La Léon, un des sentier signature du centre décrit par Bike Magazine – Ryan Stuart « We point the bikes down Leon, a rollicking ramble. Even though the trail just opened the weekend before, it feels and looks surprisingly established. Cobbles of stone link granite slab, turning what would be a disjointed trials test into a roller-coaster ride. A protruding rock or amiable stump is now a small kicker. Banks line every corner. It’s smooth and playful–the first of many joyful descents to come." (Ryan Stuart BIKE may 2016)
