Corsica

We have 3 levels of expeditions - you can find them on this page HERE by clicking on the "Compare the levels" link. These levels have been designed to enable as many people as possible to join one of our trips. Our expeditions are adventures, not races. We start together and we finish together, it's the GravelUp speed.

If, however, you are still unsure, you can write to us at bonjour@gravelup.earth and we will contact you to help you assess your level. We can also help you prepare for your adventure, just ask us.

Our expeditions are adventures, not races. We start together and we finish together, it's the GravelUp speed.

It is difficult to give a precise average speed as the surfaces make a big difference, as well as admiring the views! Average speeds are normally between 15 and 18 km/h.

Not at all! Our expeditions do not require previous gravel riding experience. Our itineraries are designed to be accessible to all, as long as you have a spirit of adventure. You may have to carry or push your bike on some short sections, but that's part of the Gravel Up adventure!

Please note: Our hire bikes are the latest spec models and are meticulously maintained for your comfort and safety. They are the ideal bikes in terms of comfort and safety for all our adventures

Don't worry its not problem and it happens to everyone, even the best, at some point! Our guides will be there to make sure you hydrate and eat properly each day to help avoid this, as well as manage your effort levels whilst riding.

In case of more serious difficulties:

• On our Adventurer routes, our base camp will never be too far and our support vehicle can come and pick you up at any time.

• On our Explorer or Pathfinder point-to-point routes, our support vehicle will be available to collect you as needed to help you recover. Theres also the possibility to shorten the routes in some places or to leapfrog some sections allow you to join the group a little further on.

You can cancel at any time before the start of the trip subject to payment of a cancellation fee. If the cancellation occurs:
