Mountain biking Provence-Alpes-Côte D'Azur

In Montgenèvre, the mountains aren't just for winter activities, even as one of the world's oldest winter sports resorts. In summer, too, the terrain offers descents, races, flights, slides and rides. Since the inauguration of the Bike Park, Montgenèvre has established itself as the ideal place for mountain bikers of all levels: downhill, of course, but also cross-country, four-cross and trials for thrill-seekers. And let's not forget the summer toboggan, the famous Monty Express, with its 1,400-metre downhill run!

The Roya Évasion team takes mountain and white water sports enthusiasts to magical places, where sensation and adventure are at every turn. They propose all year long transhumance, trekking or snowshoeing excursions. Via ferrata, mountain biking and enduro in the Mercantour, or canyoning to discover the wild Carleva, the Guiou with its clear waters, the tropical Barbera or the top Maglia, are on the program. Not to mention kayak-raft (single-seater), canoe-raft and rafting... there is something for everyone!

It's the biggest mountain bike event in the world! Established in Fréjus and Roquebrune-sur-Argens since 1997, the world's premier mountain biking event is now attracting over 20,000 participants every year. Amateurs and professionals of all ages are increasingly lining up at the start of the various races on offer. For five days, numerous events are organized at the various sites of the Fréjus nature reserve. The Roc d'Azur is also a cycle show, bringing together all the major bicycle brands.

Inaugurated in 2013, the campsite Hyères - Îles d'Or has fourteen mountain bike circuits. These are very diverse landscapes covering these 100 kilometres of groomed trails, from family walks in the forest to steep sea trails. To better locate, four sectors were identified on the mainland: the site of the Maunière (6 circuits, 2 to 6 km), the Château site (Boucle loop: 5,4 km), the site of the Borrels (two circuits, 2,7 and 18 km) and finally the Velodrome site which includes an initiation loop, very short and slopes. But originality probably lies in the existence of four circuits on Porquerolles Island, from 6 km to 14 km. The description of each course is visible on the site of the Mairie de Hyères.
