About this cycling trip

Head to the Grands Causses, a land of freedom and escape tucked between Lozère and Aveyron. With its vast limestone plateaus, deep canyons, spectacular cliffs, and UNESCO-listed landscapes, gravel riding here takes on a whole new dimension. Expect silence, raw nature and wide open spaces.

Over 4 days of riding, you’ll explore a protected Regional Natural Park, with rolling and accessible tracks, forest trails and panoramic ridgelines, winding through unique geological formations. A varied playground, far from the crowds, to breathe and reconnect.

This trip is also about the Southern spirit: genuine hospitality, flavourful local produce, and shared moments. No need to tick off passes — you’re here to live the moment.

Grands Causses trip on October 4th, 5th, and 6th, 2024—had a fantastic time with the team and the Gravel Up crew. Top-notch organization and stunning routes. Would do it again ! Yves S.

2nd experience with GravelUp: Nice in the spring and then the Grands Causses in October. Each time has been a unique adventure, discovering incredible trails, enjoying a great atmosphere, and benefitting from an organization that lets you settle in, lace up your shoes, and follow the guides 💫. Can’t wait to experience new horizons soon 🚲 🌍 😎 Anne V.

Amazing gravel adventure in the Grands Causses—perfect for clearing your mind and pushing your limits in a friendly, welcoming atmosphere! The organization was top-notch, and the Gravel Up team was incredibly professional and supportive. Exploring the beautiful Aveyron gravel trails with such a great group was a real pleasure, and gathering around fantastic tables to recover after the ride made it even better. With Gravel Up, just a few days on an expedition feels like two weeks of vacation. Long live Gravel Up!!!

3 incredible days of sport and nature, with magnificent and varied landscapes in the Larzac and Causses Noires regions. Everything is done to make the most of a relaxed, rhythmic atmosphere. Between cycling and pleasure... everything runs smoothly at GravelUp!

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.
