2009–2012 · Constance, Lake Constance (DE)

Where it all began.

CycleSummit started in 2009 at Lake Constance as a meeting of cycling tour operators and their partners. The first editions took place in the four-country region around Constance – with talks, a marketplace for 1:1 meetings and evenings by the lake. In 2025 CycleSummit returned to where it all started.

The first CycleSummit
