Gravel races in the canton of Basel-Landschaft

Between the Rhine plain and the ridges of the Jura, the canton of Basel-Landschaft unfolds a landscape of hills, orchards and forests. Around Liestal and Muttenz, farm tracks link the villages across the fields, while the valleys of the Ergolz and the Birs run south 🌳. This dense network makes the canton a true maze of trails, where every junction opens onto a new variation.

For a gravel race in the canton of Basel-Landschaft, the Tabular Jura offers wide, fast-rolling forest tracks, perfect for letting loose. The ridge trails, more rugged, demand a good dose of bike handling on the stony sections 🪨. In the Laufental, the tracks follow the Birs at the bottom of wooded gorges. Spring and autumn remain the best seasons, when the trails dry out without becoming dusty. In winter, the lowland tracks often remain rideable, which is a good way to stay in shape all year round.

The Finishers gravel race calendar does not yet list any event in the canton. Further east, the Bodensee Radmarathon is one of the gravel events on Finishers, starting from Thal on September 11, 2027 🚵. In the Vaud Alps, UCI The Majestics brings enthusiasts together around Villars on July 9, 2027.

On the hill of Arlesheim, the baroque cathedral watches over the Hermitage, a romantic park dotted with caves and ponds 🏰. A perfect detour for a break between two trails. Whether it's a discovery ride or a long, challenging loop, gravel in Baselbiet is waiting for you 😉. Just remember to bring what you need to fix a puncture, as Jura flint is unforgiving.
