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.

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!!!

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.
