Beta bikes you can trust

The bike matters as much as the terrain.

We run a factory-fresh Beta fleet, renewed every season — no bike is ever more than two seasons old — prepped every evening with the same care we put into our routes — 11 years in the Beta factory network shows.

No inner tubes

Mousse inserts on every bike — no punctures, better traction, zero time lost fixing flats.

Set up for you

Lowering options for shorter riders, comfort tweaks on request. You ride a bike that fits.

Evening prep

Checked, cleaned and prepped in the workshop every night. You wake up to a ready bike.

The closing window

One of Europe's last free terrains. Ride it while the window is open.

Across Europe, legal off-road terrain shrinks every year — trails close, access tightens, and it never comes back. The Massif Central is one of the last places where enduro is still genuinely free: vast land, deep history, a world-class trail network. Nobody can promise it stays this way for another 20 years. We ride it now — 100% legally, on authorized routes, with state-certified professional guides.

And it's easy to reach: Lyon international airport is ~90 minutes from the basecamp.

What riders say

Real riders. Public Google reviews. No fluff.

"The best riding experience you can have. Not just once in a lifetime, because once is not enough."

The essentials

Before you plan anything

How much does a week cost?

The Basecamp Week is €2,590 all-inclusive at the founding rate — bike, fuel, meals, guides, bed and spa entry included. The Pilgrimage is €3,690. For a shorter custom stay, build your trip and get a clear number in minutes.

What level do I need?

All levels — genuinely. From your first proper off-road week to hard enduro, we ride in small level groups and add guides when levels mix. Not sure where you fit? Send us 3 short clips of you riding and we'll place you honestly.

Can I bring my own bike?

On the Basecamp Week and custom stays, yes — BYOB is welcome, secure garage included, and you save on the rental. The Pilgrimage runs exclusively on our prepped Beta fleet: a 700 km point-to-point needs a bike we can stand behind — and it's included in the price.

When do tours run — and how do I book?

The season runs April to November. Pick your week on the calendar, then hold your seat with a deposit — we confirm your dates personally and send a full recap.

Ready to ride France properly?

Five days, one basecamp, everything handled — or the once-in-a-lifetime crossing. Either way: just show up and ride.
