The Experience

Before You Go

Mind soft sand sections

Fat bikes and scooters handle firm trails easily but slow and pick a higher assist setting before soft sand to avoid bogging down.

Respect nesting areas

Stay on designated tracks near dunes — coastal birds nest on low dunes in spring and early summer; give them space.

Charge and range

Check battery level before departure and choose shorter loops if the charge is below 60% — GPS navigation saves distance but power use varies by mode.

Wear closed-toe shoes

Gloves and helmets are provided, but bring sturdy shoes and a wind layer for exposed coastline conditions.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Kerhillio Beach — long sandy shore with low dunes and quiet stretches
  • Kerzerho menhir alignments — lesser-known megalithic rows close to the ride’s trails

Wildlife

  • oystercatchers
  • gulls and other coastal seabirds

Conservation Note

Riders are urged to stay on paths to protect fragile dune vegetation and nesting birds; use provided anti-theft measures and pack out what you bring in.

The Morbihan coast combines maritime fishing traditions with one of Europe’s densest concentrations of Neolithic standing stones; Erdeven sits amid this layered heritage.
