The 2026 Les Gets downhill schedule begins on 28th to 31st of May. The season continues throughout June and July with more rounds in Austria, Switzerland, and Italy.

The downhill track in Les Gets is fast and technical. It starts high above the village and runs through fields before dropping into tight, wooded sections filled with roots, rocks, and jumps. Riders will reach very high speeds, making it very dangerous, then a few tricky corners and steep drops in the forest await them. The mix of open and wooded terrain makes it exciting to watch, with amazing views of the riders.
