Description

It is a unique experience in the truest sense of the word: the panoramic tour ­offers an impressive cross-section of the diversity of the Swiss Alpine foothill landscapes with stunning views of mountains and lakes. The stages in Eastern Switzerland are technically easy, whilst in the West there’s plenty new lying in wait: culture and cuisine in Charmey and Gruyères with its local mountain, the Moléson. Climbs with an elevation of over 1,000 metres are rare, anywhere along the route there’s hardly any higher than 1,600 metres. So you can even do the tour as early as the end of May.

An enjoyable tour includes the careful planning of the same. Please inform yourself in advance at the local information center about the route and weather conditions. Depending on the season and weather conditions, this route may be blocked or interrupted
