Date : 27-29 mai 2023 - capacité limitée à 7 personnes.
Roulez avec Céline la fondatrice de Wilma et 7 autres nanas pour vivre une expérience forte hors des sentiers battus à la découverte du massif du Morvan!

Un programme 100% féminin
48h pour déconnecter et sedépasser, 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 lesinnombrables lacs et les forêts denses de pins, quifont 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.

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.

Yes, our expeditions 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.
I want to come to the Morvan, but I don't leave from Paris, can I get a discount for my transportation?
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.
I really want to join a trip but I'm not sure I have the level or experience ...
Level
We have 3 levels of expeditions - you can find them on the home page 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.
How do you choose your guides and are they qualified?

Au cœur du Parc Naturel Régional du Morvan, le van file droit vers l’horizon, avec à son bord les (futurs) aventuriers impatients de donner les premiers coups de pédale de ce voyage Up Morvan. Un air d’été indien règne à Saint-Brisson où nous arrivons vers midi. Les couleurs automnales sont déjà bien présentes et les températures sont encore douces pour un 11 novembre...
