View Dates
Switzerland serves up the good life—Alpine views, vineyard spins, and cheese aged with near-religious devotion. Glide effortlessly past glaciers, lakes, and those famously contented cows. Lunch in a mountain hut, cross a sky-high suspension bridge, and wrap up in chic Bern. With alpenhorns, locals, and fondue-fuelled charm, this ride is peak Switzerland (pun very much intended).
Experience the best biking routes in the country—with quiet roads, bike paths and various terrain linking one stunning destination to the next.
After a day of pedalling, unwind in world-class hotels that exude lakeside grandeur, mountain chic and big-city elegance.
Switzerland is an idyllic place—the stunning scenery you’ll witness is only topped by the tidy beauty of the towns and villages.

Good to know
Air conditioning
Swiss law prevents hotels situated at high altitudes from having air conditioning. Your rooms have cooling systems, and you can open the windows at night to take advantage of the cool air.
Food
We'll indulge in a variety of incredible cuisines on this trip. However, it's difficult to accommodate vegan diets in Switzerland.
Terrain
Switzerland offers diverse terrain which can include some steep hills. We recommend familiarity with biking in these conditions.
