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 ways to experience an all-inclusive, guided gravel adventure in the Grands Causses, in a small group. Choose between a 4-day basecamp trip, exploring a different loop each day from our camp, or a 5-day point-to-point adventure for the ultimate wilderness experience. From the Larzac to the Rougiers, ride through lunar landscapes, charming villages and breathtaking views from the highlands, including the legendary Pouncho d’Agast. Several departures are available on fixed dates.

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!

The routes are absolutely stunning, and the guide has an excellent knowledge of the region, leading the group along varied terrain through beautiful landscapes and charming villages. The organization is outstanding: picnic lunches, dinner at a traditional local restaurant, a yoga session, and generous, delicious breakfasts.
The GravelUp team is attentive and highly responsive when unexpected situations arise — we had four punctures on the very first day! This trip exceeded all my expectations, offering both a real change of scenery and a fantastic group atmosphere. 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.
