100 % Gravel Adventure

Discover the Swiss Alps with GravelUp. 3 days in the heart of the Gantrisch Nature Park. Known for its ski slopes, this region reveals a whole new side by gravel bike, with deep forests, rolling ridgelines, and lush valleys.

We’ve found a charming and authentic inn in the Bernese Alps: the perfect basecamp to set out each day and uncover the treasures of the region. Along the way, you’ll be captivated by the harmony of the landscapes, the tranquility of traditional villages, and the grandeur of the surrounding peaks.

Team favorite: riding along the ridges with breathtaking Alpine views… followed by a well-deserved fondue at the end of the day.

Whether you’re a gravel enthusiast, a sports adventurer, or simply looking for a refreshing nature escape, this long weekend on two wheels is an invitation to breathe, ride, and marvel.

I have been fortunate enough to take part in five GravelUp trips: in Switzerland, Oslo, around Mont Ventoux, in the Grands Causses and in Nice. Each experience has been exceptional. The gravel routes are magnificent, perfectly chosen and suitable for all levels. The organisation is flawless, with a team that is both professional and friendly. The accommodation and restaurants are always of a high standard. A friendly atmosphere and team spirit are guaranteed! GravelUp is the benchmark for real cycling adventures.
