Crossing southern France from Clermont-Ferrand in the north to Montpellier and the Mediterranean, the GTMC is an epic mountain bike trail. In its 700km it visits all the regions of the Massif Central – among them the Auvergne, the Cézallier plateau, the remote Margeride and the forests of the Cévennes.

Largely off-road, the route offers a great challenge for long-distance walkers and an on-road alternative for road cyclists is also described and mapped in this unique new guide.
