Our tours are designed for experienced cyclists who are comfortable in the saddle for several consecutive days on mixed terrain. You don’t need to be fast or competitive, but you do need to be able to ride for 3\u20136 hours a day without it becoming an ordeal.

As a rough guide: if you can ride 80\u2013100 km with 1,000\u20131,500 metres of elevation gain, you’ll be in the right range for most of our tours. The Trans Pyrenees (780 km over 11 days) requires a stronger base than our shorter tours.

Every tour includes: hotel accommodation, luggage transport between hotels each day, a Danish-speaking guide, a support vehicle that travels with the group, and a GPS route for independent riders.

Not included: flights, travel insurance, bike transport to the start, meals (unless specified on the tour page), and personal expenses.

Our groups are deliberately small \u2014 typically 8\u201314 riders. This size works well: the support vehicle can travel with everyone without it becoming a convoy, and there’s room for riders to find their pace. It also means the guides actually know who they’re riding with.

You ride your own pace. We provide GPS routes for all tours, which means you can start when you’re ready and move through the day at a speed that suits you. Some riders prefer to start early; others enjoy riding with company. Both work. What matters is that everyone arrives at the hotel by the end of the afternoon.

It varies by destination. Most tours have a mix of unpaved tracks (gravel, compacted earth, or limestone) and paved roads \u2014 typically 40\u201360% unpaved. Scotland and the Pyrenees have more technical mixed terrain; Cyprus and the Algarve are more moderate.

We recommend a gravel bike with 40mm+ tyres. A hardtail MTB or adventure bike works too. Road bikes with narrow tyres are not suitable.

The support vehicle carries basic spare parts and tools. For most common mechanicals \u2014 punctures, chain issues, minor adjustments \u2014 we can deal with it on the road. For significant problems, we can transport you and the bike to the next hotel. Arrive with your bike in good working order and carry a basic kit yourself: inner tube, CO2, multi-tool, quick link.

We handle bookings directly \u2014 no third-party platform, no automated system. Get in touch by phone or email, tell us which tour you’re interested in, and we’ll confirm availability and walk you through the process.

As early as you can. Popular tours fill up months in advance, particularly spring departures. If you have a specific date in mind, don’t wait. We’ll let you know if there’s availability, and if not, we can put you on a waiting list or suggest alternatives.

Yes \u2014 if you’re a group of six or more riders, we can organise a private tour built around your dates, destination, and preferred pace. Same full service, arranged exclusively for your group. Get in touch and tell us what you have in mind.

Not included, but strongly recommended. At minimum: cover for medical evacuation, cancellation, and personal belongings including your bike.

Gravel Adventure is a member of the Danish Travel Guarantee Fund (Rejsegarantifonden, member no. 2879), which provides statutory protection for package travel purchases.

Most riders fly with their bike. Airlines generally accept bikes as sports baggage with an extra fee \u2014 check your airline’s policy. A proper bike travel case gives the best protection. Bike rental is available at some destinations \u2014 ask us when you enquire.

Yes \u2014 luggage transport between hotels is included on all tours. We ask that you limit yourself to one bag of around 15\u201320 kg. You need riding kit, a few evenings’ worth of clothes, and your personal items. Packing light makes the whole operation smoother and the riding more enjoyable.

Typically 3\u20134 star hotels or equivalent \u2014 comfortable, with private rooms, and what you need after a long day in the saddle. We choose hotels that suit cycling travellers: secure bike storage, early breakfasts where needed, and proximity to the day’s route end. We check every property ourselves before it goes on the programme.

Gravel Adventure is run by Tanya and Michael Sommer \u2014 the same family behind MTB-Adventure.dk. We started it in 2022 after many years of running guided mountain bike tours, when we could see a growing number of riders who wanted gravel distances, mixed surfaces, and a slightly different kind of independence. We’re a small operation \u2014 by design.

Yes. Gravel Adventure operates under MTB-Adventure Aps (CVR 39040751), a registered member of the Danish Travel Guarantee Fund (Rejsegarantifonden), member number 2879. This provides statutory protection for your booking under Danish and EU package travel regulations.

Yes \u2014 our guides ride with you. They’re cyclists first, and they know the routes they guide. Each route has been ridden by our crew multiple times before it goes on the calendar. The support vehicle is separate. Having a guide on a bike with you makes a real difference \u2014 they can read how the group is doing and respond in real time.
