See Europe from your own scooter with a new offering from Freewheel Holidays. The company now offers self-guided, multiday itineraries around Lake Constance, the scenic region where Switzerland, Germany and Austria meet. This lakeside destination is ideal for outdoor activities, regional cuisine and cultural discoveries. The route begins in Zurich and finishes in Konstanz, with a variety of towns and landscapes along the way.
“This tour marks the first time that SwiftyZERO, non-motorized kick scooters, have been used as the backbone of an organized vacation tour,” said Steven Rittey, a spokesperson for Freewheel Holidays. The Lake Constance circuit is already popular with cyclists thanks to mostly easy, traffic-free paths surfaced with asphalt, and it translates well to scooters.
Scootering provides a solid physical workout while remaining accessible and often less intrusive in crowded areas than bicycles. Because the scooters used on these itineraries are non-motorized, they also align with sustainable travel principles and represent an environmentally responsible way to explore the region.
On average, travelers cover 10–25 scooter miles per day, typically moving at around 12 mph. Some legs of the journey are completed by boat, adding variety to the route and allowing riders to rest while still taking in the scenery. Along the way, guests visit lakeside villages, historic castles, Bavarian towns, islands and other highlights that showcase the area’s natural beauty and cultural heritage.
Packages start at $642 and are available through October. The price includes use of a scooter, luggage transfer between hotels, route guidance, breakfasts, nightly accommodations and select sightseeing fees. These self-guided tours are designed for independent travelers who want a structured itinerary with logistical support, combining active travel with comfortable overnight stays.
Riders benefit from clearly marked paths and the popular cycling infrastructure that circles Lake Constance, making navigation straightforward for those new to scootering or to the region. The combination of short daily distances, frequent stops and optional boat segments makes the route suitable for a wide range of fitness levels and travel preferences.
Each day brings different scenery—from open shoreline and gentle promenades to quiet villages and historic landmarks—allowing travelers to set their own pace while still enjoying a curated sequence of destinations. Local cuisine and cultural attractions along the way provide ample opportunities for breaks, photography and immersion in regional traditions.
Freewheel Holidays handles practical details such as lodging and baggage transfer so guests can focus on exploring. Route assistance and included sightseeing fees help ensure a smooth experience, whether riders want relaxed days of scenic scootering or a more active itinerary that covers longer distances.
This scooter-based tour offers a fresh way to experience one of Central Europe’s most attractive lake regions, combining low-impact transportation with the flexibility of a self-guided vacation and the convenience of managed logistics.
