Bike tours across Switzerland The Ultimate Adventure Holiday in Europe

No other week long bike tour can give you this much diversity, history and outdoor grandeur. Before anything else, Bike Switzerland.

Bike Switzerland is Switzerland’s premier bicycle tour company. Based in Geneva, Europe, our staff is made up of educators living here in Switzerland who are devoted to intercultural exchange and cycling. Given our Swiss background, our tours emphasize value, authenticity and luxury.

Our four itineraries will take cyclists on backroads to cross the entire country. We currently offer four different bicycle tours in Switzerland at three different levels: the Lite Crossing for moderate cycling, the Challenge Crossing for cyclists looking for longer days and more climbing and the Jura and Alpine tours which are road bike tours more suitable for serious cyclists.

These four itineraries can be experienced in different ways. Our guided bicycle tours offer cyclists memorable luxury accommodations in castles, monasteries, chalets and spa hotels. Guided tours allow guests to experience Swiss gourmet cuisine with catered picnics and award-winning restaurants. The guided program also offers riders a variety of experiences: wine-tasting, cheese making, breakfast on a farm, mountain hikes and village festivals. Our experienced guides know the country well and

through them our guests come to understand and appreciate the deep history and traditions that line our route. Our independent bicycle tour in Switzerland gives autonomous riders the same great accommodations, bike routes and also include daily baggage transfers, cell phones and GPS guidance. Bicycling Switzerland need not be too difficult or too expensive, and we’d like to get the word out.

…Whichever tour you choose, guests need not worry about bringing their bikes. Bike Switzerland partners with Trek Bicycles to outfit each of our riders with the perfect bicycle for exploring the Swiss backroads.

A melting pot of culture

Switzerland bike tours.

Get to know this country’s distinct culture and traditions through its national pastime known as “wandern.” Translated as “wandering,” it’s achieved by foot or by bike on an extensive network of well-marked and well-maintained routes and dedicated bike paths with scenic vistas and overlooks galore.

Find tours that suit your fitness levels and interests, from the looming Alps for cyclists looking for a challenge to the tame and seemingly tropical Lago Maggiore in the Ticino region to adventures through picturesque villages with wooden farmhouses and church steeples. Just remember: Cycling through the Alps is different from cycling over the Alps: many tours are not as difficult as you’d expect.

“The regional food, friendly people and amazing sights made this trip highly memorable. So many beautiful gardens, museums, monasteries, churches and castles!”

T he natural beauty of Switzerland is not taken for granted by the Swiss, and because of their respect for their nature, they have designed and maintained a very sophisticated system of hiking and cycling routes throughout the country.

Starting in the German-speaking cantons of Lucerne, on the shores of Lake Lucerne, we begin our journey across Switzerland, passing through many quaint Medieval town centers. We’ll pass through the cantons of Lucerne, Oberwald, Berner Oberland, and Bern as we continue through the valley and lake regions surrounded by Switzerland’s majestic “Alps”.

Our two night stay in the small but bustling capital city of Bern, still has many activities waiting for us. We’ll then continue on and get absorbed into the French-speaking cantons of Fribourg and Vaud and… voilá, begin speaking French. After an overnight in the Quaint castle village of Guyrères, famous for her cheese, we’ll head over the hills of Jorat, overlooking the entire Lake Léman (Lake Geneva) backdropped by the snowcapped Alps, and finish our journey with a spectacular descent through the beautiful Unesco protected wine terraces of Lavaux, straight down to the lively lakeside town of Morges.

The tour passes through eight of Switzerland’s 26 cantons and provides you with unmatched natural beauty, insight into the political and historical foundations, and an up close and authentic experience of Swiss contemporary culture. Because most of this tour is on bicycle paths or designated bike routes, we are not only utilizing, but also contributing to the sustainability of the Swiss philosophy of human-powered travel. We are excited to be guest/hosts in this beautiful country as ambassadors to help promote this way of life.

Useful information about your cycle tour in Switzerland

The swiss climate.

The climate in Switzerland is strongly influenced by the Alps, but also by the Atlantic. In winter in this country you can sometimes find arctic cold in the mountains, but the lowlands have a rather humid and mild climate. You don’t always find snow in the lowlands. From May onwards, the temperatures shoot up. Expect temperatures between 25 and 30 degrees in the summer months!

The Swiss cuisine

As different as the languages and weather is in Switzerland, you can of course also find different influences in Swiss cuisine. The absolute highlights and world-famous dishes certainly include the Rösti, the famous cheese fondue and of course the most popular New Year’s Eve dinner, raclette. Swiss cheese is popular all over the world, especially Emmentaler and Gruyère. But those with a sweet tooth will also get their money’s worth in Switzerland. Schweizer Schokoloade, also known as Schoggi, is a protected designation of origin.

Did you know...

• …that in Switzerland you are never more than 16 kilometres from a lake? Because Switzerland has more than 1500 lakes! Impressive, isn’t it?
• …that the average Swiss consumes more than 10kg of chocolate every year? No wonder, with chocolate you just can’t resist!
• …why is Switzerland abbreviated as CH? They are the first letters of the Latin name Confoederatio Helvetica.
• …that, strictly speaking, Switzerland does not have a head of state? The Swiss Federal President chairs the meetings of the Federal Council, which collectively performs the tasks of a President.

