VTT La Barillette – Go and see up there!

VTT La Barillette – Va voir là‑haut! is scheduled for Saturday 29 August 2026 and returns as the 32e édition of the local mountain‑bike festival around Chéserex in the canton of Vaud, Switzerland. The event page (VTT La Barillette) confirms all starts and finishes will take place on the Place de Chéserex in 2026 to improve comfort for spectators and competitors. The race identity emphasises a community festival atmosphere with sponsors, on‑site shopping and volunteer participation. The French event name is kept in official communications: "VTT La Barillette – Va voir là‑haut!".

The 2026 programme includes multiple graded courses for children, youth and experienced riders, with a 500 m toddlers track, a 5 km children’s parcours, 10 km and 20 km youth courses, and a 38 km XC route for seasoned riders. E‑bikes are explicitly permitted on the timed course and in the classification when they pass speed control checks (commissaires, -25 km/h rule). Food trucks, drinks and a shop stand are noted as part of the on‑site offerings, and official timing is provided via the MSO timing platform linked from the event pages. Specific start times, category wave times, entry inclusions and pricing are not stated on the provided pages and remain to be confirmed on the organiser’s registration pages or athlete information documents.
