About this cycling trip

2 days / 2 nights - From 690 €

Welcome to Champagne, and more specifically the Montagne de Reims Natural Park. Known for limestone based white chalky trails that wind between vineyards, villages and rolling hillsides, making it an ideal area for starting gravel riding, and getting into cycling in general.

We’ve carefully created our routes in the area so that over the course of the two day getaway you’ll be taking in the best of the trails as well as the best stops to soak up some local culture. No visit to Champagne would be complete without some bubbles as part of a wine tasting with a passionate local winemaker, where you’ll discover everything about the process… and possibly be tempted into a bottle or two!

The landscapes of Champagne are home to all sorts of delights just waiting to be explored, with vineyards and forests as far as the eye can see covering the rolling hillsides, with charming villages like Hautvillers and Epernay tucked in between. And all just 1 1/2 hrs from Paris!

Join us as part of a small group with other adventurers of a similar level.

Great first time! Sporty but not a cyclist. The weekend in Champagne was fantastic! I took the electric bike option and don’t regret it! I highly recommend that comfort—it won’t stop you from pushing yourself hard 😃. The organization was perfect, and I really enjoyed it. Thank you for introducing me to this activity!

Roadbook Champagne Escape GravelUp - Day 1

Day 1 – Welcome to Champagne

Welcome to La Farm, your basecamp for a timeless weekend on the white gravel trails of Champagne. For those who need it, we’ll pick you up at Épernay train station around 6:30 PM, before heading to this unique spot nestled in the heart of the vineyards, just 20 minutes from Reims.

Co-created by Matthias Dandois, BMX legend and 9-time world champion, La Farm blends rural charm, premium comfort, and breathtaking views over the rolling Champagne hillsides.

After a welcome drink and first ride briefing with your guide and our local host, we’ll gather for a traditional dinner: a hearty champenoise stew, lovingly prepared by the mother of one of Matthias’ childhood friends.

The tone is set. Here, we take the time to ride, to share, and to savour every moment.

Roadbook Champagne Escape GravelUp - Day 2

Day 2 – La Montagne de Reims ~ 63km / 1000m+

Time to hit the trails for your first gravel loop through the forests and iconic vineyards of the Montagne de Reims. A gently rolling playground, perfect for warming up the legs while soaking in the views. The white gravel paths wind between trees, vines, and charming villages where the history of champagne has been written for centuries.

After the ride, it's time for a cultural treat! We'll open the doors of a local cellar for a guided tour and a sparkling tasting session — the perfect opportunity to dive into the secrets behind the king of wines.

We return to La Farm in the late afternoon for some well-earned relaxation. Glasses raised, local dishes served, and a friendly atmosphere all around. Gravel riding in Champagne is also about this: the art of living.

Roadbook Champagne Escape GravelUp - Day 3

Day 3 – Côte des Blancs & Final Bubbles ~ 58km / 450m+

Today, we head to the Côte des Blancs, birthplace of Chardonnay and a dream playground for lovers of gentle, contemplative gravel. The terrain becomes more rolling, the views just as stunning, and the route leads us through golden vineyards and charming heritage villages.

Back at La Farm, we share a final lunch together — tired legs, but big smiles all around.

For those heading home by train, we’ll drop you off at Épernay station around 4:00 PM, saddle bags filled with memories that sparkle.

Fancy a Private Trip?

Ride with your favorite people - we’ll handle the rest.
