This cycle tour is graded easy. The grade is determined on the basis of the entire trip. Individual days may vary in terms of difficulty, i.e some rides may be slightly more difficult or easier than the overall grade. The route is marked throughout and we supply you with access to the GPX tracks via our Macs smartphone app, route notes and information pack. 

The Moselle Cycle Path is very suitable for beginner cyclists with a good fitness, withg distances ranging from 35km to 47km (22-30 miles), which is easily manageable if this is your first cycling holiday. It's perfect for those who wish to take it easy with plenty of time to explore en route; long lunches, museums, wineries and castles. Sometimes there will be an occasional longer day on almost flat terrain and you must be comfortable with riding on consecutive days.

Our Classic Moselle Cycle Path trip includes accommodation in standard ensuite double/twin rooms in small family-run guesthouses and hotels, with most of them having their own vineyards and wine tasting sessions. Each is carefully selected for their warmth of welcome and character. It's also possible to upgrade to 3-4* hotels. 

Twin room requests - in Germany most hotel rooms are double rooms (one large bed frame with separate mattresses and bedding). Twin rooms with separate beds are not common. If you require fully separate beds, it is recommended that you book 2 single rooms.

Accommodation Location

We work with a number of accommodations along the cycle path, so all distances are an approximation of the recommended routes. You may be accommodated up to 5km away in the surrounding area.

Single Rooms & Solo Cyclists

Single rooms are available although a supplement is payable. As this is a popular route it's ideal for solo cyclists. 

This tour is available to start on any day of the week from mid-April to mid-October. The price changes according to the season and during the summer months the trip is more expensive.

NOTE: If you are planning to travel between late August and early September, then we recommend that you book early due to various wine festivals in the area which can mean hotels are fully booked well in advance.
