Bike Switzerland offers a cycling itinerary that will take moderate and strong cyclists across Switzerland in 11 days. Riders choose between long days (60-80 kilometers) or shorter days (30-40 kilometers). Unlike other bicycle tour companies promoting themselves to Americans, Bike Switzerland is run out of Carouge, Switzerland. We promote value, nature, authenticity and friendship on our rides. We offer one itinerary every year that we come to know very well. The tour all but two meals, luxury accomodations, all in-country transportation and high-quality, Swiss-made BMC bicycles.
Riders will cross Switzerland to ride a total of 580 kilometers while climbing a total of 4,800 meters.
We do make extensive use of the Swiss train network, allowing riders to avoid climbs, reduce mileage or take days of at any time.
