Trail Reviews

Mickael
April 11, 2026, Auvergne Pays d'Issoire - Circuit VTT itinérant en 2 jours – Côté Livradois (O)

Tour that hurt me. Arrived in Usson, I took off my pants due to hyperthermia. After 20km I was done, I don't know why. But with willpower or madness, I finished. Tour with eco+ eco tour+ and emtb to be economical. All this to see if the Sancy tour is feasible. In Usson I had the chance to be scolded by a small squirrel. First time I hear their cry in real life 🥰 In Champagnat-le-Jeune you can see an old farm rehabilitated with some explanatory panels on life at the time.
