La Couzanaise (enduro circuit n°77)

Enduro Course Definition

An Enduro course offers a mountain bike circuit with generally descending profiles interspersed with short climbs. The departure and arrival locations are separate.

Enduro courses are set up on paths/trails in agreement with the landowners. The driving rules are the same as for mountain bike trails (control your speed and trajectories, priority for the pedestrian).

It is a discipline that requires very good technique and significant physical commitment from the pilot. Protection strongly recommended: Wearing a Jet AM or Full helmet, back protector or approved bag, knee pads and long gloves.

Classification and Markup

Enduro MTB routes are identified by 4 colors, each corresponding to a different degree of difficulty:

Green: Very easy route

Blue: Easy route

Red: Difficult course

Black: Very difficult course

The specificity of the activity requires particular marking. The background of the marker indicates the difficulty of the route while the triangle and the two circles are white.

All circuits are passable by VTTAE

Possibility of practicing them outside the opening of the chairlift from the Col du Béal with a 4km connection.
