The Verbier Bike Festival is a major cycling celebration that attracts both thrill-seekers and families looking to enjoy the great outdoors.
The event combines scenic rides, local food and wine tastings, and opportunities to meet local residents. It’s a different way to experience the mountains, blending sports, culture, and a friendly atmosphere.

Whether you come to test the latest models from major brands or simply explore the marked trails of the Val de Bagnes, there’s something for everyone. The routes on offer let you discover little-known corners of the valley. For the more adventurous, daily challenges add excitement to the experience: speed, orienteering, and endurance events.

Beyond the sporting activities, the festival highlights local cuisine. The flagship event, the Rando Gourmande, is the best example of this. This bike ride, punctuated by gourmet stops at local restaurants, invites participants to discover regional specialties as they ride. Alpine cheeses, artisanal charcuterie, and Valais wines: cycling becomes an excuse for a tasting tour. You can also explore the Discovery Trail and the lively Event Village.

The beating heart of the festival remains its village. Several exhibitors—including most major bike brands—showcase their latest innovations. Thanks to bike test sessions, you can try out many different models right there. The festival also welcomes families, with activities for children as well as musical entertainment.

Registration is open until the day of the event. You can bring your own bike or rent one on-site.
