Route level description

Family routes:

The route is intended for all family members, from 5 to 75! Your technical skills and physical abilities won't be a show stopper here. All you need is to be able to ride a bicycle on unpaved terrain, the electric assit motor will do the rest for you. Enjoy the ride!

Intermediate rider routes:

The route features a couple of technical portions (short steep or rocky sections, obstacles clearance) and calls for an average physical fitness (occasional sports practice & exercising) in order to keep-up with the group. All family members can ride such routes as long as they are able to manage their speed on the aforementioned terrain.

Advanced rider routes:

The route features numerous technical sections, typical of mountain terrain (steep portions, wet, loose or rocky terrain, obstacle clearance, roots...) and can stretch over long distances. You are a capable rider (riding on a regular basis) and your physical fitness allows you to be endurant and pedal over extended periods of time at a medium pace. Don't worry, it's completely worth the effort!

Your personal equipment

Cycling specific gear:

Your bicycle has to be in proper working order, suited for the intended route and the battery has to be fully charged before departing in the case of an e-bike.

Don't forget to bring a flat repair kit adapted to your bicycle (air-tube and patches are often provided for bicycle hires) as well as your water bottle.

Clothing:

You are expected to wear fully closed shoes that provide adequate grip and protection to your feet. Your clothes should at least cover your torso and thighs when riding. A pair of sun glasses and gloves also make your ride a lot safer while wearing your helmet is mandatory.

In your backpack:

A small backpack will do the job just fine (10L per person, 25L if you bring the family along). Don't forget your basics:

For full day rides, you should consider bringing 1.5L of water per person (should no drinking water be encountered along the route) as well as your own lunch.
