The Schilthorn range in Mürren, Switzerland is known as a home to the Inferno Challenge since it was born in 1928. The competition is the oldest surviving downhill ski race in the world and at 15 km on a 2 km vertical slide; it’s one of the longest and most risky. After the Range Rover Dragon Challenge, witness the amazing Range Rover Sport Downhill Challenge.
The grand challenge featured the 510-horsepower, supercharged V8, and the chopper was there for little extra safety measures.

Apart from the movie, Land Rover also provided a behind the scenes view to the stunt’s filming, as it declares no CGI was used. The British USV manufacturer has a history of feats like this.