Bike Tours In Switzerland: Discover Its Beauty On Two Wheels

With around 12,000 kilometers of bike routes with signage, Switzerland is a cycler’s dream come true. Cruise past shimmering lakes, conquer mountain passes with unforgettable views, or stop to play at one of the country’s bike parks . The entire country is bike-friendly, and you can even transport your bike on the rear of a FlixBus, Postbus or aboard one of Switzerland’s trains. And the SBB offers convenient international bike tickets if you want to cross borders.

You can join bike tours that include sightseeing stops and places to sample Swiss cheese and chocolate or plan your own route. Check into a cozy country inn to rest or stay at one of many campgrounds.

Now that you know your options, let’s explore the best bike tours in Switzerland.

Table of Contents

Rhone Route

As the name suggests, the Rhone Route follows the Rhone River. It’s the first section of EuroVela 17 which stretches for about 1,050 kilometers all the way to the French Mediterranean coast . You’ll travel along serene paths amidst the stunning mountain scenery of the Valais and along the palm-lined promenade of silvery Lac Léman. Along the shores, you’ll coast through the charming towns of Vevey and Montreux, and then on to Lausanne, Lyon, and finally end in cosmopolitan Geneva .

You’ll experience changing scenery on the stretch between Oberman and Geneva. The landscape in Goms is alpine, going mostly downhill with an occasional rise. The Rhone Valley widens in Brig to become the sunniest area in Switzerland. Entering Villeneuve, you’ll have Lake Geneva on one side and rolling hills with lush vineyards on the other side.

If you want to keep going all the way to the lavender fields of Provence, continue on from Geneva.

North-South Route

The North-South Route is a classic transit route that passes through the scenic regions of the Jura and Central Switzerland across the Alps to the south. You’ll ride over gently rolling hills and pass through verdant valleys and steep gorges. It follows prominent traffic routes that allow you to visit several historically and culturally significant places of interest.

Also known as Switzerland’s National Cycle Route 3 , the North-South Route leads from Basel near the borders of Germany and France to Chiasso near the Italian border. After crossing the eastern foothills of the Jura, you’ll cross the Alps via the Gotthard Pass . The scenery changes from granite to trees to vineyards with views of Lake Lugano as you pass through the municipality of Morcote in the canton of Ticino .

If you choose the North-South Route, be aware that some stages can be challenging. However, the Swiss railway is never far away so you can shorten the journey with a train ride.

The Aare Route is one of the best-known cycle routes in Switzerland. You’ll begin your cycling journey along Lake Thun in Interlaken with the peaks of the Jungfrau, Eiger, and Mönch mountains in the distance. The route will take you through the historic Swiss capital city of Bern, a UNESCO World Heritage Site , and the location of the famous Toblerone chocolate factory.

Cycling along the Jura range, you’ll pass through ancient towns and come to the point where the Aare and Rhine Rivers converge and on to the Rhine Falls. You’ll experience a heart-stopping descent from the Grimselpass with views of the Aare Gorge and Lake Brienz and on to Interlaken . Passing by Lake Thun, the route lies at a more ground level along the Aare to Bern , Switzerland’s stately capital city.

Traffic, factories, warehouses, and towns are packed into the narrow strip of land at the foot of the Jura, but the peaceful Mittelland forests aren’t far away.

Lakes Route

The Lakes Route goes from Lake Geneva to Lake Lucerne and is so named because of the number of lakes the route touches along the way. This route is a popular one because it includes some of Switzerland’s most picturesque regions.

You’ll bike past crystal-clear lakes, sweeping valleys, and traditional villages like Montreux and the medieval town of Gruyères where you can stop and sample the cheese that made it famous, and then on to Gstaad and Interlaken with views of the Bernese Oberland range.

Traveling eastward, you’ll reach the Oberland town of Meiringen where you can hop on a train with your bike to the Brünig Pass that connects to Central Switzerland . You’ll pass through Lucerne and Rapperswil, known as the “town of roses” on Lake Zurich.

Rhine Route

The Rhine Route begins in Andermatt, a popular Swiss village for skiing holidays, and is a huge loop that follows the Rhine River from its source to the Rhine port at Basel. Included in this mountain excursion is the Romansh -speaking town of Surselva, the Rhaetian capital of Chur with its warm winds, and the Ruinaulta Gorge .

Also known as EuroVelo 15 , scenic wonders along the way include sparkling glaciated valleys, the majestic Lake Constance , ancient castles, and a landscape of orchards. The toughest part of the route is the ascent to the Oberalp Pass where you’ll climb to an altitude of 2,044 meters .

If you want to cycle beyond Switzerland’s borders, the route includes EuroVelo 6 beginning in Basel.

Mittelland Route

The Mittelland Route is Switzerland’s most popular multi-day cycling tour. It goes from the town of Romanshorn on Lake Constance to Lausanne on Lake Geneva. The route is peaceful and mostly away from motorized traffic. At an elevation of no more than 1,600 meters and with no overly-steep inclines, the route is favored by families and pleasure cyclists.

