Best destination for cycling holidays

Yes, our trips will go on paths and small roads where neither road bikes nor mountain bikes will be suitable.

You can bring your own gravel bike or hire one from ours. Our well specced bikes with tubeless tires means a much lower risk of punctures and mechanical problems during your trip.

would you like to test a bike before you buy ? Our partner Origine is offering you the first day's hire of your bike, fully refunded if you decide to buy a Graxx or Help afterwards.

For the 2-day and 3-day trips, your luggage will stay at the base camp, where you’ll return to sleep each night. For the 5-day itinerant format, we’ll transfer your luggage between each accommodation for you. Travel light and worry-free!

On all our trips, we also provide you with Restrap bike bags, perfect for carrying a light windbreaker, a pair of gloves, and a few energy bars (but don’t worry — no risk of hypothermia with GravelUp!)

With us, there’s no stopwatch. We start together and we finish together. To ensure every rider finds the adventure that truly suits them, we offer 5 levels of difficulty, from 1/5 to 5/5, detailed below. The level of each trip is displayed at the top of the trip page, on the header photo. If you’re still unsure, simply write to us at bonjour@gravelup.earth and we’ll get in touch to help you assess your level.

Level 1/5 – Perfect for gravel beginners These 2 to 3-day trips include easy, non-technical routes with limited elevation gain. E-bikes welcome.

Level 2/5 – For occasional riders 2 to 3-day trips with slightly more demanding paths and moderate elevation gain. E-bikes welcome.

Level 3/5 – For regular riders 3 to 5-day adventures featuring varied routes with up to 1,500 m of elevation gain. E-bikes welcome.

Level 4/5 – For active cyclists 5-day itinerant trips with terrain that can sometimes be technical and challenges requiring good fitness — but always in a non-competitive, supportive spirit: “We start together, we finish together.” E-bikes welcome.

Level 5/5 – For experienced riders These 3 to 5-day trips (depending on the destination) require solid technical skills and strong endurance. The routes take you to remote playgrounds and wilder landscapes. E-bikes welcome.
