Mégavalanche 2005 - l'Alpe d'Huez
The Mégavalanche held in the ski resort of l'Alpe d'Huez (Isère) offers two marathon descents through the stunning mountains of the Grandes Rousses with a qualifying race on Saturday 30th July and the Mégavalanche the following day.
Open to Pros and Amateurs alike the Mégavalanche is the longest, hardest and most spectacular mountain bike descent in the world. The mixed course, starting from the top of the 3323 meter Glacier de Sarenne puts cross-country and downhill specialists on level pegging. The route is some 30km over 2800 negative meters, from the Pic du Lac Blanc (3323m) to the village of Allemont (720 mètres), a mixture of ice, snow, high mountain tracks, pastures and forest single track.
