Description
A competition unlike any other in the world!
Les Cognées – It's a gathering of vintage forestry tractors, featuring competitions, exhibitions, concerts, a refreshment stand, and fast food… In short, everything you need for a fun and friendly time, Cognées style!
The tenth edition will take place from June 19th to 21st, 2026: three days of festivities and two days of competition in a friendly atmosphere.
The Cognées Mechanized Logging Competition is a unique motorized competition in the world! This event brings together around twenty professional loggers who come with their own skidders, their everyday tools, to win the competition!
At the controls of their machines, the drivers tackle a technical course that incorporates as many of the challenges these experienced operators might encounter in their professional activities as possible: steep ascents and descents, rocks, tight turns, bridges, and natural features that must be protected.
The Mechanized Logging Competition also features a large exhibitors' village showcasing manufacturers and distributors of equipment for professionals and individuals.
