GRAVEL BIKE TRIP IN THE GRANDS CAUSSES

Welcome to the Grands Causses, a hidden gem nestled between Lozère and Aveyron, where limestone plateaus, breathtaking canyons, and dramatic cliffs create a rugged, awe-inspiring landscape. An ideal playground for gravel riding, with a mix of smooth tracks and secret trails, right in the heart of unspoiled nature.

Two formats to choose from:

  • 3 days / 3 nights (loop format) – explore a different route each day, all starting from our cozy basecamp.

  • 5 days / 4 nights (point-to-point adventure) – a true deep dive into the Grands Causses, from Larzac to the Rougiers, across lunar landscapes, quaint villages, and stunning panoramic views from the high plateaus — including the legendary Pouncho d’Agast.

GravelUp takes care of everything: local guide, comfortable accommodation, delicious meals, luggage transport, and high-end bike rental (optional). Join a small group of passionate riders, or make it your own private trip starting from just 4 people.

An amazing experience with the GravelUp team on the Grand Causse adventure over three days. A caring and attentive crew, an outstanding guide, and a gravel route with stunning landscapes. The little extra? Full technical support throughout the trip — from mechanical help to refueling stops. Thanks for everything, and can’t wait for the next adventure!

A fantastic trip with GravelUp. Beautiful cycling among fellow lovers of nature rides, all in a great atmosphere. You quickly feel among friends, carried along by the efficient and caring staff of this young company. Long live gravel riding!

An excellent long weekend in the Larzac with GravelUp! The routes were stunning, and our guide knew the region inside out, leading the group through varied terrain, beautiful landscapes, and charming villages. Whether on e-bikes or regular bikes, everyone could keep up and enjoy the ride at their own pace.

The organization was flawless: picnic lunches, dinner in a traditional local restaurant, a yoga session, and hearty, delicious breakfasts. The bikes were recent and very well maintained.

The GravelUp team was attentive and responsive to unexpected situations — 4 flat tires on the first day! This trip met all my expectations: a real change of scenery and an amazing atmosphere.

Whether you're new to gravel or already a fan, I highly recommend GravelUp for your next adventure.

My stay was a real pleasure! All the logistics are perfectly managed, which is perfect for clearing your head and having nothing to think about but walking along beautiful paths. The route was well thought out to vary the scenery and see as much as possible. It was a real pleasure to be able to meet with other members of the group and we were able to share quality moments both on the bike and during the other activities.

An absolutely unforgettable trip with an incredibly caring organizing team! The setting was spectacular, and the days were perfectly planned with little surprises throughout the stay. Accommodation and meals were wonderfully convivial. I highly recommend it — and I’ll definitely travel with GravelUp again!!!

An adventure retold - welcome to the gravel paradise of Les Grands Causses.

My mother always said that you have to take the plunge, a phrase that is entirely appropriate here. No matter what has brought us here and where we have come from, we find ourselves in the saddle ready explore the roads, gravel and paths less travelled here.
