A beautiful route in the Morvan with an efficient and attentive team. The routes were chosen by a guide who knows the trails and the environment perfectly. Accommodation, coffee breaks, and meals were flawlessly organized, featuring mostly local products. An enriching and personally challenging trip.

Two days of nature and fresh air in the Morvan with friends, in sporty mode but with all the comfort (Colin and Paul taking care of us in the great lodge and throughout the food stops). Morning sun salutations to kick off the second ride, chasing away clouds and sore muscles. Seb, our gravel guide, knows his playground by heart, revealing it bit by bit with topographical surprises along the way.

A second amazing GravelUp experience in the Morvan. The team was, as always, fantastic, with our awesome host Colin and coach Sébastien, who put together routes perfectly tailored for us. The Morvan is an ideal destination to start gravel riding. Go for it with your eyes closed — you won’t regret it! The landscapes are stunning and varied, the terrain is perfect, the food is excellent, and the Gîte des Taureaux is super cozy. Convinced? Then go ahead and sign up 😋

Sublime experience with GravelUp: equipment, team, instructor. An opportunity to discover France and other continents in a new way. The icing on the cake: the team is always ready to help. Don't hesitate to discover Gravel or use your Gravel with them.

First gravel trip with the Gravel Up team, two days completely out of this world, in an incredibly friendly atmosphere. Here, it's not about competition, but about beautiful and varied routes, sometimes challenging but always accessible, with top-notch support. No one is left behind; we all ride together.

Everything was perfect: the organization, the good vibes, the kindness of Aurélien (Gravel Up) and Phil, our guide, and the ideally located wooden-framed lodge.

We come back with wonderful memories and I'm already thinking about the next trip!

Congratulations and thank you for this amazing experience!

Women's gravel weekend organized by the GravelUp team. A simply brilliant excursion with a team that listens, ultra-cool bikes, and a route suited to beginners and more experienced riders alike. I loved it and recommend you try it if you want to try the gravel adventure! An experience I will be repeating!

Your adventure, day by day.

Stages, landscapes, highlights: discover the program that awaits you. This itinerary may be adjusted depending on weather or logistics, to ensure the best possible experience.

Jour 1 : Morvan l'arrivée des clients

Day 1 – Arrival and immersion in the Morvan atmosphere

After being picked up by the GravelUp van in Nation at 3 p.m., welcome to the Morvan! As soon as you arrive at 6 p.m., immerse yourself in the warm atmosphere of the place: typical accommodation, a friendly welcome and a presentation of the route ahead. Over a local meal featuring Burgundy flavours, get to know the group and your enthusiastic guides. The adventure begins in good spirits, with a first evening of sharing and discovery.

Jour 2 : le lac des Settons

Day 2 – Ride to Lac des Settons ~ 60km / 900D+

Head for one of the natural gems of the Morvan: Lac des Settons. You will ride through deep forests, winding paths and authentic hamlets, where the silence of nature is disturbed only by the sound of tyres on gravel. Lunch break by the water: tasting local produce, sharing with fellow riders and contemplating the panorama. In the afternoon, a gentle return ride through rolling green countryside. A day of effort and pleasure, combining sporting challenge and moments of serenity.

Jour 3 : dernier ride et au revoir

Day 3 – Le Saut de Gouloux, wild nature and the end of the adventure ~ 45km / 700D+

To round off this unique trip, head to Le Saut de Gouloux, an iconic waterfall nestled in the forest. The route winds its way through the park's trails, between streams, mossy rocks and secret clearings. Upon arrival, enjoy a moment of tranquillity: the soothing sound of water, the freshness of nature, the satisfaction of a journey accomplished. Share a final meal together, rich in local flavours and memories of the road. A finale that sums up the spirit of the Morvan: authenticity, nature and conviviality.
