Our hosts will introduce you to their culture and will demonstrate an exceptional sense of hospitality. Norwegians know how to entertain and share the love for their land.

Beyond biking: our stays are not limited to gravel biking. We invite you to let go! Well-being moments – yoga, meditation relaxation – and of course, a visit to the famous Scandinavian sauna are on the agenda. Explore picturesque villages, soak up their charm, and taste the local cuisine.

End of a top 4-day weekend in Oslo. Wonderful group and atmosphere. Sublime trails, picture-postcard scenery. 4 outings, each more varied and beautiful than the last. Excellent organization by Olivier and Monica. Long live Gravel Up, it was the first time for me but I've become yet another fan. See you soon (maybe in the Vosges for my VGS badge).
