Situated in France, near the Swiss and German border, Basel Mulhouse Airport is operated jointly by France and Switzerland, and serves three cities in three countries; Mulhouse, Basel and Freiburg. It is the gateway to the Massif des Vosges, the Black Forest and the Jura Mountains, as well a wealth of cultural and historical sites.
France, Switzerland and Germany can all be accessed by road from the airport, with travelling by motorhome a great way to do this. Not only will a rental RV transport you to the surrounding cities, but it is a comfortable way to tour the mountains, countryside and vineyards of the region thanks to the abundant campervan facilities in the region.
