much more than just a gravel event
Woods that smell of resin.
Open meadows where the greenery knows no bounds.
Peaks that remain snow-capped even in summer, up there.
You pedal in silence, broken only by the sound of the streams and your slowing breathing.
The air is fresh, clean, and authentic.
Time slows down here.
And you understand why you came all the way up here.
Morning social ride to warm up and explore the area.
An early afternoon dedicated to relaxing in nature or discovering various outdoor experiences, such as rafting on the Noce River, panoramic walks or tasting typical products in mountain huts.
From 5:00 PM, welcome aperitif with a talk, sponsor village, and event package delivery.
Prize drawing (GPS, shoes, tickets, clothing, and much more).
Dinner together for those who want to continue the evening in company.
Last-minute event package delivery.
Group start with two routes: long and short.
Refreshments along the route.
Final refreshment stop in Mezzana with showers and lots of fun.
If this is your first time, you'll find a short route to explore the area without rushing. If you cover a lot of miles, the long route offers more elevation gain and more views.
MTB and e-MTB are welcome: the important thing is the desire to share the road.
Here, no one is left behind, and the best part is reaching the finish line with a smile.
Each route has been designed together with local cyclists to offer you the best of the area: authentic white roads, panoramic sections, smooth riding, and pure fun.
No MTB-specific segments, no unnecessary asphalt, just real gravel.
A vacation that tastes of freedom
The Mezzana Sports Hall is our meeting point: check-in, sponsor village, and departure.
Here you'll find everything a cyclist needs: nearby are bike hotels, rental shops, repair shops, and the bike path along the Noce River.
Everything is within pedal distance.
For us, the word gravel holds its true meaning.
We have created authentically gravel routes, designed for you to enjoy every pedal stroke on your bicycle, without compromise.
No MTB-specific segments, no kilometers of monotonous asphalt.
Every itinerary is the result of on-the-ground work with local cyclists to discover the most beautiful dirt roads, panoramic sections, and smoothest stretches.
With Unpaved Roads you will receive all the information to discover more:
- extra rides recommended for the days before and/or after the event,
- secret gravel itineraries suggested by local riders
- places to visit, restaurants, and villages where you can stop.
Whether you want to arrive a day earlier or stay a few extra days, we will help you turn the event into a real gravel vacation.
No rankings, no chips.
Only discovery, sharing, and fun: lift your head, breathe, look at the horizon.
If you're looking for a "podium," this isn't the right event; if you're looking for a weekend of freedom on gravel, you're in the right place.
At Unpaved Roads, you are part of a real community of people who share a passion for cycling, nature, and discovery.
Here, friendships are born spontaneously, right at check-in or at the first toast during the welcome aperitif. It only takes a few minutes to find yourself talking about routes, bikes, and travel dreams with someone you didn't know yesterday.
Along the route, people encourage one another, wait for one another, and laugh together. It is precisely this authentic connection that makes every Unpaved Roads event unique.
Calendario Eventi Gravel 2026
Punta Ala opens the season on the Tuscan coast: pines, flowing trails, the scent of salt air, and that vacation feeling that starts as soon as you step out of the car. It is the perfect entry point for anyone who wants to fall in love with gravel riding while gazing at the horizon.
Val di Sole takes you to the foot of the Dolomites: climb slowly, lift your head, and the mountains come toward you. Here, the air smells of the forest, and the forestry roads are perfect for those seeking silence, sudden panoramic views, and that feeling of freedom that only the mountains can give.
Foreste Casentinesi closes the season inside a green that seems never to end: beech woods, silence, spirituality. It is our "grand finale"—an embrace of nature that restores energy with every pedal stroke.
We are among the founders of the Bike Adventure Series, the first European no-race bikepacking event series.
Our events are listed among the best in the world, alongside Tuscany Trail, North Cape 4000, Final Frontier Patagonia, and The Grand Escape.
