Cycling in Switzerland

Mountain passes, alpine meadows, lake trails and picturesque towns all come together to make cycling in Switzerland a seriously addictive pursuit. This landlocked nation more than makes the most of its tremendous landscape and if it’s world-class climbs with a backdrop of snow-capped mountains you’re after, this is the place to be. 

You’ll find cycle routes in Switzerland have something for everyone. Pancake-flat trails along Lake Constance’s shimmering shores are wonderful for families whilst pedaling around the heart-wrenchingly beautiful Lake Thun offers modest ascents, jaw-dropping suspension bridge valley-crossings and picture-perfect village stops. 

Enjoy day rides across rolling, green landscapes dotted with classic Swiss chalets. Whizz through incredible alpine valleys with mountains stretching upwards on either side and challenge yourself on some of the best climbs in Europe. Hearty food, panoramic views and panniers full of Swiss chocolate can all be relied upon in this magnificent country.
