Additional Information :

Mountain biking like you've never read it before!

Riding safely is easy and fun!
Follow the marked trails: These trails are your best friends! They’re there to guide you and give you a safe ride. And don’t forget to follow the direction of travel, so you don’t come across any unexpected surprises.

Stay realistic and cautious: You’re a hero on two wheels, but even heroes have their limits. Keep your speed under control to avoid mishaps.

Politeness and caution: When overtaking or passing other riders, remember that pedestrians are king. A smile and a kind word can make all the difference!

Check your machine: Before you set off, make sure your ATV is in top condition. And don’t forget to take along a repair kit, just in case.

If you’re going solo: Tell your friends and family about your itinerary. Better safe than sorry, right?

Helmets, your best friend: Wearing a helmet is like putting on a superhero cape. You’re ready for anything!

Respect private property: Paths sometimes cross private or cultivated land. Respect them as if they were your own backyard.

Watch out for farm and forestry machinery: They’re big, they’re strong, and they’ve got the right of way. Stay alert!

Close the gates behind you: It’s a simple gesture that can save a lot of trouble.

Leave nature as it is: Don’t pick flowers, fruit or mushrooms. They’re more beautiful in nature!

Respect wild animals: Don’t disturb them. They appreciate peace and quiet as much as you do.

Waste, zero trace: Keep your waste with you and be discreet. Nature will thank you!

Have fun on the trails and enjoy every moment in nature!
