The Rhine Source to Sea

Open to cyclists of all capabilities, the Rhine cycle route runs along one of the largest rivers in Europe. From the Swiss Alps to the North Sea, the Rhine has fostered cultural and economic dialogue between the Alpine arc and Northern Europe for over 2000 years. Explore the beauty of this river landscape and the picturesque towns and villages lining its banks, a number of which are listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Based on the Eurovélo 15 cycle route but with a few tweaks to ensure you see all there is to see along the way.

We collect you from Zurich airport for the transfer to Hospental, near Andermatt, high in the Swiss Alps, the source of the Rhine. Our route, which is vaguely downhill all the way, initially arcs round to Lake Constance and on to Basel before heading north through Strasbourg. Passing west of Frankfurt we continue through Bonn and Dusseldorf to Arnhem, then west to the Hook of Holland. After a night’s rest we offer a transfer to Rotterdam for those wishing to fly home or join the support crew/vehicle who will take the ferry to Harwich where trains into London Liverpool Street can be found. There are convenient airport connections for the start and finish.

Average daily miles are around 65 but the cycling is generally easy and this trip is suitable for most cyclists.
