Hi everyone…
Planning a group gravel trip for my club next Spring and wondered where you’d recommend for about 5 days of good gravel riding with super trails, epic scenery and of course a great base to enjoy the post ride beverage.
Thanks a million.

Depends on your definition of gravel riding.
Some places/regions that are known for great gravel riding:
- Finland
- Tuscany (I’ll be going on a gravel trip in October, staying at an Agriturismo in Asciano)
- Grenoble and/or the old military roads over the Alps
- Vías verdes tracks in Spain (more for bike packing though)
- Houffalize (Belgium)
A bit broad probably 
but might be a good starting point. I do feel like most of those places are semi-remote and/or not very lively. So Grenoble might be a good bet?
You can also find good gravel throughout Belgium (PlugPlug can give you some inspiration), you could choose a main city to stay and then take the train to explore other areas. Not really epic scenery though.
Thanks Laurens. By definition of gravel riding just great trails, definitely not technical. Not bike packing, ideally one location that allows us to create various loops and rides out. We are all experienced cyclists and happy to go out for long days. I’ve been to the Alps on my road bike to be able to go there on the gravel bike would be incredible. Fly to the Dolomites on Sunday, moving over to Bormio for the latter part and slightly tempted to rent a gravel bike to do the gravel route of the Stelvio. Will see.
Thank you for your steer and suggestions.