The route traverses picturesque valleys, peaceful towns and villages, and spacious plains, but it also passes through the urban region of Zurich. It follows the River Aare through the Three-Lakes region to Lake Biel and along Lake Neuchâtel to Yverdon-les-Bains .

You can take your bike on a boat between Neuchâtel and Portalban free of charge as well as the boat from Biel to Solothurn.

The Jura Route meanders through spacious rolling hills from Basel to Lake Geneva at Lyon. It’s an exceptional route through the alpine countryside and serene valleys with rushing streams and through fragrant fir forests away from the hustle and bustle of civilization. The plateau of Franches Montagnes is an especially picturesque area as you’ll be surrounded by meadows and grazing cows and horses.

You’ll cycle over several Jura passes into the hilly landscape of the Ajoie region and on to St.Ursanne, a captivating medieval town situated on the secluded Jura River.

The route from Hochrhein to Lake Geneva is fairly challenging but worth the impressive views. The hustle and bustle returns passing through the clockmaking metropolis of La Chaux-de-Fonds .

Herzroute translates to “Heart Route,” an appropriate name since it takes you through Switzerland’s alpine foothills with scenery that will win your heart. Behind every chain of hills, there is a unique valley to explore. Bike at your own pace and stop by the small towns, farmsteads, and hamlets for plenty of variety and heartwarming encounters with the local folk.

The Herzroute is a regional cycle route that lets you bike all through Switzerland in different stages. Officially designated as Cycle Route 99, it’s been compared to Route 66 in the United States except it was created for bikes instead of automobiles and motorcycles.

The route officially begins in Lausanne , divides into 13 stages , and ends in Romanshorn in Northeast Switzerland. One section passes through the canton of Zurich. This is an especially picturesque section beginning in the monastery village of Einsiedeln and passing along the secluded Sihlsee Lake . The route then passes over the legendary Devil’s Bridge and you will soon come to the Etzel Pass for a white-knuckle descent back down to Lake Zurich.

Alpine Panorama Route

The Alpine Panorama Route is a strenuous route that is 475 kilometers long with an ascent of 9200 m. It requires lots of stamina but is very rewarding with spectacular views. It crosses the northern foreland with numerous passes and gorges. Settlements and mountain farms in the area are rich in traditional Swiss culture.

You’ll be constantly up and down starting in the rolling Appenzell country, then heading through one flat stretch in the Linth Plain before the route takes you over the Klaussenpass.

The route starts in St. Margrethen near Lake Constance and can be reached by bike via the Rhine path of the Constance path. It can be cycled in eight stages each of which are between 56 and 80 kilometers long. The trip can be broken up by train or boat.

Graubünden Route

The Graubünden Route begins in Chur, Switzerland’s oldest city, and takes you over 152 kilometers of stunning Graubünden Alpine land, one of the most spectacular parts of Switzerland. It crosses over the narrow, winding Albula Pass to the Engadine Valley with jaw-dropping views of the surrounding mountains.

The next section of the route passes along the Inn River to the foot of the White mountain ranges near the Austrian border. Another section is 129 kilometers long and traverses the Hinterrhein through the Via Malla gorge going up the San Bernardino and down to Bellinzona .

Switzerland Bike Tours

Explore switzerland on the best guided cycling tours.

Though small in size, Switzerland figures largely in the minds of outdoor enthusiasts as a must-experience destination. With towering peaks, pristine lakes, four distinct languages, and a commitment to on-time transportation, Switzerland is at once relaxed and precise.

While the country’s origins date back to the Roman era, its true emergence as a nation began in the Middle Ages. The Swiss Confederation, formed in 1291, laid the groundwork for the modern Swiss state. Over the centuries, Switzerland navigated a delicate balance of neutrality, even as surrounding countries were engulfed in wars and conflicts. This neutrality allowed Switzerland to flourish economically and cultivate its unique cultural identity.

The country is divided into four distinct language regions: German, French, Italian, and Romansh. Each region boasts its own traditions, cuisine, and architecture that are best experienced by bicycle. Whether your tour begins in France, Germany, or Italy, you’ll delight in the opportunity to have your bicycle adventure include Switzerland.

8 best cycling routes in Switzerland (+ the 8 best climbs)

Cycling in Switzerland remains something of a mystery to those of us who have not yet visited this fabled cycling paradise.

We know Cancellara is Swiss, we know there are huge mountains and Swiss engineered roads, but where to start planning a trip? What are the best cycling routes in Switzerland?

Here we put that very question to Anthony Walker, a Brit who has called Verbier, in the Valais region of Switzerland, home since 2014. He and his partner run Kudos Cycling , specialising in road cycling trips from Verbier.

Switzerland’s best cycling routes

Since Anthony is based in the Valais, this is an intentionally Valais-centric view of the best Switzerland cycling routes (though we do venture into the neighbouring regions of Vaud, Uri, Ticino and Bern).

This south-western area of Switzerland is home to most of the country’s most famous passes and riding. The Valais focus also means you’ll get a great idea of the kind of cycling you can expect if you visit on a single centre stay.

