featured in News & reviews Author Ellie Mahoney, Les 2 Alpes Editor Updated 21 April 2022

The Mountain of Hell freeride downhill mountain biking competition is open to a number of international downhill experts as well as amateur riders.

Between the 3400 metre start on the glacier and the finish at 900 metres in Venosc, this enduro-style course crosses icy pistes, technical singletrack, rocks, woods and even a few flights of steps. Each year’s Mountain of Hell has a different theme, and recent years have seen Men in Black and Rocky editions, as well as a Pirates of the Caribbean theme in 2018. Fancy dress is encouraged, with free entry to the following year’s race for the best selfie-in-costume-with-bike photo. Registration opens on October 15th 2018, with the 2019 event scheduled for June 28th to 30th 2019.
