Possibly the world's largest mass-start MTB race. Over a thousand riders launch together off the Les 2 Alpes glacier at 3,400m, then drop toward the valley below. Decided in minutes, not hours.
The route
A single mass start at roughly 3,400m on the glacier, then a mostly downhill dash of around 2,400m of vertical over 26km. Snow and ice at the top give way to bike-park tracks, singletrack, rock and fire road in the valley.
Mid-June, Les 2 Alpes
Highs around 17°C and lows around 7°C, but it has dropped to -1°C. Rain on 43% of days. Pack for the cold end, not the average.
