The Grandes Traversées VTT® are intended for roaming and discovering territories. These long-distance itineraries, which cross entire massifs or departments, are conducive to escape and the discovery of wild landscapes. These itineraries allow you to get away from it all on your mountain bike in complete peace of mind, since specific markers (red beacons) and a topographical guide are available to help you on your way. The Grandes Traversées are of variable difficulty, look carefully at the description of the itinerary and do not hesitate to contact the reception points to prepare your stay. We are lucky, France is a dream destination! 14 Grandes Traversées VTT® are labeled by the French Cycling Federation in 2021, and among them the Grande Traversée de la Creuse !
