Olivier Heissler

Co-founder of Gravel Up, Olivier Heissler spent 13 years travelling the world with a major hotel group before his view of tourism evolved toward more authentic, local experiences. Through gravel riding and cycling adventures, he discovered a new form of performance that blends his two passions: exploring the world and surpassing oneself through sport. Today, he channels that ethos into designing and sharing routes that connect riders with real places and people.

Why we worked with GravelUp on this article

We have one overriding rule at Epic Road Rides: would we suggest this to our friends? This means we don’t work with every brand that wants to work with us. We may not have personally used or been on a trip with every brand we collaborate with, but after many years in the industry, our team knows a lot of people, and we only say yes to the brands we would be happy to use ourselves or that we’d share with a friend.
