Fat Biking · La Palmyre
How to choose
Exploring the coast on a fat bike around La Palmyre lets you ride directly across sandy beaches and coastal trails. All four options come from a single local operator, Fat Sand Bikes 17, and run from December to March. Two of the packages are independent equipment rentals starting at 24 € for durations ranging from 2h to a full day, which are self-guided rentals rather than accompanied outings. The guided excursions along the wild coast cost 47 € and last 2.5h. Every option is rated “Everybody welcome”. Departures are split between La Palmyre and nearby Ronce-les-Bains in La Tremblade. If you want a structured group ride with local guidance along the wild coast, choose the 2.5-hour tour. If you prefer to set your own pace and explore independently, opt for the rental.
