Located in the heart of the Basque country, St Pée sur Nivelle is a beautiful traditional village in the south west France. Surrounded by dense forest, near Nivelle river with its white sand beach and very close to the Atlantic Ocean beaches, this place is a paradise for those who want to combine a visit in the amazing French countryside and enjoy various outdoor activities.
With more than 100 km/62.1 mi of well marked trails, one of the best ways to discover the area and the mountains around, is to plan an organized tour with quad bikes.
The Raid Adventure Trail starts from the center of St Pée sur Nivelle village and takes you and your friends in an exciting exploration adventure through wild nature, green forests with eucalyptus and oaks, wide open meadows and onto the mountain at a height of 600 m/1968 ft, where you can admire breathtaking views of the countryside.
Once you reach the end of the trail, there is a great gourmet food stop in the Spanish side within a typical public house, where you can enjoy your company and share your experiences. The trail is approximately 90 km/56 mi long, about five and a half hours of quad biking fun, with steep uphills and technical zones, suitable for all skill levels and ages.
The experienced tour guides would lead you safely through the woods and explain everything you need to know on the way. The best season for this adventure is from Spring through Autumn, where you can enjoy the blooming forest and the warm combined Mediterranean and Atlantic Ocean’s climate.
So pack your bags and good spirits and prepare yourself for an amazing quad biking adventure through the unspoiled French mountains. The quad bikes are automatic and you can choose to either ride alone on a single seated bike or with a passenger in a two seated bike.
