Secondary route
- Chalinargues / Coltines (par le Lioran): 61.09 km - 07 hours
A legendary mountain bike itinerary
The GTMC route stretches for 1,380 km of mountain biking from Le Morvan in Burgundy to the Mediterranean. The route passes through three regions, ten departments, four regional nature parks and a national park. The Auvergne region, situated in the middle of the route, is an essential stage on this itinerary, with a multitude of trails that are suitable for a variety of cycling activities, particularly mountain biking.
The main route crosses the Cantal department from north to south. The route begins at the village of Pradiers in Le Cézallier, then continues through La Pinatelle forest and the Saint-Flour Planèze to finally reach the Margeride massif.
A route that is firmly established in the heart of nature: you’ll travel along 100 km of winding trails across plateaux, pastures, forests, summer pastures and planèze.
