Access-i assesses the accessibility of cycle routes in Wallonia !

Wallonia and Brussels have an extensive and beautiful network of cycling routes. Since 2016, the Region has been gradually working to make these routes accessible to as many people as possible, so that everyone can enjoy the pleasures of cycling, regardless of their abilities.

Thanks to specific adaptations, people with disabilities, users of adapted bicycles (handbikes, tandems, etc.), older people, families, and cyclists looking for a comfortable and safe route can choose an itinerary that meets their needs.

By combining high-quality surfaces, easier access, adapted services and routes protected from traffic, these circuits help make cycling tourism more inclusive and allow everyone to discover the natural heritage independently.

Did you know that this project is UNIQUE IN THE WORLD?

In 2020, the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) launched a call for applications to compile good practices in accessible tourism at international level in a publication. The application submitted by Tourisme Wallonie, in connection with the Access-i certification of cycling routes, was selected. A wonderful recognition indeed!
