In Canada, there are several routes that promise to help you rediscover the richness of our country. In Nova Scotia, drive through the heart of the wilderness and take in spectacular coastal scenery where iconic lighthouses and quaint villages dot the landscape. Prefer a river cruise? Experience the serene beauty along the St. Lawrence River as you travel from Morrisburg to Montreal, an easy route that combines history and idyllic views.
Food loverswill fall in love with the Véloroute Gourmande, a cycling tour along bike paths connecting Montreal and Sherbrooke that offers a getaway combining nature and local cuisine. For cyclists seeking a major cycling challenge, the impressive route from Montreal to St. John’sisan obvious choice, covering some 2,800 kilometers over 25 days. While the challenge is impressive, the rewards will be even greater, as this journey will take you from Quebec to the Atlantic provinces and finally to Newfoundland, with as many breathtaking views as there will be kilometers on the odometer by the end of the trip!
In Europe, our new destinations offered as guided tours combine charm, culture, and adventure. In Alsace, discover a women-only tour where immaculate bike paths, flower-filled villages, and vineyards provide an idyllic setting for a peaceful ride. The Loire Valley, with its majestic castles and sumptuous gardens, invites you to immerse yourself in history and the French art of living, with the added bonus of cycling mainly on quiet and safe bike paths.
The route of the Vélodyssée, connecting Rennes to La Rochelle, follows the Atlantic coast and reveals seascapes, charming ports, and towns full of character between the Pays de la Loire and Brittany, where seafood and fine cheeses await you as a reward. Finally, the Netherlands, following EuroVelo 12, takes you along the North Sea, where you’ll encounter dikes, windmills, and picturesque villages, for an accessible and unforgettable cycling experience in the country where the bicycle reigns supreme.
This version of our popular cycling tour in Alsace was designed by our team of travel advisors specifically for women! Do you dream of getting together with friends abroad for a cycling trip just for the girls? Here’s your perfect opportunity!
But be warned: Alsace is a real feast for the senses! Whether you’re talking about its countless valleys or its rich culinary tradition, this French region has everything to charm food lovers. Follow the classic Alsatian half-timbered houses on a two-week cycling tour where you’ll get to enjoy the region’s many local specialties.
Discover Colmar, the wine capital of Alsace, where Riesling and Gewürztraminer flow freely; Munster and its delicious cheese with its unique aroma; or the Kreuzweg and Charbonnière mountain passes, where you can burn off yesterday’s calories.
You’ll end your trip in Strasbourg, France’s cycling capital, which describes itself as a “bike-friendly” city thanks to its 600 km of bike paths. Welcome to Alsace, where everything is delicious, everything is beautiful, and everything is accessible by bike!
