The GTMC is a long-distance mountain biking trail that crosses the entire Massif Central in France, from Clermont-Ferrand in the north to Montpellier and the Mediterranean Coast at Sete. All of the major regions of the Massif Central are visited, including the Auvergne, the Cezallier plateau and the remote Margeride, the high forested hills of the Cevennes National Park and the limestone hills bordering the coastal plain. Much of the route is off-road and uses many Grandes Randonnees, so it also makes an excellent walking route. Just over 700km in length it offers a challenge to the mountain biker or walker, as well as the pleasure of exploring one of southern France's most beautiful and historic regions. This title describes route in 17 stages. Alternative on- road route is described for road cyclists. It offers additional information for walkers. It presents background information on places of interest, contact details and other useful information.