Introduction to road cycling Switzerland’s Valais region

Cycling in Valais is one of the best kept secrets in cycling. The region has a stunning variety of cycling terrain available, from undulating vineyards to high alpine cols. There’s something for everyone.

You’ll find quieter roads compared to some of the better known European cycling locations; you can expect stunning views, beautiful lakes and challenging gradients.

The Valais region (or canton, as they’re known in Switzerland) boasts a rich heritage of cycling and is filled with iconic mountain passes. It hosts some of the most recognised sportives in the world including the Tour des Station or the Gran Fondo Valais depending on the distance, Haute Route Crans-Montana, the Alpen Brevet and the Gran Fondo Switzerland based in Villars, Vaud. It has truly become the home of Swiss cycling with its unique location bordering France and Italy, both of which are accessible in a single day.

What is the Valais like?

The region of Valais is a popular destination for winter skiing enthusiasts; you may be familiar with the famous resorts of Zermatt, Saas-Fee and Crans-Montana in the Valais region.

The valley floor sees the glacial melt water of the River Rhone flowing through the valley into Lake Geneva which creates the ideal growing conditions for the vineyards and orchards full of the famous apricot and pear trees. The region has its own microclimate and is the sunniest region in Switzerland which also makes it an amazing cycling destination.

With flat valley rides or steep climbs through vineyards, forests and open alpine meadows with cow bells ringing and snow capped peaks, it is a cycling paradise just for the variety of the terrain.

8 best cycling climbs in Switzerland

Switzerland isn’t that high on many cyclist’s must-visit lists, probably due to the fact the Tour de France and Giro d’Italia hog the limelight.

Switzerland’s climbs are less well known than others in Europe but that doesn’t mean they are less impressive; I always think they’re for the connoisseur cyclist, the one whose likely already visited the French Alps and Pyrenees and is now looking for new mountain passes to test themselves against.

That said, the region of Valais has seen the Tour de France visit on three occasions over the years and again in 2022. The Giro d’Italia uses the famous Swiss climbs, the Grand St Bernard in particular. In 2023, the Giro d’Italia makes a return to Valais, Switzerland. A huge day sees the riders cycle up through Verbier and Croix de Coeur (15km with a 1350m vertical gain) at an altitude over 2,000m. The stage finishes in the ski resort of Crans Montana further down the valley where riders have 22km of descent to recover.

The Tour de Suisse and Tour de Romandie also make annual visits. A good opportunity for pro teams to see who will be challenging for the Tour de France.

But the best cycling climbs in Switzerland are ones you haven’t heard of.

Within 50 kilometres of Verbier

1. barrage du mauvoison, valais region – 1,841m.

A local favourite. A dead-end road to the top of the dam, the route is the best of what cycling through Switzerland has to offer: snow-capped peaks, dramatic landscapes and quiet roads. Expect to see lots of nature on this route.

2. Emosson Dam, Valais region – 1,956m

The finish of the 2016 Tour du France. The names of local cycling legends and heroes can still be seen graffitied on the road. Incredible views of Mont Blanc all the way to the summit of this challenging route. The climb from the historic Roman town of Martigny was also meant to be part of the UCI World Road Cycling Championships in 2020, which was cancelled. This route below incorporates the climb.

3. Col du Sanetsch, Valais region – 2,242m

A dead-end road to the summit makes it a quieter road than some of the more well known French or Italian equivalents. It’s a stunning climb with 27km of ascent from the valley floor. Add in a cable car ride from the top down to Gstaad and this loop is a must (more info on the loop below ).

4. Col du Grand St Bernard, Valais region – 2,469m

The third highest paved road in Switzerland and steeped in history. The Col du Grand Saint Bernard is one of the highest cycling cols in the Alps at 2,469 metres (8,100 feet). It’s also one of the longest at 45kms from the Swiss side. It featured in the 2009 Tour de France and has been used by the Giro d’Italia.   This route below incorporates the climb.

Further afield

5. col de la croix, vaud region – 1,778m.

A beautiful climb that starts in the vineyards and climbs through small villages and the ski resort of Villars. A popular Tour du Romandie climb. Part of a number of great loop options in this region of Vaud. In 2022, Villars hosted a stage of the Tour de France. It is also the base for the Gran Fondo Switzerland.   This route below incorporates the climb.

6. Grimsel Pass, Valais/Bern border – 2,164m

The Grimsel Pass is a classic, high alpine cycling pass, one of many incredible climbs in this region of Switzerland. It featured in the 2007 Tour de Suisse as a mountain top finish at Stage 7, on June 22, 2007.

Starting in the town of Meiringen, famous for its connections with Sherlock Holmes, the climb to the summit is a steady 32km and 1,693m metres at an average of 5.8% of incredible wild scenery and rugged terrain. You can avoid the tunnels with small side roads cut into the rocks. At the summit, you’ll be greeted with high lakes and a nice restaurant for a coffee. To finish the climb off do the 7km descent to Gletsch in the Canton of Valais, for 6 incredible switchbacks.

This route below incorporates the climb.

7. Nufenen Pass, Valais/Ticino border – 2,478m

The second highest mountain pass road in Switzerland. A punishing and spectacular climb, part of the best 100km loop in Europe as voted for by Cycling Plus magazine. It’s a tough start before the road flattens off and the valley opens up revealing the snaking pass to the summit ahead of you.

