Mountain Biking and Cyclo-Tourism

Mountain Biking in Total Freedom!

Mountain biking has become very popular with the creation of around 100 marked trails for all levels. Mountain Bike trails marked with the “Fédération Française de cyclisme” Emblem is printed in brown, and indicates a Natural Regional Park. But you can also choose to cycle along Park roads. Many itineraries follow cycling tracks for optimum safety and to facilitate Cyclo-Tourism and “VTC-Cyclo” hiking. To map out your route, in addition to enquiring with Departmental Cyclo-Tourism Committees (Haut-Rhin, Vosges, Haute-Saône) you can get information from Departmental Tourism Committees and Tourist Offices.

Cycle Touring in the Spotlight

Aficionados may also choose to cycle freely along the Park’s roads. Many cycle routes have been selected to guarantee your safety while facilitating cycle touring and hybrid-biking. Many emblematic mountain passes, favoured during cycle sports events, are specifically marked out. In addition to the cycle touring committees of Haut-Rhin, Vosges, and Haute-Saône, tourist offices and committees provide useful route-mapping information.
