Far away from the first steam locomotives and the most modern TGV, Vélorail undeniably presents itself as an original and user-friendly way to navigate the kilometers of rails that are now disaffected. A steel machine, two to three pedos, sometimes some seats for the less reckless, and it's gone for a journey of the most atypical to the conquest of the historical and cultural heritage of Hexagone! Browse the forests, cross the plains, cross bridges, tunnels and viaducts: a real journey over time, sharing with friends or family, with the guarantee of eliminating some calories!

Tariff: 30 € le Vélorail of 5 people for Corgnac-Thiviers and Corgnac-Saint-Germain routes (mandatory reservation by phone).

An ecological discovery trail lets you discover (with or without a guide) a wetland area rich in flora and fauna specific to the banks of the Germaine. The trail is located in the Marais de Groléjac regional nature reserve. Upstream of the lake, the reserve boasts a remarkable biological heritage. In any season, the ballet of birds is fascinating. In summer, the lake is reserved for swimming, but it is possible to hire a boat.

Do you crave height and want to realize man's oldest dream? Here's a sensational gift idea, for an unforgettable moment from a unique vantage point. Patrick Bourgeois founded chutelibre.fr, making his passion his profession. He holds a Brevet d'Etat d'éducateur sportif, and has logged 10,000 jumps. In addition to tandem skydiving, which lets you learn to free-fall in a two-seater parachute, with an instructor handling the technical side of the jump, he offers two-seater paragliding flights.

Nicolas is a native of the area and knows all the trails like the back of his hand. He'll be able to put together a tailor-made trip, an adapted course (beginners and advanced) or a well-organized outing to make your experience a pleasant and rewarding one. He's well-versed in coaching methods and will suggest sessions that will help you progress according to your expectations and desires. As a certified instructor, he guarantees the safety of all participants and proposes circuits to be completed on an electrically-assisted mountain bike. Group packages available.
