Quad & dirt biking
Two addresses, two ways to ride off-road at the gates of the Verdon: the motocross, enduro, quad and trial school on 600 hectares at Senez (Espace Loisirs Boade), and guided quad and SSV rides across the Valensole plateau and the Basses Gorges (Quad Escape, Sainte-Croix-du-Verdon).
The Verdon doesn’t have a single dirt biking venue: two separate operators, about thirty kilometres apart, cover different needs. Boade is a closed estate of 600 ha, built for supervised free-roam riding and lessons (motocross, enduro, quad, trial). Quad Escape takes its clients onto the tracks of the surrounding countryside, on guided rides across plateau, lake and gorges.
A 600-hectare estate entirely dedicated to free-roam off-road riding, about ten minutes from Castellane: a motocross, enduro, quad and trial school, with 6 motocross tracks and 1 supercross track, plus routes marked by level so riders can progress safely. On-site camping and accommodation. Open from 1 April to 31 October, every day, weather permitting.
Guided rides on two-seater quads or SSV/buggies across the Verdon Regional Nature Park: the Valensole plateau, Lake Sainte-Croix, the Basses Gorges du Verdon, the Moustiers-Sainte-Marie area and the Haut Verdon. CQP Quad-certified guides, operating since 2000. Open year-round, by reservation.
Two quite different pricing structures — confirm the details directly with each operator, as these prices can change from one season to the next.
Trial, cross, enduro or quad riding: €25/person. Trial only: €15/person (two sources differ slightly on the exact package details — confirm when booking). Address: 180 route de Boade, 04330 Senez. Animals not allowed on site.
Discovery ride, 1.5 h: €150 (SSV, 2 people) — €200 for 3-4 people. Adventure ride, 2.5 h: €250 (2 people) — €300 for 3-4 people. Half-day: €320/2 people. Full day: €430/2 people. Family package in SSV from age 5 (passenger), sport package on a two-seater quad from age 12 (passenger). Online booking at quadescape.com.
Quad Escape is booked online. For Boade, it’s best to call before travelling: the site is open weather permitting, with no published online booking.
boade.com, old, no longer responding): the current site is espace-loisirs-boade.com.Boade is located at Senez, about ten minutes from Castellane; Quad Escape is based in Sainte-Croix-du-Verdon, on the shore of the lake and a stone’s throw from Moustiers-Sainte-Marie. A good way to combine an off-road outing with a swim, a stroll through the villages, or another outdoor activity from the activities guide.
Two addresses at the gates of the Verdon: Espace Loisirs Boade, at Senez near Castellane, a 600-hectare estate dedicated to motocross, enduro, quad and trial riding, either as a school or free-roam; and Quad Escape, based in Sainte-Croix-du-Verdon, which offers guided rides on quads or SSV/buggies across the Valensole plateau, around Lake Sainte-Croix and through the Basses Gorges.
At Quad Escape, a car driving licence is required to drive an SSV/buggy or a two-seater quad on roads and open tracks. For the closed circuits at Boade (motocross, enduro, trial), the operator publishes no licence requirement — check directly, depending on the activity and the rider’s age, when booking.
At Quad Escape, the family SSV package accepts children from age 5 as a passenger; the sport package on a two-seater quad requires a passenger aged 12 or over. Boade is aimed more at riders who are autonomous on its level-marked routes — contact the operator for the exact minimum age by discipline (motocross, enduro, quad, trial).
At Quad Escape, expect from €150 for a 1.5-hour SSV discovery ride (2 people), up to €430 for a full day. At Boade, access to the tracks is charged per person: €25 for quad, cross or enduro, €15 for trial only. These are the prices displayed by the operators: confirm them before booking.
