CIRCUIT

Olympic: The Cross Country Olympic (XCO) circuit at Bike Park Nevados de Chillán, designed and developed for the UCI Masters MTB World Championship 2026 and located high in the Andes, both within and around the Bike Park, combines natural trails with constructed technical sections.

It features a varied course with demanding climbs, stretches of native forest and open areas with views of the volcanoes. Competitors will face steep ascents, fast singletrack descents and technical sections that will test endurance, bike-handling skills and race strategy.
