All cycling routes

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.

On the Lugano Bike route, one highlight follows the next. On the third stage it is Monte Tamaro, one of the great mountain bike classics in Switzerland.

A continual up and down high above the Thunersee lake heading west. The mighty Eiger, Mönch & Jungfrau massif soon appears. Well-kept houses, snowy summits and a lake landscape form the classic picture-postcard paradise.

The lovely Gantrisch area is overshadowed by the fashionable Bernese Oberland, but the foothills of the Alps have much to offer, especially to mountain bikers. The Königsroute – the route of kings –combines the best parts into a fantastic circular tour.

On this leisurely round trip, you will discover the fascinating peninsula near Lugano with its idyllic natural beauty and impressive cultural amenities. In addition, you will get to know the fruits of the autumn season as well as the local products of the region – during a tasting at “Giardino di Bacco” after the bike tour, for example.

The Davos Valley Tour is particularly well suited for families and beginners. The uphill sections are all gentle and most of the tracks are easy to negotiate.

From Romanshorn the route climbs to the imposing moated castle of Hagenwil, and on over green hills. Then down and over the Thur, a tamed river. Soon visible, the old medieval town of Wil, centre of the Fürstenland region.

The famous Guggershörnli – a remarkable rocky mound between Schwarzenburg and Guggisberg - with stunning panorama, is circled on this tour of medium difficulty.

The Jurasüdfuss region is always good for a surprise – even among mountain bikers. A first-class mountain bike tour is hidden in the unassuming forests of Grenchen.

The tour is named after the painter Giovanni Segantini, who spent several years living and working in Savognin. Some of his most famous work was done here. The bike route passes through this very area.

The Urnerland, an incessant, nervously pulsating transit corridor, where the wild Reuss plunges down through the Schöllenenschlucht (gorge), subdued only by sheer mountain walls and the Teufels Brücke (Devil’s Bridge).

As a mountain range, the Swiss Jura tends to play second fiddle to the Alps in terms of cycling appeal. Yet this region between Geneva and Basel is a cyclists’ paradise: numerous relatively quiet roads follow the gentle topography amid pristine landscapes.

A short splash in the Obersee, the world becomes flat, the fields at March are huge, green and clearly laid out. The former floodplain has a well-developed motorway and railway system, electricity races through the area on dozens of cables.

After Thun, the gateway to the Oberland, the wide Aaretal: large villages, industry, open fields and a powerful river in lush water meadows. Enter the capital city of Bern, UNESCO World Heritage with arcades teeming with shoppers.

Over rolling fields to Willisau, along tiny, idyllic peat ponds to the tourist attractions of Luzern. On via Küssnacht am Rigi to Brunnen, sometimes on panoramic paths high above the lake, sometimes taking bend after bend around the lake.

Superb ascent, mostly on unsurfaced roads through idyllic villages with lovely gardens, romantic little valleys and woods, over Alpine meadows with the sound of cowbells to Wildhaus. Breathtaking views over the Rhine Valley, to Alpstein and Säntis.

In Austria and Germany, the route leads over Innsbruck and Rosenheim through to Dreiflüssestadt Passau. Inn, once a significant traffic artery for salt and ore trading, connects three countries, famous cities and impressive landscapes.

The «Montfort Bike» route offers panoramic views over the Rhine valley, Liechtenstein Alps and Vorarlberg. The route’s name comes from the Counts of Montfort. For a long time, they were the owners of the castle and hamlet of Werdenberg, which gives the region its name.

Over gentle hills, passing tiny moraine lakes to «Chabisland» (cabbage country). An easy roll between clearly laid-out fields, silver planes waiting to take off in Belpmoos. Follow the River Aare at ground level, then ride through the lanes of Bern's UNESCO-listed Old Town.

The Graubünden Route leads along breathtaking stretches through glorious Alpine landscapes, from Chur over the Albulapass to Engadine and on a second branch of the route, along the Hinterrhein over the Bernhardinpass down to Bellinzona.

The journey Langnau–Entlebuch provides a magnificent impression of Emmental and Entlebuch. You will be guided along both of these valley landscapes.

The rolling hills of Oberthurgau: apples and pears in plenty, nearby canning factories to be expected. Motorway construction means that only parts remain of extensive water meadows east of Wil - main city in «Fürstenland».

Biking on the scenic crests of the Emmental hills and through deep ravines to Stächelegg on the Napf. An overnight stop at the summit inn is recommended, particularly impressive panorama at sunset and sunrise.

At the foot of the Säntis you reach the winter-sports resort of Wildhaus, in the heart of idyllic Toggenburg with the imposing Churfirsten peaks across the valley. Wildhaus is an ideal spot from which to extend the tour on the Wildmannli-Route to Sargans or St. Gallen.

A cycling tour for athletically-minded leisure cyclists who want to ride through the tranquil countryside, but who also enjoy stopping every now and then to try regional specialities.

Combining this escapade with a boat trip makes for a short yet spectacular loop on the shores of Lake Lucerne.

Tiersteinberg Bike is a gem in the diverse «Jurapark Aargau» and a pleasure at any time of the year – but particularly in spring, when the cherry trees in the Fricktal region are in blossom. The wooded Tiersteinberg reveals amazing views over the Aargau Jura Plateau.

Easy tour – lots of fun – minimum effort. After gentle ascents through the forest you soon arrive at the Ochsenalp which is an ideal spot for pleasure-loving bikers to take a break. The route then continues along the panorama trail with a gorgeous view of the Schanfigg Valley back to Arosa.

An enjoyable after-work circuit or half-day tour with great panoramic views of the Landwasser valley and the mountains surrounding Davos. A particularly thrilling aspect of the route is the high-speed downhill run.

The Aare Route follows the river from the small glacier lake on the Grimselpass until it joins the Rhine. After a racy stretch down the pass road, it passes the Aareschlucht (gorge) and deep lakes on the way to the Mittelland region.

The name says it all, what more can we say? With views over Lake Lucerne and the Mythen, this is the perfect tour for anybody who enjoys a spectacular panorama.

This 55-kilometer stretch leads from Rapperswil through original pre-Alpine landscapes to Wattwil.

Riding alongside the Rhine, you pass the St. Katherinatal Monastery, then head to countryside, to the timber-framed buildings at Stammheim. Surprisingly we have repeated panoramic views of the Alps. Apple trees increase in numbers, the Bodensee is not far off.
