Mountain biking in Reunion Island
No need to introduce mountain biking which has been successfull worldwide since its emergence in the '80s. Reunion did not escape this craze, and that's why more than 1,400 km of easy to dizzy tracks have been marked and labeled by the French Cycling Federation.

Main Mountain Biking Tracks

These tracks are of different difficulty levels, indicated by different colors, like on ski slopes.
Green = trail accessible to beginners.
Blue = easy run.
Red = trail of moderate difficulty.

10 stations share these tracks:
"Geranium" in le Maïdo, l '"Entre-Deux", "Cilaos", "Goyavier" and "Volcano" in the High Plains, "Vacoa" in St Philippe, "Vert Bleue" in Ste Rose, Bras Panon, Salazie and St Denis

As for skiing, start with the green slopes, then you may be tempted by the blue slopes, still accessible. Or simply discover the quiet coastal paths which are less steep ...

- For fans
The blue runs (in particular Maïdo) or red runs(such as the "Volcano" station).

- For experienced mountain bikers
The black runs down from Cilaos or Maïdo, or the Volcano (30 km long with 1,300 m of difference in altitude!). The former Mégavalanche route going from Tévelave to Saint Leu.

Also try Quad biking !
Two companies offer you to discover the joys of quad biking: with mountain bike wheeled vehicles, ride the paths of the Etang Salé forest, and even downhill on the Dimitile slopes for the more daring !
For crazy mountain bikers ...
