Description
Picture the Auvergne volcanoes rolling past under your wheels, the silence of the trails through the Parc naturel régional des Volcans d'Auvergne, the steady hum of the electric motor pushing you through the climbs and the sense of freedom that only mountain biking delivers. E-biking in Auvergne is the nature incentive near Clermont-Ferrand that opens mountain trails to everyone, regardless of age or fitness level, thanks to the electric assist on the Lapierre Overvolt TR 5.5 bikes.
Leading every outing is Tom. Tom knows his region and its volcanoes like no one else. He picks the routes, shares his stories about the territory, points out viewpoints that don't appear on maps and turns every ride into a genuine immersion in Auvergne's natural heritage. Two starting points are available depending on the format: departure from the Maison du Parc des Volcans d'Auvergne to explore the regional nature park, or departure from the Sancy massif side for its valleys and volcanic summits.
Three hours of activity, a half-day to set aside, up to 50 participants and landscapes that genuinely stop you in your tracks around every bend: e-biking is the incentive that makes people want to ride again, even those who haven't been on a bike in years. It combines a real change of scenery, a measured dose of effort and discovery of an exceptional territory in a format that is effortlessly convivial.
