Follow the waymarked mountain-bike trails across lush green valleys or high mountain plateaus.
More physically demanding than the “classic” version, cross-country mountain biking takes you along the waymarked MTB trails.
Sancy boasts more than 570km of trails approved by the FFC (French cycling federation) with more than 50 itineraries of various levels across the massif. Explore the Sancy landscape by following the FFC mountain bike trails across the different sectors.
