Do you need a deep breath of fresh air? Do you want your friends to discover the most beautiful views of Gruissan, without giving up on exerting yourself by practicing a physical activity? Mountain biking trips are all indicated! They offer the advantage of exploring Gruissan and its surroundings. These routes take you from the edges of the ponds to Ile Saint-Martin, passing through the beach, the salt flats or the Clape massif.
Between lagoons and Clape
6 courses for all levels
The rocky paths of the Île Saint-Martin give you the calves! You press your pedals relentlessly so as not to lose the rhythm. Your friends are bickering over who will be the first to complete the island tour. You take a single track that winds through the middle of the Aleppo pines. You walk along the famous Gruissan creeks encouraged by the song of the cicadas. After overlooking the pond and taking a break in the vines, head for the beach. The scrubland gives way to the spray. You try to go as fast as one of the kite-surfers who are doing tricks. You are already dreaming of the seafood platter you ordered for your return...
At the bend of a path, you learn that there are remains of a Roman port. When you launched the challenge, you were far from imagining all the discoveries that awaited you. On the physical side, the effort is constant. The drop is fairly low, so you are not too out of breath. You had not practiced mountain biking for a few years, so this recovery is therefore super suitable.
Besides, you really appreciate the equipment you rented. The bikes are brand new and give you sensations that you never suspected.
