Description
On Friday 11 September, enjoy a unique experience in the heart of the countryside during a day entirely dedicated to electric mountain biking, led by a professional guide.
Set in the heart of the Jura Vaudois Regional Nature Park, this day out offers you the perfect opportunity to hone your technique, combining enjoyment, learning and a change of scenery in an exceptional natural setting.
A full day to make progress, have fun and get away from it all
Guided tour: personalised techniques and advice
After setting off from the village of Saint-Cergue, we’ll follow easy trails towards La Givrine. We’ll then ride through the typical mountain pastures of the Jura range, straddling the border between Switzerland and France. As we head towards Mont-Sala, the trail narrows and becomes more technical. Our aim will be to reach Pré-aux-Veaux for a well-deserved lunch break. The return journey to our starting point will take us through magnificent landscapes with incredible views of Lake Geneva and the neighbouring Alps.
Lunch: a convivial meal is included
At midday, we’ll enjoy a meal included in the registration fee. It’ll be a chance to relax and socialise, catch up with one another and recharge our batteries before the afternoon’s adventure.
During the day, one hour will be devoted to learning or improving your mountain biking technique (cornering, braking, negotiating obstacles and so on).
Under the guidance of an experienced instructor, you’ll set off to explore the trails of the Vaud Jura:
dense forests,
peaceful glades,
spectacular views of the Alps,
and perhaps a few encounters with the local wildlife.
A carefully chosen route designed to offer a complete immersion in nature, combining physical exertion with the joys of the great outdoors, all in complete safety.
