National routes

There is no better way to experience Switzerland’s fascination than by biking through the Alps. Over numerous passes, always through new valleys. A route that is extremely challenging in terms of technique and fitness but also incredibly fascinating. More


 

The Panorama Bike route between the Bodensee and Lac Léman leads through Switzerland’s best-known Alpine foothill landscapes. It not only offers continual impressive Alpine panoramas but also countless spectacular views of many lakes. More


 

The predominantly forested Jura heights stretch from Basel to Lac Léman. In between lies a bewitchingly varied landscape with remote valleys, lush meadows, rushing rivers, small lakes and countless biking routes. More


Regional routes

Varied bike tour before the gates of Zurich, proving how quickly rural life begins past the edge of the large city. The tiny monastery town of Einsiedeln makes an impressive finishing point and a great contrast to Zurich’s busy city life. More


 

A scenic and cultural tour under the spell of the Walensee and the impressive Churfirsten peaks. The second part of the route is marked by bold castles and beautiful vineyards. The tour is an excellent choice for spring or autumn. More


 

The Hörnli-Bike route through the Zürcher Oberland and Toggenburg leads through one of the loveliest pre-Alpine regions in Switzerland. It’s hard to believe that the big city is so close. Particularly attractive in times of autumn fog. More


 

A range of 4000m peaks with their unmistakeable silhouettes; glaciers glistening in the sun; sun-kissed Valais villages. Typical features of the Valais Alpine Bike. No other route gets so close to stunning 4000m summits. More


 

When long-distance views are good, the Chasseral-Weissenstein route is one of Switzerland’s most impressive. The tour travels along the southernmost chain of the Jura with views over the entire Mittelland as far as the snow-covered Alps. More


 

In the saddle right across the whole Principality of Lichtenstein, with two spectacular mountain prizes: the Rheintal Bike route gives you exceptional views into the Rhine Valleyl between Buchs and Sargans. More


 

Uphill in Toggenburg, downhill to the Rhine and then into the hills of Appenzell: the Wildmannli Route is technically easy but pretty hard on the legs. Efforts are rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views. More


 

The Neuchâtel-Bike route is a wonderful circuit through Neuchâtel Jura, with natural scenic attractions including the «Creux du Van» and the «Saut du Doubs». The tour combines first-rate bike trails with a lonely and unforgettable landscape. More


 

An impressive conquest of the main chain of the Alps from Andermatt to Biasca in the Ticino. The Gottardo-Bike route holds the world-famous Gotthardpass, the lonely Piora high plain and the largely unknown Val Blenio. More


 

One of the Ticino’s loveliest single trails as a high-level route around Val Colla, above Lugano. Rather technical on cuts in the slope and gravelled descents but offering biking thrills to mountain bikers of all abilities, as well as spectacular views. More


 

Die «Alpes de la Région du Léman Bike» route is a mountain-bike tour through picture-postcard Switzerland: charming wooden chalets, lush meadows with grazing cows, high mountains, commanding glaciers and crystal-clear lakes alternating with lonely forests. More


 

Between Bern and Luzern lies the lovely rolling landscape of the Emmental, as if made for mountain biking tours. The high point is the Napf with unforgettable panoramic views. More


 

A bike tour from Sion to Visp full of fascinating contrast. From vineyards on mountain slopes to ski regions, from huge tourist centres to tiny, tranquil mountain villages. And in between, picture-book alps, cool mountain streams and superb trails. More
