INTRODUCING

MALLE CANYON


We are thrilled to bring you one of the most exciting weekends you can have on or off 2 wheels, to beautiful Portugal. Imagine a slice of The Great Malle Rally, with a dollop of The Malle Mile Beach Race, with a side of The Malle Mile, all set in a beautifully picturesque Canyon, just 20 mins south of Lisbon, Portugal.

Kicking off on Thursday the 10th of October with a delicious feast dinner, followed by The Arrábida Rally on Friday, leading us into 2 days of Canyon Carving Races, Ridge Ride Challenges and Trail Scrambling, for inappropriate motorcycles (classics, customs, modern classics, flat trackers, cafe racers and choppers), with a back drop of very special exhibitions from our partners in the Canyon Village, The Art of Machine Exhibition and live music / DJ’s on The Desert Sounds Stage to keep us kicking up dust in the canyon until the early hours and a wonderful selection of delicious food and drinks.

Guests are invited to stay for the weekend in The Canyon Camp, in a tent or camper van, with the option to upgrade to one of The Malle Expedition Belle tents, pitched in a shaded area, 2 minutes walk from the canyon village.

Contact the Malle Canyon team with any questions or to join/host one of the ‘Moto-Pilgrimages’ to join us for this wildly fun Race/Rally weekend.

Tickets for this first edition are very limited.
Not to be missed – See you in The Canyon!

Lisbon is one of the coolest and most vibrant cities in Europe (arguably the world) and also home to some of the Malle family. We’re thrilled to finally be hosting the Malle Canyon celebration in Portugal and we’re excited to bring our Canyon guests some of the finest food, drink, art, music and motorcycles to Malle Canyon, but this will just be a taste of what the wonderful city of Lisbon and the surrounding terrain has to offer.

For those looking to extend their stay, Malle have partnered with Lisbon Insiders, to give you a curated, insiders map of the best places to eat, visit, sleep, party and explore, before or after you’re time in Malle Canyon and in beautiful Portugal.
