Eurotrek

A classic one in the cycling country Switzerland: along the Aare you can get to know a piece of Switzerland that has preserved the charm of its province, its peasantry and its unspoilt nature right up to the present day: Visit our country and its inhabitants "through the back door" – not through the front entrance with all the tourist stereotypes.

Challenging climbs and thrilling descents and single trails. A bike trip in Switzerland cannot get any better than riding in the Fribourg Alps. You start the tour at Lake Thun, with the ascent through the Gantrisch region being a real challenge for the legs.

You will be rewarded for your efforts by the sparkling Schwarzsee and beautiful trails. Enjoyment in Charmey, fresh mountain air in Les Paccots and finally a walk along the lake promenade in Montreux are the crowning moments of the panorama bike on the last kilometres.  

Good physical condition is essential for the ascents in the Gantrisch area. The first stage is also technically more difficult. After that it will be easier and occasional trails will bring variety.

Impressive stone dams, breath-taking rides through passes and idyllic Walser villages – surrounded by the most beautiful and highest mountain peaks of the Swiss Alps, biking dreams come true in Wallis. Starting from Leuk, discover the Pfyn-Finges nature park and the wonderful Moosalp.

The tour continues into the Goms, high up to sparkling dam lakes and alpine worlds of rock and ice. The ride over the Alpine passes is one of the most beautiful racing bike tours in Switzerland. One highlight follows another in Valais

A unique scenery awaits you in Valais. Surrounded by the most beautiful and highest peaks of the Swiss Alps, you will visit some of the most famous valleys and passes of Switzerland.

You ride on asphalted roads throughout your journey. Some traffic must be taken into account near town and city centres. The ride over the Alpine passes on the fifth day poses a significant challenge in terms of fitness. 

You will have to look around hard to find another classic cycle path that is as popular as Lake Constance. Three countries participate in the large lake in the heart of Europe. Austria, Germany and Switzerland add a special flair to the lake. This unique symbiosis of various cultures contributed a number of precious treasures of art. To mention only a few of them: Cultural heritage Island Reichenau, baroque style pilgrims church Birnau or the historic old town of Stein on Rhine. Add the marvellous countryside along the lake and a cycle path winding the way through idyllic meadows, along glittering water and in front of the stunning peaks of the Alps.

The first stages are a little bit hilly. Lake Constance cycle path runs along the edge of the lake, mostly flat and without traffic. Sometimes minor roads are used, allowing beautiful scenic views. Appropriate for families.

If you want to travel quickly from Olten to Geneva, travel through the midlands. If you have time, choose the route along the Jura South Foot. Beautiful old towns lie along the wide arc of the Jura through Switzerland, and castles and palaces watch over the wide countryside occasionally. From Olten you roll through the hilly foothills of the Jura onto the land of the Three Lakes with a view of the Aare.

Carrot fields, farmland and vineyards dominate the picture here, before the snow-covered peaks of the Mont Blanc massif come into view from Yverdon-les-Bains. The small villages along the way, not far from the big metropolis, seem to be from another time and inspire dreams. The clocks really do tick a bit slower along the Jura South Foot, but who cares if you're not in a hurry?

Actually, an easy tour, but the foothills of the Jura do have occasional climbs. Some traffic around the cities of Biel, Neuchâtel and Geneva, but otherwise an extremely scenic route on little used roads.

The jagged peaks of Les Diablerets that tower majestically over the Vaud Alps are also known as "devil horns". On the way to this summit, you feel a moment of heaven on Lake Geneva. Grapevines flatter the eye and castles rise majestically along the way. You could feel like cursing devilishly on the way to the Col de la Croix, but the idyllic landscape compensates for the sweat demanded by the climb up into the Vaud Alps.

The next paradise awaits you after the devilish pass. The ride through the green hills of the Saanenland and the balloons that float almost daily over Château-d'Oex will inspire you to dream. Not purgatory, but the occasional muffled bang of a cannon awaits you afterwards at Lac de l'Hongrin. Heaven and hell lie close together in the Vaud Alps and both are devilishly beautiful.

The ride over the Col de la Croix is spectacular, but it also requires good physical condition. The last stretch to Lac de l'Hongrin is also difficult to ride. The natural roads and especially the "Les Agites" tunnel are for experienced cyclists.

The Alpine Panorama Route crosses the northern Alpine foreland with its many passes and gorges, tradition-rich culture, settlements and mountain farms. The strenuous, stamina-testing trip is rewarded with spectacular views.

This is the «King of all routes» in Veloland Switzerland! Passing between Lake Constance and Lake Geneva, the Alpine Panorama Route rises up to 2'000 meters above sea level and crosses several major and minor mountain passes. Hard to conquer, sensational in terms of the view! Road bikes can be used here, since this is the only signposted cycle route in Switzerland wit 100% tarseal roads. 

Fribourg is a «crazy» region, a topsy-turvy world. Chilly mountains in the south and warm lakes in the north. Furthermore two languages and three different holiday destinations within smallest space.

Heidi-feeling and modernity mixes at the foothills of the alps. For example in Gruyerès, where a medieval castle complex meets a futuristic museum of the Alien creator H.R. Giger or in Broc, where the Cailler chocolate factory with it´s widespreading smell is located. A must-see for every chocolate enthusiast.  

The round trip through the Fribourgerland stretches from the flat three-lake-land into the alps foothills of Gruyères. But the waters of the Schiffenensee (Lake Schiffenen) and Greyerzersee (Lake Gruyère) ensure that the cycle stages are mostly flat and easy-going, so you can enjoy the tour without greater effort.

The bike marathon around the Swiss National Park is probably one of the most spectacular events in Switzerland. Athletes from all over the world spare no effort and cycle up to 140 kilometres in a few hours. The professionals have little time for the beautiful scenery, but they do go a little slower.

You will get to know the famous bike course over several days on your tour around the national park. You roll through small hamlets, visit the Münster Valley, make a detour to the shopping paradise of Livigno and finally return to the Lower Engadine. You too can feel like a champion in Scuol at the end of your journey. Unlike the professionals, you will have gained some more impressions and will roll over the finish line with a smile. 

Steep ascents and singletrails alternate with easy passages through the Lower Engadine villages. Especially for the second day a good condition is required. Experience in biking is also required for the singletrails.

The Rhone-Route connects – between Brig and Geneva – two completely different types of landscapes: In Brig, the Rhone valley widens. Nowhere in Switzerland is there more sunshine than here in the Wallis. Another change of scenery in Villeneuve.

The wide, light flooded area of the Lake of Geneva on one side, the wine hills with sounding names on the other side of the route accompany the cyclist on his way towards the goal of the route – Geneva. The Rhone-Route offers scenic and cultural variety and the flat route profile makes it perfectly manageable for casual cyclists as well. 

From Brig, the Rhone-Route leads through flat areas and is suitable for leisure cyclists. From Sion you will have to face some headwind. A highlight is the tour through the vineyards of Lavaux. In the urban sections you will have to face some traffic and busy roads.