8. Furka Pass, Valais/Uri border – 2,429m

The fourth highest paved mountain pass in Switzerland and the scene of the James Bond movie Goldfinger. It’s also the start of the River Rhone glacial meltwater. You will be surrounded by incredible scenery with gorgeous views of the impressive Grimsel Pass snaking its way to the top for the pass. A photo on the iconic corner with the famous closed Hotel Belvedere is a must. The climb is gradual and the road surface well maintained.

8 best cycling routes in Switzerland

Switzerland offers an incredible amount of variety for cyclists.

From a cycling tour of Switzerland using the well signposted cycling network, to staying in one location and exploring the local region, there is plenty of choice for all cycling abilities. However, if you want to explore Switzerland’s mountain passes, strong road cyclists will have the most fun; there’s a lot of climbing around here! That said, if you want/need a bit of extra gas, you can always consider hiring an e-bike to help you up the mountains.

1. Col de la Croix Loop

Col de la Croix is a stunning climb that isn’t too difficult but you are rewarded with amazing views at the top. Part of a couple of many great loops.

The Col de la Croix is a 22km climb starting from the valley to the top of the col at 1,778m with an altitude gain of 1,333m.

The ride is steady, the hardest part is climbing the steep sections out of the valley floor through the vineyards.

The road passes through charming villages where you can stop and grab a drink and enjoy the views. As you enter the ski resort of Villars, the road is quieter and more forgiving with sections of 1% where you can enjoy the breathtaking views. The descent to the ski resort Les Diablerets is a fast descent which continues to the valley floor.

This is an exhilarating up and down route.

How to ride it with Kudos Cycling

This route can be included in a 3 or 5-day Switzerland cycling tour for those whose fitness is of a good level. The sort of package we offer can be found  here , but the specific routes will depend on what climbs you want to do and in which region.

2. Emosson Dam

Following in the wheels of your Tour de France heroes, the road to the dam has two mountain passes to conquer, the Col de la Forclaz at 1,528m and the Col de la Gueulaz 1,956m.

A route with Tour de France history and for good reason!

The Emosson Dam was the finish of one of the stages of the 2016 Tour de France.

From the Roman town of Martigny, the route starts in the vineyards with two options, the classic gradual road following the Tour de France or the steep road earmarked for the 2020 UCI World Road Cycling Championships (that never happened due to Covid-19), towards the Col de la Forclaz.

There’s a short descent before a climb up the Col de la Gueulaz and the Emosson Dam, also famous for the dinosaur tracks imprinted into the rocks. The landscape becomes wild and the road is unrelenting to the top of the Col. From the top, views over Mont Blanc and the Aiguilles du Tour are breathtaking.

It’s back the same way to Martigny on the main Col du Forclaz road.

This route can be included in a 3 or 5-day Switzerland bike tour for those staying in Valais. It can be used on our Alpine Cycle Training packages or bespoke tours.

The sort of package we offer can be found here , but the specific routes will depend on what climbs you want to do and in which region.

3. Grosse Scheidegg loop

In my opinion, this is the greatest Alpine cycling climb; riding your bike in the Alps doesn’t get any better than this. Waterfalls, cows, lakes and snow capped mountains. This ride has them all.

The Jungfrau region is not a well known cycling destination, but it is home to the Grosse Scheidegg, the climb which ticks every cyclist’s wish list. Car free road apart from the iconic Swiss yellow Post Horn public bus, waterfalls, incredible views of snow capped mountains and glaciers dominated by the famous Eiger North Face, endless cows and a couple of coffee stops along the way.

It is also quite steep!

A long descent from the top through the ski resort of Grindelwald towards the shores of Interlaken and Brienz back to Meiringen and the home of Sherlock Holmes.

Part of a bespoke 3 day or 5 day Switzerland cycling holiday which would include some of the best Swiss climbs in the area.

4. Col du Grand St Bernard

This is an iconic cycle ride to the summit with the last 6-7km providing a tough challenge. It’s a high alpine pass where the altitude is as much of a challenge as the gradient. With so much attached history it should be on your must-do list.

High and long, the route only gets really tough for the last 7km where it ramps up to 8%. The last section is off the main road so you can enjoy the breathtaking scenery which is wild.

At the summit you roll into Italy for a proper Italian coffee or descend a bit further and visit a refugio.

Take some warm clothes for the descent and a rear light for the tunnels just to be on the safe side.

Staying in Verbier or Le Chable, this route is an ideal part of a family weekend package/cycling holiday in Switzerland.

5. Derborence

A beautiful ride through a natural paradise. A personal favourite.

A quiet dead end road to a naturally formed glacial lake along a road with a series of tunnels cut into the rock offers another incredible cycling experience.

An easy start along the valley floor through the vineyards and wine caves that make this region so special. The route ramps up but is short and steep before the incredible road through tunnels carved out of the rock. The valley opens up with an easy climb to the glacial lake of Lac de Derborence.

Part of a bespoke 3 day or 5 day bike tour of Switzerland which would include some of the best Swiss climbs in the area.

