Mountain Biking Trails at Vieilles Forges Lake

  • The Voie Verte and forest paths
    For families, the lakeside mountain biking tracks offer flat, safe routes. In particular, they are perfect for spotting herons and beavers without any technical difficulty.
  • Ardennes elevation gain
    More athletic riders will love the “Cap Adventure” or “Grand Tour” packages — tackling the hills towards Les Mazures with demanding climbs and technical descents guaranteed. As a result, the Ardennes offers over 400 km of mountain biking trails to explore.
  • Daily serviced equipment
    Every mountain bike is serviced daily, with brakes and suspension checked and ready for the forest trails. As a result, you can ride with complete peace of mind.
  • Route recommendations
    Our team is on hand with mountain biking advice: an easy lakeside loop for families, or more challenging terrain towards Les Mazures for the more adventurous.
