Cycling in Luxembourg
Including Mullerthal Region (Little Switzerland). On the map.
The vibe
Pedalling the network of gentle country lanes feels like a leisurely glide through pastoral scenery rather than a high‑speed road race. The best weather comes from late spring to early fall when the routes are clear and the hills are mild. Riders mix with locals on their daily commutes and a few tourists, keeping the scene relaxed and unstructured.

Notes. Best from April to October. The terrain includes short, punchy climbs and mixed surfaces. E-bikes are widely available for hire.
