Cycling in the Dévoluy massif is an experience in itself. Here at La Joue du Loup, cycling takes on a whole new dimension when the snow melts and the trails open up to two-wheelers. Our bike rental service invites you to discover this little-known facet of a resort usually associated with the joys of winter.

Mountain biking reigns supreme in our region. Away from the urban cycle paths, the wilderness awaits you. Imagine riding the trails of the Parc VTT du Dévoluy, where every bend reveals a panorama more impressive than the last. There's something for novices and experts alike, with routes marked by the French Cycling Federation ranging from accessible green to technical black.

The pure air of the Hautes-Alpes fills your lungs as you pass through shady forests and verdant mountain pastures. Between La Joue du Loup and Superdévoluy, the trails wind through grandiose landscapes dominated by Grand Ferrand and Obiou, the massif's iconic limestone giants.

Renting a mountain bike in La Joue du Loup is your passport to adventure. In summer, when the thermometer shows ideal temperatures, setting off early in the morning will allow you to enjoy the coolness and observe the local wildlife. Enduro routes offer thrills for downhill enthusiasts, while cross-country routes will satisfy those looking for a prolonged effort.

Don't hesitate to pack a picnic in your backpack. Some of Dévoluy's finest views are accessible only to walkers and cyclists. What a pleasure to enjoy a meal facing the immensity of the mountains, in a silence broken only by the tinkling of the clarines of the herds in the alpine pastures!

Our team will advise you on itineraries adapted to your level and provide you with detailed maps. We also offer electric mountain bikes for those who wish to venture further afield without worrying about the altitude difference, which can be considerable in our region.