6. Nufenen Pass, San Gottardo and Furka Pass Loop

The best 100km loop in Europe. A stunning cycling loop that typifies cycling in Switzerland.

Starting from Ulrichen the climb starts immediately. The Nufenen Pass has a punishing average of 8.5% with a series of hairpins snaking up towards the summit. It is short and sharp, made harder with the altitude.

Prepare for all weather conditions!

The long descent towards Airolo and the incredible bucket list climb of the famous cobbles of the San Gottardo pass, a Swiss monument.

There’s a little time to relax before the Furka Pass, and a nod to James Bond Street, the filming location of the James Bond classic Goldfinger in 1964. A beautiful descent to the start is your reward for all the climbing.

You can ride this as part of the Gran Fondo San Gottardo sportive or a bespoke tour. This is the link to our San Gottardo trip . If you have any events planned that need serious altitude training, having a training camp based here would be ideal.

7. Col du Sanetsch loop

One of the finest and most demanding road cycling routes in Switzerland’s Valais. An incredible loop that has everything a cyclist would wish for.

Covering a total elevation gain of 2,450m, the Col du Sanetsch route is testing but beautiful.

Starting off in the valley floor through the vineyards, the road winds its way through the larch and spruce forests before opening up to the cow-filled alpine pastures. With cow bells tolling and sights and smells of forests and meadows, you won’t notice the road climbing up towards the Tsanfleuron glacier.

Your efforts are rewarded with incredible views of the Rhône valley and snow-capped peaks. From here the adventure starts with a small cable car down to Gsteig, a small village.

There’s then a short climb up the Col du Pillon at the cable car up to Glacier 3000.

Enjoy a long descent through the ski resort of Les Diablerets towards Aigle, home to the UCI headquarters. Then it’s along the valley floor back to the start. Depending on the direction of the wind, the train is also an option.

This route can be included in a 3 or 5-day cycling tour in Switzerland for those whose fitness is of a good level and can be part of a bespoke trip.

8. Furka Pass, Susten Pass and Grimsel Pass loop

Taking in the Furka Pass, Susten Pass and Grimsel Pass, the most impressive passes in Switzerland. Long climbs, high mountain passes, with incredible Swiss engineering that makes cycling in Switzerland so special.

An incredible Triple Crown of high mountain passes to challenge anyone. The route includes three of the best climbs that can be experienced in Switzerland.

The route can be used as a one day loop or over two days depending on the fitness of the group. It can also be part of other local climbs to create an incredible few days of climbing the best road cycling climbs Switzerland has to offer.

You can ride this as part of the Gran Fondo San Gottardo sportive or a bespoke tour. If you have any events planned that need serious altitude training, having a training camp based in this part of Switzerland would be ideal – and with so many other epic Swiss passes nearby it is a must do.

Other notable routes

Swiss national bike routes/eurovelo routes.

The Swiss National Routes are the national cycling route network of Switzerland. There are currently nine such long-distance cycling routes criss-crossing the Swiss nation and these were established mainly to promote biking in Switzerland and bicycle tourism.

Like Eurovelo routes, the cycle routes are signposted with red signposts and can be found on the My Switzerland website or the Swiss Mobility app .

National Bike Routes through the Valais region

The Rhone Route runs through the magnificent mountain scenery of the Valais on charming, quiet paths along the Rhone.

It leads along the famous palm-lined promenades of Lake Geneva and the picturesque Lavaux vineyards and ends at cosmopolitan Genève.

The first stage from Andermatt over the Furka Pass to Goms is a tough one.

That’s why leisure cyclists would be better advised to start in Oberwald and follow the Rhone through the sun-drenched high valley. The route then continues down towards Brig with its Stockalper Castle.

The Rhone brushes the Pfyn-Finges Nature Park, the wine-growing village of Salgesch, the castles of Sion and leads along Lake Geneva’s promenade of palm trees, past the vineyards in the UNESCO World Heritage Property of Lavaux until it ends in the cosmopolitan city of Geneva or continues as Euro Cycle Route 17 to the Mediterranean.

Tourist highlights

• Furka Pass/Belvédère, walk to the Rhone glacier and its source
• Brig, Stockalper Palace dating from the 17th century
• St. Maurice, the oldest monastery in the Abendland (1,500 years)
• Lavaux, the vineyard terraces of the UNESCO World Heritage Property
• Geneva, International Red Cross and Red Crescent Museum

Do you recommend the National Bike Routes?

The routes are well signed, there are often fantastic views and if you are looking for an adventure on your bicycle to explore Switzerland I would highly recommend these routes.

Some of the routes use natural surfaces so it is worth planning ahead and being aware of this to avoid any surprises! You can usually plan to avoid these sections.

Gravel cycling in Switzerland

Gravel biking is hugely popular at the moment and for very good reason.

If you are feeling adventurous and you would like to try some gravel rides on quiet gravel roads to incredible remote places, we offer a number of different packages based from Valais, Switzerland.

From point to point tours to staying in one location and experiencing local gravel routes make for more of a relaxing experience.

Practical information on cycling Switzerland

What are the best town(s) for single centre bases switzerland cycling holidays.

The “best” depends on what kind of experience you would like and if you are travelling with family.

