Located in Aigle, the Center Mondial du Cyclisme UCI (CMC) is a remarkable center for cycling enthusiasts and professional cyclists.
The wooden velodrome has an impressive length of 200 meters and a width of 6.65 meters. The steep slope of 46.7 degrees makes it a challenging track for cyclists. The maximum speed that can be reached here is 80 km/h. The total surface of the velodrome is 1,700 m², and its volume is 200 m³. The entire structure weighs 120,000 kg.

The World Cycling Centre is an elite level cycling training centre that also hosts the headquarters of the UCI, cycling's world governing body.
The centre is open to the public. You can stop for coffee or a meal at the Vélodrome, the in-house café. You can also check out the indoor velodrome and visit the exhibition area with a Hall of Fame and a collection of vintage bicycles.
Groups can book a track cycling introduction with a coach or a guided visit of the centre.
Last but not least, kids will love the pump track located next to the centre.
