Gita in bici di un giorno da Basilea a Colmar

Get ready for a beautiful cross-border ride from Basel to Colmar! Starting in the vibrant Swiss city of Basel—with its world-class museums and buzzing old town—you’ll head north into France through dreamy Alsace countryside. The route is just under 92 km and mostly flat, making it perfect for a steady cruise without any serious climbs (there’s less than 50 meters of ascent).

You’ll roll through a patchwork of river trails, quiet roads, and the occasional gravel section, giving you plenty of scenic variety. Nearly half the ride is on dedicated cycleways, so it’s comfortable and relaxing. Don't forget to take in the rural charm of picturesque villages and vineyards along the way—Alsace is famous for its wine!

Your destination, Colmar, is pure fairy tale with its half-timbered houses and canal-side cafés. Reward yourself with a tarte flambée or local wine at one of the cozy spots in the city’s “Little Venice” district. This is a great ride for soaking up culture, scenery, and a bit of that border-hopping adventure!