The towns and villages of Valais have been influenced by the Romans with old Castles and ruins such as Martigny or Sion, the capital of the region of Valais. They are convenient to get to from Geneva Airport by road or by car with cycling routes in every direction.

The ski resorts of Verbier or Crans-Montana offer plenty of activities for non-cyclists and are fun destinations to stay.

Why do you love Switzerland?

Switzerland offers so much variety for activities during the year, and being an outdoor person, it suits me!

From skiing in the winter to hiking and biking in the summer. It was the winter sports that originally brought me to Switzerland but the summers that made me stay. The seasons are so pronounced it is an amazing place to call home.

What should we eat while in Switzerland?

The local regions each have their own food speciality and, as you can imagine, cheese and chocolate are high up on the list. Whether that is cheese fondue, raclette or rosti, you have definitely earned it after riding here!

How do you get to Switzerland?

Geneva or Zurich are the best airports. From here it is easy to hire a car or use the incredible bicycle friendly train network.

5 Magnificent Bike Tours in Switzerland

• Updated on: February 22, 2023

This article may contain affiliate.  For more information, please see our disclaimer  here.

Table of Contents

Switzerland is a dream for cyclists due to its unbelievable landscapes and top-notch bike infrastructure. The country has made tons of investments to ensure residents and visitors can easily get around on two wheels. When we ventured to Switzerland ourselves, we couldn’t believe the number of bike tours in Switzerland to choose from. 

From national to regional routes, there are endless opportunities for biking adventures in Switzerland. Whether you’re a novice or seasoned cyclist, Switzerland has biking routes suitable for any skill level. You can slowly coast beside crystal-clear lakes or trudge through a challenging mountain pass. 

After cycling around Switzerland to witness its beauty like never before, we made a list of 5 bike tours that should top your bucket list. We’ve covered all skill levels to show you the diversity of Switzerland’s best cycling holidays. Read through our selection of routes and pack your gear for an unforgettable Switzerland bike tour. 

How to get to Switzerland with your bike

Unless you’re planning on renting a bike, you may be wondering how to get your bicycle into Switzerland to start your bike tour. For those traveling from outside of Europe, flying is the only realistic option. Although it’s possible to fly with your bike, it’s time consuming and pricey to prepare it for a flight. If that’s your only choice, make sure you research the fees and packing requirements of your airline. 

For our Switzerland cycling tour, we took Flixbus from the Netherlands into Basel. Fortunately, Flixbus is operating nearly everywhere across Europe, and we had no problem booking tickets. We placed our bikes on the rack at the back of the coach and enjoyed the ride to Switzerland. 

It’s also possible to take your bike on the train and coast along the European countryside. Switzerland trains accommodate cyclists by allowing you to bring your bike onboard and across the border. SBB offers an international bike ticket that lets you transport your bike through numerous European countries. Check out this link for bike storage info on other European trains. 

Of course, you can easily use your car to travel to Switzerland from other European countries. Our advice would be to compare petrol and toll costs of driving to Switzerland from your location versus plane/bus/train tickets.

Experience seamless and unlimited travel across Switzerland’s trains, buses, and boats, making your journey as memorable as it is easy.

Where to stay while biking in Switzerland

For adventurous travelers who are often on a tight budget, camping is your best option while cycling around Switzerland. There are hundreds of clean, well-equipped campsites in the Swiss countryside and near major cities. We loved sleeping beneath the stars and waking up beside alpine lakes and snow-capped peaks made our trip even better.

Just know that wild (free) camping in Switzerland is only allowed in the mountains above the treeline. You won’t reach these areas often while bike touring around Switzerland, and you’ll need to stick with mostly paid campsites. For one night at a campsite with a tent and +1 person, the average cost is about CHF 20-25 (about $22-27.50, €19-23.50, £17-21). 

Our favorite Switzerland bike tours

1. bodensee (lake constance) round trip.

• Distance: 270 km (about 168 miles)
• Difficulty: Medium
•   Ascent & Descent: 672m Ascent & 671m Descent

The Bodensee bike tour is one of Europe’s classic tours that follows the banks of this oddly-shaped lake. As the third-largest lake in central Europe, Bodensee gives you lots of opportunities to cycle around European towns and scenic countryside. In total, the lakeside path takes you to parts of Switzerland, Germany, and Austria. 

Bodensee is wildly popular amongst European cyclists for its stunning views of the lake and limited inclines. The path mostly follows the banks of the lake, and the signage varies considerably depending on the country. Although the signposts are near perfect in Switzerland, parts of Germany and Austria can be tricky. 

While cycling in each country, you’ll ride through historic towns, see gorgeous mountain vistas, and coast through picturesque farmland. There are slight challenges at the Bodanrück hills and Schiener Berg on the Höri peninsula, but the other sections are suitable for all skill levels. 

The trip is usually divided into 4-7 stages, and you won’t have any difficulty finding campsites and other accommodations near the lake. Many campgrounds are located by the shoreline and provide beautiful views of the alps in the distance. Some of the towns you’ll pass include Kreuzlingen, Romanshorn, Arbon, Bregenz (Austria), Friedrichshafen (Germany), Überlingen (Germany), Stein am Rhein, and Konstanz (Germany).

