By air

The most convenient airport for the start is Basle–Freiburg–Mulhouse, 6km north-west of Basle, which is served by direct flights from many UK and European airports. Airlines have different requirements regarding how cycles are presented and some, but not all, make a charge – this should be paid when booking, as it is usually greater at the airport. All airlines require tyres to be partially deflated, handlebars turned and pedals removed (loosen pedals beforehand to make them easier to remove at the airport). Most will accept your cycle in a transparent polythene bike-bag, although some insist on the use of a cardboard bike-box. These can be obtained from cycle shops, often for free. You do, however, have the problem of how you get the box to the airport!

FROM BASLE AIRPORT

From Basle–Freiburg–Mulhouse airport, it is a short (2km) ride to St-Louis-la-Chausée station, from which local trains run to Mulhouse. Leave the airport terminal building by the exit to France. Follow the service road ahead with car parks L. Pass under a road bridge and turn L at the first roundabout. Continue with car parks L and motorway R and go straight ahead at the next roundabout. Turn R and immediately R again (D12bis), crossing the motorway and entering St-Louis. Follow the road bearing R, pass under a railway bridge and turn immediately L (Rue de la Barrière) to reach the station entrance L.
