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.

would you like to test a bike before you buy ? Our partner Origine is offering you the first day's hire of your bike, fully refunded if you decide to buy a Graxx or Help afterwards.

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.

We offer 3 expedition formats on our trips: 2-day, 3-day, and 5-day adventures. For the 2- and 3-day formats, we ride out each day from a single base camp. For the 5-day format, we go on a point-to-point journey, changing base camp each night.

The main differences between the formats are the number of days on the bike and, of course, the difficulty level of the destination you choose. With us, we start together and finish together — that’s the GravelUp speed.

To learn more about the difficulty level of each destination, click HERE.

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.

Our guides are carefully chosen based on their experience and local knowledge of each region to guarantee you an unforgettable adventure. All our guides have French State validated bike qualifications. They are also French levels 1 and 2 first aid trained as you would expect.
