Gravel Trip in the Basque Country: Between Ocean and Mountains

GravelUp trips combine sporting adventure, local immersion and seamless logistics. Group departures usually bring together 8 to 12 participants maximum. Self-guided departures are available from a minimum of two people.

Each day, you will ride between 40 and 80 km, with elevation gain adapted to your level, averaging between 500 and 1,500 meters of climbing, on carefully selected gravel routes blending smooth tracks, forest trails and quiet backroads.

For group departures, experienced guides lead the way, with mechanical support and refreshments provided along the routes. Accommodation is always comfortable and thoughtfully selected, featuring local cuisine, wellness sessions such as yoga and stretching, and convivial moments that complete the experience.

With us, there’s no stopwatch. We start together and we finish together. To help every rider find the adventure that suits them best, we offer 5 difficulty levels, from 1/5 to 5/5, detailed below. The level of each trip is shown at the top of its page, on the header photo. If you’re still unsure, just write to us at bonjour@gravelup.earth — we’ll be happy to help you assess the right level for you.

Please note: all our trips are open to e-gravel bikes (available for rental in all our destinations). Our groups include both traditional and electric bikes to ensure a smooth balance of pace.

Everything is taken care of: cozy accommodation, healthy local meals (morning, lunch, snack, and dinner), and moments to relax. We look after you from morning till night so you feel right at home… or even better!

For our 5-day point-to-point formats, your luggage will be transferred by our team between each accommodation — so you can ride light and carefree! If you choose to rent a gravel bike for your trip, we’ll also equip it with Restrap bags, perfect for carrying a light jacket, gloves, and a few snacks (and don’t worry, there’s no risk of hypothermia with GravelUp!).
