About us

So who's behind Gravel Travel?
I'm Moritz — founder, cyclist, and your point of contact.

I've been living in Chile for almost 8 years, and we've been renting bikes in different locations for just as long.

In 2016, I embarked on a 6-month bike trip across Canada and later Chile (from Arica to Punta Arenas). That's when I fell in love with bikepacking and the slow, adventurous way of traveling.

Since then, I've completed several other trips across Europe and South America — reaching the North Cape from my hometown in Switzerland, a "short" ride to Barcelona, a tour of Great Britain with my childhood friends, and a coast-to-coast journey from Chile's Pacific to the Atlantic Ocean in Buenos Aires.

Last but not least, I've cycled the famous Carretera Austral a few times.

This isn't a big company — it's a small, passion-driven operation built on real bikepacking experience and a deep love for slow travel.

Whether you're heading out on your first overnighter or planning a major expedition, we've tested every piece of gear we rent.

Let's talk bikes. Let's talk Patagonia.
