48h pour déconnecter et se dépasser, entre nanas ! Aux côtés de Céline la fondatrice Wilma, rejoignez un petit groupe de femmes pour découvrir le massif du Morvan en Gravel.
Chez GravelUp et Wilma, nous sommes convaincus que le Gravel est une pratique largement accessible à tous, mais dans laquelle la femme est bien souvent sous-représentée. Il est temps de faire bouger les choses !
Parcours accessibles à tous : entre 60 et 80 km par jour (samedi et dimanche). Des traces incroyables. Pas de chrono, pas de GPS. On part ensemble, on finit ensemble. Du fun et des rencontres. L’esprit gravel avant tout.
Une déconnexion totale : notre hôte et guide Sébastien, amoureux de la nature, nous accueille dans son gîte, véritable cocon perdu au milieu de la forêt. Initiez-vous à une activité bien-être (relaxation ou méditation), de quoi déconnecter complètement le temps d'un weekend. Et au menu c'est cuisine gourmande et locale.
Hors des sentiers battus : 2 jours à vélo pour explorer les innombrables lacs et les forêts denses de pins, qui font la réputation du massif du Morvan, aussi appelé le "petit Canada". Immersion en pleine nature garantie!
Avec ou sans gravel : venez avec votre vélo ou louez en un avec nous. Rien de mieux pour débuter que de tester du bon matériel. Nous vous aiderons sur la partie mécanique pour que vous n'ayez pas à vous soucier de rien.
Vous avez d'autres questions sur le programme : n'hésitez pas à nous contacter ici.

Ride on the Graxx, the carbon Gravel bike from the French brand Origine that combines performance, versatility, and lightness (only 8.1kg).
At ease on the road as well as on paths, the Graxx filters terrain imperfections through suspension tuning. Coupled with a comfortable and secure geometry and generous tire sections, it allows for engaging routes to be undertaken safely.
Price of the rental on this trip: 100 EUR (to be paid at the time of online booking).
Discover Origine Cycles
On this destination you will be able to ride the eGravel HELP from the French brand Origine.
The Help is one of the most sporty and lightweight electric Gravel bikes that exists. It is the ideal bike for your off-road adventures, with a reduced weight that allows for transport in any circumstance. This bike retains the dynamic qualities of a muscular gravel, with its battery incorporated inside the diagonal tube for a total weight of only 12 kilograms.

Equipment
Yes, our trips will go on paths and small roads where neither road bikes nor mountain bikes will be suitable.
You can bring your own gravel bike or hire one from ours. Our well specced bikes with tubeless tires means a much lower risk of punctures and mechanical problems during your trip.
Logistic
We offer people leaving from Paris a grouped departure on board the GravelUp van. This service is not included in the price of 490 eur, and is only offered for practical reasons. Therefore, we do not offer any discount on the price for people not using the van and coming by their own means.
Level
We have 3 levels of expeditions - you can find them on this page HERE by clicking on the "Compare the levels" link. These levels have been designed to enable as many people as possible to join one of our trips. Our expeditions are adventures, not races. We start together and we finish together, it's the GravelUp speed.
If, however, you are still unsure, you can write to us at bonjour@gravelup.earth and we will contact you to help you assess your level. We can also help you prepare for your adventure, just ask us.

In the heart of the Parc Naturel Régional du Morvan, the van heads straight towards the horizon, with the (future) adventurers on board, eager to give the first pedal strokes of this Up Morvan trip. An air of Indian summer reigns in Saint-Brisson, where we arrive around midday. The autumn colors are already in full evidence, and temperatures are still mild for November 11th...
