On your bikes, get set, go: Vëlosummer is back with twelve routes that combine cycling paths and roads (parts of which will be blocked off for cyclists on weekends).

The trails add up to 500km, says the mobility ministry and general directorate for tourism in a press release. Look out for blue signposts.

A special feature of this fourth edition is that two routes will cross into Belgium and France, respectively. These are the “Schmugglertour,” planned for Ell and Attert; and the “Mam Kätti op Schengen,” which sends cyclists through the southeast of the country.

A loop linking the Sûre and Moselle valleys is another new feature, as is a route through the southwest of the country.

With routes ranging from 14km to 93km, the operation is aimed at both leisure cyclists and long-distance enthusiasts. The latter can also take advantage of the “Move, we carry” luggage transport service for €12 per bag.

This year, competitive cyclists can also check in via smartphone at various points of interest along the Vëlosummer routes. By doing so they can collect points to win prizes.

In 2022, some 29,000 cyclists took part in Vëlosummer, according to the mobility ministry and general directorate for tourism.
