Discovery of the Piton de la Fournaise by electric mountain bike
Arrived at No Bellecombe-Jacob, the breathtaking view of one of the most active volcanoes on the planet (Piton de la Fournaise) makes us measure how small we are in front of Mother Nature.
A tasting awaits you at Pas des Sables (with a view of La Plaine des Sables): fresh fruit juice / “la cour” infusion / toast with local products (guava…); This is a good time to talk with your guide and learn more about Reunion Island.

The bikes provided are electric, but you can also switch them to unassisted mode. It is a course accessible to the greatest number of people, but which still requires a minimum of physical effort.
