Course

The 2026 Bolero UEC Gravel European Championships will take riders through the magnificent surroundings in and around Houffalize. Along the winding Ourthe river, between green hills and endless forests, lies the stage for the European Gravel Championships. Here, where rolling landscapes and pure nature meet, riders will battle for the European gravel titles. The renewed course remains faithful to its legendary start via the steep Côte de Saint-Roch. This decisive climb immediately sets the tone and returns later in the following lap(s). Along the way, the course winds across beautiful gravel sections and fast forest roads. Approximately 70% of the route is off-road, with the hardest climbs concentrated in the first half of each lap.
