How the activity works

🛠️ Welcome and kitting up at Les Bicyclettes du Grenier

You arrive at the starting point in Orcines, right next to the Chaîne des Puys. Your guide welcomes you, allocates your e-bike, adjusts it to your height, and gets you kitted out: full-face helmet, gloves, knee and elbow pads. A few minutes is all it takes to be ready — and already, you're itching to get going.

⚡ Getting to grips with the e-bike

Before heading out onto the trails, your guide walks you through how the electric assist works, the basic settings, and the key safety points. A few practice turns are all it takes to build confidence — and before long, the electric assist makes the hills feel like flat ground.

🌋 2 hours of guided riding through the Auvergne volcanoes

You're off! Your guide leads the way on carefully chosen routes — nature trails, quiet roads, viewpoints over the Chaîne des Puys — sharing stories, local secrets, and tips throughout. The group rides at its own pace, through an exceptional natural setting near Clermont-Ferrand. Don't forget to stop for photos!

🏁 Back to base, buzzing

The ride ends back at Les Bicyclettes du Grenier. You hand back the equipment, swap impressions with your guide, and head home with pleasantly tired legs and a head full of stunning views.
