The dates have been set for Megavalanche 2019, with the event returning to resort from July 8th to 14th for its 26th instalment.

This seven day mountain biking event draws people in from all over the world to compete in a series of fast and furious downhill races. Open to amateurs and professionals, there are a number of competitions taking place over the week. From speed trials to enduro races, to a dedicated women's event, there is something for everyone.
