WELCOME TO MTBM
We organize fully catered MTB weekends where every detail is taken care of. MTBM.eu has been operational since 2012 and focuses on Enduro and gravity orientated riders.
ENDURO TRIPS
Les Hautes-Rivières is among the top destinations for enduro riding in the region. Because of this, we have chosen to set up camp here, both literally and figuratively.
@BIKE RETREAT
Our aim is to maximize your biking experience. Your stay is all-inclusive at our exclusive Bike Retreat, topped by a decade of local expertise, exceptional trails, and an awesome vibe!
LES HAUTES-RIVIÈRES
We are situated just before the charming French town of Monthermé. Our bike base is nestled along the Semois River, right beside the trails, accommodating 8 riders and open from April to September.
Roc la Tour is een beroemd uitkijkpunt welke volgens lokale geruchten het kasteel van de duivel zou zijn geweest.
In 1900 werd in Naux een metalen voetgangersbrug welke beide wereldoorlogen heeft overleefd.
Onze Bike Retreat ligt direct aan de Semois: post-ride 'Kronenpijp' it is!

WELCOME IN THE SEMOIS VALLEY
Les Hautes-Rivières is located just across the Belgian border and we are in the French 'Parc naturel régional des Ardennes'. Between the town of Les Hautes-Rivières and Monthermé, the Semois meanders its way through the valley before finally joining the Meuse at Monthermé. The highest point is around 425m and as we descend to the river, the closer we get to the Semois, the steeper it gets at some stages. You will find around 20 Enduro stages in the region, which are very well maintained by the local MTB Club (Semoy VTT) and recognised by the authorities, making them completely legal to enter; It's All Ride! We organised our first weekend in the region in 2013, so we know it like the back of our hand here. Our routes are beautiful and almost entirely unpaved with a natural build-up. We love this hidden gem ourselves and have been working hard on the 'Bikers Retreat' since 2022 to refine it to perfection. Will you be shredding along in '25?
MTBM BIKE RETREAT MONTHERMÉ
Since our first event in the region in 2013, we've been hitting the trails here at least twice every season. Throughout the years, we've stayed at the same campsite, and after some good discussions, we got a solid 'D'Accord' from campsite owners Tony & Leatitia Chevalier for a fantastic permanent spot at Camping des Rapides des Phade. The dream of creating a place where we can offer the perfect weekend escape is slowly becoming a reality. Each season, we continue working hard to make it even more enjoyable, and we dare say we're well on our way. Time has literally stood still here, and the location is sublime: right by the trails and the Semois! To cater to bikers' every need, MTBM started building the ultimate 'Bikers Retreat' in 2021, and now, in the 2025 season, we're opening it to the 'big' audience. Whether you're an old friend of MTBM, a fan of the region, or completely new but guaranteed success thanks to our local knowledge, every Enduro rider is more than welcome! If you're looking to ride a lot, stay comfortably, enjoy delicious food in our unique spot in the midst of nature and by the trails, then MTBM is definitely for you: It's All Ride!

In chalet 'Le Cheval de Bataille' bevindt zich de keuken en het verblijf van het team. In het iets kleinere chalet 'Bois Gentil' is de gezamenlijke ruimte met open haard voor de koude avonden maar ook de eetruimte bij een bui.
In seizoen 1 miste we ruimte voor bagage en het klussen aan de bikes. De legertent, 'Le Shop' gedoopt, biedt uitkomst!
In de derde kampeerbungalow en tevens nieuwste aanwinst van de Bike Retreat vind je twee, tweepersoonskamers met elk een comfortabel stapelbed.

ENDURO WEEKEND LHR
As you may have noticed, all our weekends are all-inclusive: accommodation, meals, and beverages, along with guidance, are always included in the trip cost. In addition, we offer three different weekend packages. The 'Classic Weekend' means that as a group, we ride, climb, and descend together. It's the real deal Enduro, featuring the most stunning routes. We've dedicated special attention to developing routes with minimal asphalt climbing. Currently, over 85% of the Enduro Weekend LHR consists of singletrails. During this weekend, we cover between 40 and 50 km daily, with around 1200 meters of elevation gain and 5 to 6 stages per day. What makes the Classic Model so popular is the vibrant atmosphere and the group experience throughout the day. We're outdoors all day, immersed 100% in nature, 100% of the time. We've received numerous compliments on our routes, even from seasoned riders familiar with the area. Climbing offers a different perspective on the surroundings and enhances the satisfaction during the descents. For the 2024 season, we have four weekends planned: Fri, May 24th to Sun, May 26th Fri, June 21st to Sun, June 23rd Fri, July 26th to Sun, July 28th Fri, Sep 6th to Sun, Sep 8th For more detailed information, you can visit the specific product page.