2. Lake Geneva Round Trip

• Distance: 190 km (about 118 miles)
• Ascent & Descent: 1,677m Ascent & 1,677m Descent

Biking around Lake Geneva (Lac Léman) lets you explore beautiful regions of France and Switzerland with the Alps and Jura Mountains as your backdrop. Bike tour 46 (Tour du Léman) transports you around the largest natural lake in the Alps and along scenic roads in the countryside. The regional route doesn’t include many strenuous inclines, and most sections are suitable for riders of all skill levels. 

To stay closer to the shoreline and farther away from road traffic, cycle around the lake clockwise. You can also alter your bike tour by hitching rides on the Swiss train for stunning views of snow-capped peaks. Part of this adventure around Lake Geneva wanders into bustling urban centers, but you’ll have plenty of time riding through tranquil, rural areas. 

As you pedal along the shoreline, it’s incredible how the mountains reflect on the water’s surface. In between tourist hotspots like Geneva and the Vaud Riviera, you’ll cycle past beautiful vineyards and unspoiled nature reserves. Cycling the slopes of La Côte will require some effort but reaching the peaceful Grangettes Nature Reserve is worth it.   

This bike route in Switzerland can easily be broken into stages, and there’s no shortage of camping sites on both sides of the Lake Geneva border. You’ll save a few bucks camping on the French side, but all campgrounds on the shoreline have great amenities. If you wish to spend a few days in the city, Geneva, Lausanne, Montreux, and Thonon-les-Bains (France) have lots of accommodations. 

3. 3 Lakes Tour

• Distance: 162 km (about 101 miles)
• Difficulty: Easy
• Ascent & Descent: 397m Ascent & 397m Descent

For first-time cyclists, the 3 Lakes Tour offers exceptional lakeside views on flat terrain for an enjoyable vacation. The lakes of Neuchâtel, Murten, and Biel rest in the Jura region of Switzerland, and the bike route ventures into tiny villages and small towns. For a base location to prep your journey, the capital city of Bern is around 30 km from Lake Murten. 

The route has very few inclines and lets you coast along serene country roads by the lakes. You’ll also pass spectacular views of the Jura Mountains, vineyard landscapes, tranquil forests, and lush marshlands. Lake Neuchâtel is the largest lake entirely in Switzerland, and its southern shore is not far from a pristine bird habitat. 

Most campsites and accommodations are situated around Lake Neuchâtel, but you’ll also find campgrounds on the shores of Lake Biel and Murten. The 3 Lakes region is highlighted by many historic towns rich with medieval sites. Yverdon-les-Bains, Neuchâtel, Biel/Bienne, and Estavayer are popular options to spend the night while touring the 3 lakes.

4. National Route 9

• Distance: 510 km (around 317 miles)
• Ascent & Descent: 6,100m Ascent & 6,100m Descent 

National Cycling Route 9 is the longest of the nine national cycling routes in Switzerland and cuts through the heart of the Swiss countryside. Known as the Lakes Route, the journey stretches from Bodensee to Lake Geneva and passes 10 other lakes in between. Some of the enchanting lakes you ride by include Lake Zug, Lake Ägeri, Lake Zurich, and Lake Lucerne.

Although the inclines aren’t as treacherous compared to other routes, you will face several uphill climbs and mountain passes. The alpine beauty you witness throughout the ride make the ascents totally worth it. If you do need a little boost, you can always take the train uphill and race downhill on your bike.

In addition to mountain and lakeside vistas, this bike tour in Swizerlands lets you visit and spend the night at some of Switzerland’s charming cities. You can begin the trip in either Montreux or Rorschach, and visit popular places like Gstaad, Gruyères, and Luzern. This route is fantastic for camping beside lakes or beneath alpine vistas that Switzerland is known for. 

5. Round Trip Switzerland (National Route 7-2-1)

• Total Distance: 1,065 km (about 662 miles)
• Difficulty: Medium-Difficult
• Ascent & Descent: Route 7 (5,400m Ascent & 5,200m Descent) Route 2 (3,600m Ascent & 4,800m Descent) Route 1 (3,600m Ascent & 4,600m Descent)

If you have a few weeks for your Switzerland bike tour, consider traveling around the entire country by bike. For our cycling holiday, we used National Routes 7, 2, and 1 for a round trip across Switzerland. The itinerary combined the Jura, Rhine, and Rhone routes to explore famous Swiss towns, breathtaking mountain scenery, and sparkling lakes. 

The landscape diversity was off the charts, and we saw for ourselves why Switzerland is one of European’s most beloved destinations. From evergreen forests and peaceful valleys to gushing waterfalls and snow-capped peaks, this route had hundreds of postcard-worthy images. For experienced cyclists, National Route 7-2-1 receives our highest praise for an adventurous vacation.

Whether you prefer camping or a comfy snooze inside a hotel, there’s an abundance of accommodations to choose from. You have the chance to spend nights beside beautiful lakes, such as Lake Geneva and Bodensee, or bustling towns like Basel and Chur. In between, there are rural campgrounds, cozy hotels, and affordable hostels to accommodate you.
