  • ("Mega Avalanche" redirects here. For other uses, see Avalanche.) Megavalanche (nicknamed "Mega") is a enduro mountain bike race held annually at the Alpe d'Huez ski resort in the French Alps since 1995, and annually on the island of Réunion. The Alps event, being the more widely publicized and famous among downhill cycling enthusiasts, starts on the glaciated summit of Pic Blanc in Huez and descends to the valley bottom at Allemond, for a total of over 2,600 vertical meters (8530 feet) and a 20 km (12 miles) distance. The mass-start race is known for its fast speeds and winding turns over varying terrain, with hundreds of riders descending the mountain at once. Despite the inherent dangers, officials state that injuries are modest, and that the race is less dangerous than it may seem to outsiders. The course is designed to slow the riders down around tight curves and the width of the glacier at the race's start line allows the riders to spread out. (en)
  • La Mégavalanche est une épreuve sportive de vélo tout terrain de descente se déroulant chaque été depuis 1995, à l'Alpe d'Huez sous le format d'une descente marathon avec départ en groupe (mass-start), sur le glacier de Sarenne à 3 300 m d’altitude jusqu'à Allemond 2 600 mètres plus bas. Il s'agit d'une épreuve pionnière de descente marathon, inspirant par la suite la création de l'Enduro (cyclisme). (fr)
  • 超級雪崩速降賽(英語:Megavalanche),由1995年開始,於滑雪季度終結之後,在法國阿爾卑斯山阿尔普迪埃兹舉辦,一年一度的山地單車耐力賽。賽事全長20公里(12英里),由海拔3,330米(10,930英尺)積雪開始溶化的山頂出發,經過甚少植被碎石嶙峋的路段,最後進入迂迴多彎的森林,直降2,600米(8,500英尺)到達終點。 (zh)
