Cyclosportives in the Canton of Basel-Stadt

In the northwest corner of Switzerland, the canton of Basel-Stadt borders both France and Germany. At the Dreiländereck, a monument marks the point where the three countries meet in the middle of the Rhine. Around Basel, this crossroads offers a highly varied network of roads, from the Rhine plains to the passes of the Jura 🚴. Few cities let you ride in three countries before breakfast.

For a cyclosportive in the canton of Basel-Stadt, the Alsace plain serves as a warm-up ground, with its flat roads and flower-filled villages. To the east, the climbs of the Black Forest offer long, steady ascents, while the Basel Jura strings together short, punchy passes. From May to September, Sunday-morning groups roam across the three countries, ID card in pocket 🛂. The sometimes stubborn winds of the Sundgau also forge the character of riders.

Cycling is part of the Basel landscape, from the bike paths of Kleinbasel to the bridges over the Rhine 😄. For recovery, the market on the Marktplatz, at the foot of the red town hall, has plenty to recharge your batteries 🥨. Local cyclists gladly add a stop on a terrace along the banks of the Rhine, facing the facades of Grossbasel. Short route or big loop, a cyclosportive awaits you on the other side of the border!
