In Praz-sur-Arly, near Megève, Haute-Savoie Quad organises guided quad bike rides on mountain tracks and paths. Outings are led by professional guides and cater both for people discovering quad biking and experienced drivers.
How does the ride work?
The usual option lasts around 2 hours. Participants familiarise themselves with Polaris Touring 570 quad bikes, designed for one or two people, before setting off as a group with the guide. The pace and route are adapted to conditions and drivers' ability.
A valid category B driving licence is required to drive. A passenger can sit behind the driver under the organiser's conditions.
A highly seasonal activity
Time slots change throughout the season, with more departures in summer. Longer formats may occasionally be offered, particularly around a meal or an evening outing.
What makes the difference here is the Alpine terrain: the experience centres on a guided ride around Praz-sur-Arly, with mountain terrain and tracks as the driving setting, rather than a closed circuit.
