Description

Day 1: Freiburg
Individual arrival in Freiburg and hotel check-in. Dedicate some time to explore this wonderful city. Let yourself be charmed by Freiburg, visit its gothic cathedral, stroll among the small streets and canals, or watch the sunset from the top of Schlossberg over the city rooftops and enjoy a splendid panorama of the Vosges mountains.

Day 2: Freiburg – Colmar (60 km)
Today you will follow the Breisgau-Radweg cycle path. You will head towards the town of Breisach, situated on the banks of the Rhine. Here you can visit the magnificent St. Stephen's cathedral, its charming city centre and its picturesque alleyways. Later you will arrive at Neuf-Brisach, a small French town mainly known for its octagonal fortification designed by Vauban, deemed a UNESCO world heritage in 2008. Continue biking to reach Colmar, today's final destination, where you can indulge in a thorough visit of this enchanting city, the Alsatian city of art. We recommend taking a walk in its historical centre and visiting Musée d’Unterlinden hosting the famous Issenheim Altarpiece, a masterpiece of western art.

Day 3: Colmar – Guebwiller (35 or 45 km)
From Colmar, follow the French Wine Route, biking through Alsace. Dreamy winemaking villages, with typical Alsatian timber-frame houses and magnificent medieval city centres, nestled in charming vineyards, are perfect for relaxing and unwinding. You will reach Guebwiller, a winemaking village at the foot of the Grand Ballon. As you continue to pedal, you will encounter the Murbach Abbey, a famous Benedictine monastery in the Vosges.

Day 4: Guebwiller – Mulhouse (35 or 50 km)
From Guebwiller, ride towards Ungersheim, up to the Alsace Ecomuseum. From there, the cycle path will lead you straight to Mulhouse. The city offers a museum with the largest car collection in the world, the Cité du Train, one of the main railway museums in Europe, and also the Electropolis Museum, which will charm everyone, not only enthusiasts.

Day 5: Mulhouse – Basel (55 km)
A cycle path will lead you along the Rhône-Rhine Canal on EuroVelo 6, up to Illfurth. Then you will pass through small Alsace villages, in the Sundgau area, up to Basel. The large Market Square, its sandstone town hall richly decorated and the late roman and gothic style cathedral are the historical symbols of the city. With about 40 museums, it’s the city with the highest museum density in the country, famous worldwide.

Day 6: Basel – Müllheim (45 km)
The Rhine is ideal for cycling and you will discover it today. The destination is Müllheim, in the Markgräflerland region.

Day 7: Müllheim – Freiburg (35 km)

🙋 Frequently asked questions

Can I bring my own bike?
Of course! You can participate in any tour with your own bicycle or rent one. However, we recommend renting because not all spare parts are the same, and only with our bikes can we guarantee the best mechanical assistance.
What kind of assistance will I have during the trip?
You will always have an emergency phone number to refer to. In self-guided trips, you should be able to perform minor repairs, like replacing a tube in case of a puncture, or fixing a dropped chain, but you can always count on local assistance for more serious breakdowns.
How do I know if a tour is within my capabilities?
We classify tours on a scale from 1 to 5 based on length, elevation, and complexity of the itinerary, but if you have doubts, contact us and we will help you find the most suitable journey for you.
What is the cost of renting bicycles?
The rental cost varies depending on the bicycle model and the duration of the tour. For some tours, we offer the possibility to rent different types of bicycles. During the purchase process for each route, you will be asked to indicate your preferred bike type and the corresponding price will be shown, so you can choose freely and without surprises.
Are rented bikes equipped with accessories like lights or bags?
Yes, rented bicycles are equipped with all necessary accessories to comply with road traffic regulations (lights, bell, etc.). A lock, repair kit, and a bag to carry everything you need for a day in the saddle are always included in the rental. Additionally, we offer the option to request extra accessories based on your needs.
