⏱️ This is a 3-hour solo quad experience — the ideal half-day option near Clermont-Ferrand if you want a proper ride without giving up your whole day. One rider per quad: you're fully in charge from the moment the engine starts to the moment you roll back in. The location changes with the season — Montaleix in the Sancy in summer, Super Besse ski resort in winter — two distinct settings, always deep in the Auvergne countryside. 🪖 Your quad and helmet are provided and CEN-certified. Dress smart: long trousers or jeans (shorts are strictly forbidden), a long-sleeved top, a windproof jacket, ankle-protecting boots, and glasses. 🚗 A valid driving licence is mandatory — no exceptions. The minimum age is 8 years old. A security deposit cheque will be required on the day.
