Petit groupe d'amis pratiquant régulièrement le VTT, nous avons découvert des paysages et des sentiers extraordinaires. Le choix des traces était tout à fait adapté à notre niveau et notre guide a su prendre en compte les niveaux variés du groupe. Nous ne pouvons que conseiller Exoride. Merci encore à notre guide et notre chauffeur.

Après 1/2 jour de cours de vtt privé, je conseilles vivement un cours chez Exoride pour débuter dans la discipline ou améliorer sa technique! Bonne organisation, parcours adapté au niveau et prix raisonnable. Christian est pédagogue, patient et sympathique. J'ai beaucoup appris lors de ces quelques heures, à refaire!
