Linking Lakes and Cultures: Geneva to Interlaken

Yes, this means plenty of cheese(you’ll stop in Gruyères, home of the famed Gruyère cheese) and plenty of chocolate. Trust us, the Swiss have good taste (buds)! You’ll pedal through noted vineyards and famous cheese-producing villages, tour medieval castles and visit Gothic cathedrals, look up at towering mountain peaks and look down at shimmering alpine lakes, and lodge every night in top-rated towns bursting with beautiful views and delicious dining opportunities.

Start in Geneva, a multicultural jewel where you’ll overhear many languages aside from French. Your biking adventure commences alongside quaint vineyards and the stunning Lac Léman as you head to Lausanne. Next up is Gruyères, where you mustn’t leave without a bite of cheese — or a pot of fondue. Take in the endless beauty as you pass through Lavaux (a UNESCO World Heritage Site). When you really feel like your eyes can’t handle anymore, you’ll enter the medieval town of Fribourg. Conclude your trip with panoramic views of Lake Thun (Thoune in French), gently rolling hills in the Bernoise countryside, and a night in Interlaken, one of the world’s adventure capitals.
