A Bikepark with a Unique Character
Last year, as hosts of the European Cup, we set the bar high and left a deep impression on both riders and international teams. We were incredibly pleased with the praise from competitors, parents, and managers regarding our organization, the relaxed atmosphere, and the fantastic venue. The 2025 season finale here was an unforgettable weekend full of emotions. Kopřivná simply offers the complete infrastructure required for a modern European-standard race weekend – a fast chairlift, a premium hotel, renowned dining, and tracks right at your doorstep.

For 2026, we have prepared a track that will test all the downhill skills of the European elite and showcase downhill in its purest form. Technical natural sections, roots, rocks, jumps, and the search for the fastest line will highlight riding technique and courage. Our famous DH line, HYPA HYPA, specially modified for the prestigious international Rookies Cup, proved last year that while it punishes mistakes, a clean line rewards you with an excellent time at the finish.
