Avis itinérance vélo Corse

A trip that leaves wonderful memories! An experience to share with perfect strangers or good friends, where time spent on the bike—and off it—creates shared moments that build new bonds or strengthen existing ones. The accommodations, routes, delicious meals—everything was perfect during this stay in Corsica !

Full days well spent, with effort always rewarded by breathtaking views, stunning landscapes, and untamed nature. One of the highlights was cycling through the maquis, bringing a taste of adventure that sticks with you and makes you eager for more unique experiences like this !

Thank you and kudos to Gravel Up for the organization from start to finish; it was absolutely fantastic !!

avis Gravel en Corse

An incredible experience in a stunning setting, masterfully organized by the entire Gravel Up team! Everything was perfect – the bikes, the base camp, the routes, the lunch breaks, and of course, our guide James, who looked after us throughout these days of adventure in Corsica.

If you love cycling and want to experience something off the beaten path that you’ll remember for a lifetime, go for it! Gravel Up is made for you!!

Flawless organization! The organizers took care of every detail, including tuning up the bikes—even those that weren’t rentals. The atmosphere was fantastic, and Corsica truly lives up to its reputation as the "Isle of Beauty," with routes that showcase so much of its splendor.

This trip also gave me the chance to test my new gravel bike, which (by chance) was also an Origine Graax—a great choice!

An exciting stay with the discovery of varied and intense sporting routes through magnificent landscapes. Quality and friendly staff who were able to help us discover the local cuisine at the same time.

Very well organized trip to Corsica. A great island for gravel cycling. Gravel Up guiding was very professional and the route planning adapted to our group. Gravel bikes were very good (both muscle and e-bikes). Breakfasts, lunches, snacks and dinners were tasty and plenty. Accomodation (the base camp) is very special! All in all a 5* trip.

It was a unique gravel cycle experience in Corsica. Without GravelUp, I would never have traveled to such a beautiful island. The accommodation and itineraries were robist in the right sense. Strong recommendation😎
