I adore GravelUp, simply put. To date, I've had three trips with them, all fantastic client experiences and great places to ride. I will be back for more. Well-thought-out routes, caring and attentive managers and guides, great food, and all about the joy of the sport instead of just watts. Highly recommended!

We did a five-day trip in Norway in July 2025. An absolutely fantastic experience. Our guides, James and Colin, were outstanding.

My friends offered me a 5-day gravel trip in Norway with GravelUp. It was a wonderful experience that I highly recommend to all cycling enthusiasts looking for a change of scenery and a good atmosphere. Top-notch organization and super-friendly team. Thank you Thomas G.
An Unforgettable Cycling Adventure! I joined as a guide and had the pleasure of five days with great cyclists from US and France, getting to know them and riding the great roads of Norway with them. What Olivier and his team have created is so good, I love the atmosphere!

We’ll meet you at the train station or airport around noon, before kicking off the adventure with a welcoming drink and an introductory briefing. The day continues with an orientation ride through Nordmarka, this vast wild territory on the outskirts of the capital — perfect for getting your legs moving and soaking up the Scandinavian atmosphere. By the end of the day, we head to our accommodation in the heart of nature for a first shared dinner. The magic of the North begins from the very first moment.
We leave our stopover hotel in Hallongsdall to reach Hamsedal, the first ski resort marking our adventure. But first, we climb a highland plateau—a first immersion into the raw and majestic Norwegian wilderness.
By the Hemsil River, we pause for a picnic to recharge before tackling the next plateau. Deep forests, sparkling lakes, and endless Scandinavian panoramas accompany every pedal stroke.
The day ends in an extraordinary setting: a yoga-focused hotel nestled by a majestic lake and surrounded by towering peaks. Here, nature becomes our sanctuary, and every moment invites contemplation and serenity.
At daybreak, a yoga session is offered for those who wish to stretch gently before hitting the road. Today’s route winds between sparkling lakes, silent valleys, and towering ridges.
The highlight: the Slettefjell Pass, a true balcony overlooking the surrounding mountains. At every turn, grand panoramas unfold in the heart of pristine nature—truly a day to remember.
For the evening base camp, welcome to Gronole, a family-run residence in the heart of Norway, managed by two brothers with strong personalities. Let yourself be charmed by its traditional architecture, warm hospitality, and dinners prepared with passion, for an unforgettable local experience.
We continue our journey along the Mjölkvegen, the legendary Milky Way once traveled by milk collectors moving from pasture to pasture. Every pedal stroke on this five-star gravel route immerses us in breathtaking Nordic landscapes, from lush valleys to majestic peaks.
The highlight of the day: climbing the Valdresflye, one of the highest points of our trip. Lunar-like panoramas, striking light, and the unique feeling of being alone in the world accompany every moment. After the effort comes relaxation: a lakeside sauna, a daring plunge into icy waters for the bravest.
Tonight, we park our bikes at Grethe’s family-run hotel, near a small local ski resort. Here, you can enjoy the indoor pool or simply admire the valley and mountains you’ve just traversed—a true sanctuary to end a day rich in emotions and Nordic landscapes.
For this final ride, we take a leisurely pace to fully savor every moment of this Nordic escape. The forests, the low sunlight, and the endless landscapes invite quiet contemplation. After a shared lunch in the heart of nature, it’s time to head back. We’ll accompany you to Oslo’s train station or airport around 5 PM, hearts light and minds full of memories. Takk Norge.

Level
With us, there’s no stopwatch. We start together and we finish together. To help every rider find the adventure that suits them best, we offer 5 difficulty levels, from 1/5 to 5/5, detailed below. The level of each trip is shown at the top of its page, on the header photo. If you’re still unsure, just write to us at bonjour@gravelup.earth — we’ll be happy to help you assess the right level for you.
Please note: all our trips are open to e-gravel bikes (available for rental in all our destinations). Our groups include both traditional and electric bikes to ensure a smooth balance of pace.
Booking
Not at all! Our expeditions do not require previous gravel riding experience. Our itineraries are designed to be accessible to all, as long as you have a spirit of adventure. You may have to carry or push your bike on some short sections, but that's part of the Gravel Up adventure!
Please note: Our hire bikes are the latest spec models and are meticulously maintained for your comfort and safety. They are the ideal bikes in terms of comfort and safety for all our adventures
Equipment
Yes, we ride on routes where neither road bikes nor mountain bikes are perfectly suited — that’s what makes gravel so special! You can bring your own gravel bike or rent one directly when booking your trip.
Across all our destinations, we offer two models from Origine: the lightweight Graxx GTO (8.1 kg) and the Help e-gravel (12 kg). Both combine performance, versatility and comfort - perfect companions for your adventure. Learn more about our rental bikes.
Good to know: Thinking about buying a gravel bike after your trip? Our partner Origine will refund your first day of rental if you decide to purchase a Graxx or Help afterwards - the perfect opportunity to test them out before making your choice.
Practicalities
You will be accommodated in charming hotels, chalets, or renovated former shepherds’ cottages, carefully chosen for their comfort, history, and the authenticity of their hosts!
Booking
We prioritize small groups of 8 to 12 participants to encourage meaningful interactions and maintain the friendly spirit of the trip.
Traveling in a small group also allows us to minimize our impact on the trails we use and to respect the territories we pass through.
Safety
