downhill in the Massif Central

Does anyone know if there is any lift accessed or uplift assisted downhill bike park or natural trails to be had in the Massif Central France?

 Can anyone recommend a resort or a holiday company?

Depends how close you want to get, the Morzine (passport de soliel) area is the best one to go to for mountain biking, that's about 40k away.

I think you might be confusing the grande massiff (samoens/flaine etc) in the alps with the massif central. They are a long way apart. 

That depends what you call a long way apart, they are closer to each other than either is to me

There are a few natural trails listed on this site  http://www.gps-tour.info, but not many.

edit: and they are not downhill, so not a lot of help really.

Thanks for the link.

It is only downhill trail of the type that you rightly recommend morzine for that I am looking for.

I have found out from another source that there is some at Mont Dore Super Besse,

has anyone been there?

Not sure about massif central, there are quite a few ski resorts tucked away but very few that operate in summer. Might be an excuse to get into the old fashioned "riding uphill?"

Are you based in the area? I live further south but will be working near Laguiole quite a bit this winter.
