The Summit

2026 Running ITV1

Action Adventure

The Summit sees 14 strangers from all walks of life face the daunting challenge of climbing a mountain in the rugged Alps of New Zealand's south island. They will also face the ultimate test of strategy and resilience as they compete for a share of a potential £200,000 cash prize. With 2 weeks to reach the summit, and an equal share of the prize fund in their backpacks, the contestants will have to navigate treacherous terrain, wild conditions and overcome challenges – set by the mysterious Mountain's Keeper – that block their path to the peak. But it isn't just a test of physical strength; strategy plays a crucial role, as the cast will also have to eliminate their competitors along the way. Who will forge alliances? Who will betray? And ultimately who will have what it takes to conquer the mountain and claim the prize?
