The Route
Signposted La Francovélosuisse (v64) along the whole route.
Connection with EuroVelo 6, near Bourogne on the section of the Rhone-Rhine Canal.
Link to the Alsace balloon
Recently, it has become possible to cross the Territoire de Belfort from North to South thanks to the new North Territory cycle path. This 7.7 kilometre long cycle path stretches from the Malsaucy peninsula, the famous site of the Eurockéennes, to Giromagny at the foot of the Ballon d'Alsace. Most of the route is on its own site, with a total difference in height of 60 metres.
The North Territory link allows you to cross the Territoire de Belfort by bike from North to South. It completes the François Mitterrand Promenade which links Belfort to the Malsaucy peninsula (7 km) and the Francovélosuisse which goes from Belfort to Porrentruy (Switzerland) via Delle in the South of the Territory (40 km).
