You will mainly ride on cycle paths, on minor agricultural tarred roads or on little secondary roads without much traffic. Three stages are a little bit hilly.

Welcome to Saint-Louis. Check-in at the hotel and time for free/ sightseeing. By tram line 3 you can reach the Barfüsserplatz in Basel centre in only 15 minutes or continue to Weil am Rhein on the German side. You can also visit three countries at the same time, all very conveniently with public transport and without having to travel long distances.

You can find our suggestions for the nicest bike tours in the surroundings below. It is up to you, which ones you choose and combine...or if you do something completely different.

Today you will leave Saint Louis through the three countries. First you cross the Rhine and cycle through Weil am Rhein with its Vitra Design Museum and Lörrach: the culture and shopping city in the border triangle, the city of voices and sculptures, the home of purple chocolate. After 35 km, arriving in Rheinfelden (Switzerland), discover the hidden gems that the old town has to offer. Enjoy a cruise on the Rhine (obligatory) to reach Basel again or continue by bike through Augst where you can visit the Roman city of Augusta Raurica.

This day starts with a train ride from Saint-Louis to Mulhouse. Getting into a culinary journey through the land of the "baked carp"! The bike path will take you along the Rhine-Rhône Canal on the Eurovélo 6 to Illfurth. Then you will cycle through small villages such as Carspach and Hirtzbach, in the quiet Sundgau region: a paradise for cyclists who want to explore this typical Alsacian region away from mass tourism and combine nature and cultural experience. Laundry facilities, typical Sundgau half-timbered houses, fountains, crosses, landmarks, Wilhelminian architecture that remind us about the old and turbulent history of Sundgau.

Water, water, and water again ... you cycle through two countries and along four different waters. In the nature reserve of the small Camargue, you can relax watching the waterfowl along the Rhine. You continue via two locks to Niffer and Ottmarsheim. From there you will find the abbey church of St. Peter and Paul, replica of the palatine chapel of Aachen. You continue on paved forest roads through the Hardt forest and along the channels "Rhône au Rhin" and "Huningue" to the marina to Kembs (crossing the canal). Continue along the canal until the first dam of the “Grand Canal d’Alsace” and on the Rhine Island back to Weil am Rhein and Saint-Louis.

Today you cycle from your hotel to Weil am Rhein train station. There you can buy your train tickets to go to Bad Bellingen or Müllheim. From Bad Bellingen you cycle through the idyllic winemakers Schliengen and Auggen, then to Müllheim. You cycle from Badenweiler and its Roman bath ruins to Bad Krozingen, again small wine villages will be next to you. In Bad Krozingen you can expect a lot of historic treasures, such as the Glöcklehof, Fridolins and Joseph Chapels, as well as the Bad Krozinger Castle. Then the route leads you back to Bad Bellingen along the Rhine. At the end of the bike tour, you can visit the spa museum in Bad Bellingen or take a refreshing dip in the healing "balinea thermal baths"! From Bad Bellingen you catch back the train (obligatory).

For centuries the people of Basel like to make their way into the Markgräferland, to eat, to drink or just to enjoy. By bike we choose the same way! From Saint-Louis, cross the Rhine and cycle to Haltingen. From there continue through well-kept villages and lively landscapes or with the Kandertalbahn to the pottery town Kandern. Continue through Efringen churches. Stop at the winery Markgräflerland, then continue on a very good dirt road, which is marked as a bike path. It goes back along the Rhine to Saint-Louis.

Individual departure or extension stay.
