High Beaujolais Mountain Biking
France
8 days (Bike: 6 days)
Avid
Off-road
Self-Guided
Supported
The Beaujolais region, located to the north and east of Lyon, is a series of rolling hills summiting around 1000m above sea level.
Despite the relatively gentle nature of their slopes, the scale of the peaks and the depths of the valleys create a landscape of great panoramas and rich contrasts. The character of the hills changes with altitude as the vines give way to forests and fields on the higher slopes.
The trails are divided between two areas (and guide books), north and south of Beaujeu. The trails explore the full diversity of landscapes in both areas. They are easy to follow by the use of the official way-marks of the Federation Française de Cyclisme.
Trails of all grades but with a larger number in the difficult category: 10 easy , 19 moderate, 29 difficult, 20 very difficult
Highlights
- Picturesque rolling countryside with summits around 1000m providing exceptional views
