Mountain bike loops in the forest

 

To start your day, try the mountain bike loops ! Because of the hills, several paths are hard, you will need perseverance and mental strength to achieve your goal and finish your ride. But the beautiful landscapes you will encounter on the way will be your reward !

For the seasoned athlete, don’t hesitate to mix different loops together.

You don’t have a mountain bike ? You can rent one at Vendée Tout Terrain.

You can also enjoy a guided mountain bike ride with Mariane from Ride And. She will take you on different paths in the forest and around the lake.

Lunch break

 

After a good sport session, you are a little tired so it’s time for a breather. Make the most of your break by eating something yummy on the one of several picnic areas scattered around the forest.
