An amazing Gravelup trip in the Ventoux! The organization was fantastic, and our guide Oliver shared his passion by taking us along all the stunning gravel trails around Ventoux with some serious climbs and taught us how to descend safely without falling!

And let’s not forget Olivier, our organizer, who took great care of us, always ready with some local snacks for a little boost, and even setting up a table with a tablecloth at the top of a pass!

An unforgettable experience!

Bravo, Gravelup!

Ventoux à vélo avis

Gravel weekends in the Morvan in May 2023, the Vosges in September 2023, and the Ventoux in May 2024. Each time, breathtaking landscapes and excellent organization by Gravel Up, from the guides, lodging, meals, support, and bikes, to of course the gravel routes through pristine nature and absolute tranquility. It’s always an amazing experience, and I can’t wait to do more!
