Gravel in the Ain

Half road, half trail, 100% freedom. Gravel biking in the Ain region means riding to breathe, stopping for no reason, getting lost without apology. The journey begins with the first pedal stroke.

Ride for adventure

Somewhere between a road bike and a mountain bike, Gravel is making its way… off the beaten track. In the Ain region, this sport finds an ideal playground: rolling paths, forest tracks, quiet country roads. No complicated techniques, just the pleasure of escaping, contemplating and traveling in a different way. The Gravel seduces with its freedom: the freedom to stop and admire a viewpoint, chat with a local or taste a local cheese. Here, the focus is not on performance, but on the story you’re about to tell on two wheels. It’s a gentle way to discover an unspoilt region, at your own pace.

Gravel routes to go at your own pace

In the Ain, every bend in the road can become a happy detour. Whether you fancy an easy loop between ponds and small villages, or a more challenging route through forests and ridges, our selection of Gravel itineraries will suit all tastes. Trails to explore, escape, breathe and rediscover the simple pleasure of riding freely, far from the main roads.
