The internet’s favourite mountain bike race just happened again

June 23, 2026

If you’re into bikes, your social media feed has probably been taken over by Mountain of Hell. It happens every June. One minute you’re watching normal mountain bike content. The next you’re staring at over 20 minutes of FPV footage of hundreds of riders pinballing off each other while sliding down a glacier in France.

It’s equal parts race, survival test and internet gold. And if watching the carnage has you thinking, “You know what? I should do that,” follow the Montain of Hell FB page to find out when registration for the 2027 edition opens.

Mountain of Hell takes place in Les Deux Alpes, France and has been testing riders since 1999. The concept is pretty simple; take more than a thousand riders. Put them at roughly 11,000 feet on the Glacier des Deux Alpes. Point them down a mountain and let gravity sort out the winner. CANDIAN MTTB
