What is the ratio of pedaling and descent on your trips?

What is the ratio of pedaling and descent on your trips?

All our programs are essentially in an enduro or all-mountain format and offer vehicle, mule or horse assistance. The ratio of ascent to descent is generally between 0% and 30%. You can discover the details of the days and the elevation differences in the description of each stay or outing. For X-country programs, only transfers between two days are carried. The entire circuit is done by pedal. For the transport of mountain bikes by vehicles, we always provide suitable supports respecting the equipment such as galleries, fitted trailers or racks. For the transport of bicycles on horses or mules, we have always used this method and are well experienced to ensure the good treatment of both your equipment and animals.

Why do you find your programs or images on other sites?

In our business, it is unfortunately not uncommon for other "guides" or "agencies" not to waste time in the field and is content to simply copy and paste programs, photos or names that we have developed at length to take advantage of the visibility and credibility of Exoride in the ATV field.
If during your research on the internet you identify such a case, we would be extremely grateful if you would report it to us by sending us a short message with the link so that we can ensure you maintain quality and trust in Exoride.
