We’re returning home with truly unique memories from a gravel adventure in southern Corsica. Thanks to the attentive care and warm, personalized support from Orlane and Greg at GravelUp, the trip was incredibly rich and fulfilling. Not to mention the exceptional setting and hospitality at the base camp (La Tribu) from Cyril and Marion. Can’t wait for the next GravelUp adventure!

Some customers may say that perfection doesn't exist... but at Gravel Up, it does. I took part in a 3-day trip to Corsica. There were no false notes: the accommodation, the meals, the routes, the quality of the Gravel bikes rented (full carbon), and the exceptional scenery. Everything was meticulously chosen to please the participants, in a good mood of course. Disconnection guaranteed. Olivier, the organizer, was fantastic, and Greg, the bike guide, was extraordinary! Go with your eyes closed.

An unforgettable trip! The “TRIBU” base camp (Cyril and Marion) was just perfect in every way. The very varied and sometimes off-the-beaten-path routes allowed us to discover the full splendor of Corsica. And above all, an outstanding team—Orlane, Clém, Greg, and Nico—always attentive, exceeding all expectations, extremely kind and caring. Very strong moments of sharing, so much so that our group of 10 quickly grew to 14. Still with stars in our eyes!

Great experience in Corsica with the Gravel Up team. Thanks to Clémence for her good mood and her superb tracks in majestic places ! Corsica is gravelly beautiful. 🤘

Xavier. H

On a whim, I put my trust in Gravel Up because I had a pressing need for fresh air and a change of scenery. I ended up on the Adventurer Corse by chance. The organization is meticulous, and the communication is spot-on. When the Gravel Up team takes charge of you, you just sit back and enjoy. The Gravel tracks, the accommodation, the attentiveness, the advice, the supervision, the surprises at the end of the day, the whole experience is planned so that you just enjoy your stay without any inconvenience. I'm looking forward to the next destination. Thank you so much!

Julian. S

Fantastic organization and support from Clémence. We had a wonderful adventure in Corsica.

Alain. R

Flawless organization, with organizers taking care of every detail, including bike set-up (even for non-rented bikes), and a great atmosphere. Corsica lives up to its title as an island of beauty, and the courses allow you to appreciate a large part of it. It gave me the chance to test out my new Gravel, which was (coincidentally) also an origine/graxx: a very good choice!

Éric. L

Gravel in Corsica. The Isle of Beauty is known for its rugged coastline, heavenly sandy beaches, gourmet culinary heritage and traditions, not to mention its generous nature and mountains.
