Auvergne Volcano Mountain Biking

An mini-mountain biking break in the beautiful Chaîne des Puys

When you think MTB in France, you may think of the Alps or maybe the Pyrenees, but local thrillseekers also know about the hidden delights of trails less ridden in the Auvergne's volcano corridor. Ride the extinct Chaïne des Puys with its 80 cones and craters, including Puy de Dome, Puy Pariou, Puy de Come, Puy de la Vache and Puy de Lassolas. Explore magical lakes and thrilling descents. This is glorious MTB country in a real 'backwater' that represents one of France's lesser explored regions. Spend the weekend here to ride trails usually only experienced by locals. This tour is offered self-guided or guided. The price includes fully qualified English-speaking French mountain bike guide, guesthouse accommodation, all breakfasts, picnic lunches and dinners, plus daily baggage transfers. Self-guided riders also receive detailed travel documents, highlighted maps and GPS tracks.
