Tour du Lac de Serre Poncon

Dates: Any time from May til November.

From £380 per person

Discover the wild side of the Lac de Serre Poncon.

Totally off the beaten track, away from the waymarked routes in the mountain bike guides, this tour winds it's way through the mountains above the magnificent Lac de Serre Poncon, the biggest damned lake in Europe.

There are a variety of routes, from serious single track to gentle forest trails so the tour can be adapted to any level.

If you like the idea of stumbling across a secret bay for a quick dip, biking on a ridge with a view to die for below you, picking your way through giant and bizarre rock formations, re-filling your water bottle with fresh alpine water from a beautiful waterfall, camping wild in the middle of no-where, descending virgin territory (well okay maybe not virgin but certainly not already churned up by 100ds of bikers before you), then you'll love this....

All our Tour du Lac de Serre Poncon offers include:

• Good quality mountain bike hire suitable for the terrain

• Fully qualified local and experienced mountain bike guide

• Baggage transfers each day so you only have to ride with a day sack

• Camping accommodation during the tour (sharing two people to a tent). For the four day option the last night will be wild camping in the woods but all other nights are on established campsites with good facilities. Tents and sleeping matresses are included but you will need to bring your own sleeping bag or we can arrange a hire one for you.

• A choice of hotel accommodation options for the night before and last night of the trips.

• All food, breakfast, lunch and dinner during the tour.

• A choice of 'getting here' transport options (transfers from the airport or train stations can either be provided by us or you can self drive)

There are several waymarked mountain bike routes around the lake but it is possible to get right off the beaten track and discover a whole secret network of trails and tracks.

Obviously you have to know where to go and our mountain bike guides have been researching (such a hard job!!) all the little paths and tracks that you won't find on the map over the last decade.

To really explore the area properly you need to go for several days so we have put together a three and a four day trip, which you can do as a long weekend or as part of a longer holiday. There are a huge variety of tracks available and they can adapt them to suit your level.

So whether you are a family looking for an adventure with your children or a group of experienced mountain bikers looking for a real challenge and an adrenalin fix somewhere different, you will be pleasantly rewarded!

The days can be as short or as long as you like (well within reason - you do have to get to the next overnight spot!) with lots of picnic and swimming stops or none at all. It is really up to you - the guides know the area well enough to create a perfect itinerary for you!

Accommodation on the trip is camping, generally on established camp sites so you have washing facilities and proper toilets! But for the four day option you will be wild camping in the woods on your last night!

It is possible to upgrade to stay in the camp sites' chalets but this is subject to availability and is usually only possible outside of the holiday season.

All your baggage is transferred for you to each location so you are riding with just a day pack.
