Mountain biking Autun

Take off on your mountain bike from the top of the Croix de la Libération for a thrilling ride! A shuttle bus takes you to the summit from where four trails start, including one suitable for all-terrain wheelchairs. All levels of difficulty (green, blue, red, black) are available, and up to 8 runs can be made in an afternoon. A pump track, bike trails and enduro tracks (downloadable map at the leisure center) are also available. Equipment hire available.

The Grande traversée du Morvan is a 248 km signposted mountain bike trail between Avallon and Autun. It's not necessarily a highly technical adventure, but should be reserved for hardy mountain bikers, as 4,300 meters of positive gradient await them. Although it can be done in either direction, the route is recommended from Avallon to Autun. On the dedicated website, stages are suggested, with a GPX track for free download. Some tourist agencies also offer the excursion.
