Description

Day 1: Individual arrival in Lucerne
Individual arrival in Lucerne and accommodation in the hotel.

Day 2: Circular tour of Lake Lucerne (55 Km)
The morning will hold the welcome briefing and delivery of the bicycles.
This tour will take you to the top of a gentle hill, from where you will enjoy a wonderful view of Lake Lucerne and the famous Rigi alpine pasture. You will ride along green meadows and quiet roads, which make the city seem very far away. After a few kilometers you will reach Küssnacht, with its beautiful lake front, and then continue to Weggis where a boat will carry you across the lake. From here you will pedal to the peninsula of Horw, then return to the city.

Day 3: Circular tour to the Werthenstein Monastery (60 Km)
From the center of Lucerne you will cross a small village called Emmenbrücke and go up a quiet little hill, where there are many beautiful farmhouses. There are some up and down sections in this part, but the view of the surrounding mountain panorama is enchanting. After a few kilometers, you will reach the Werthenstein Monastery and from here you will return to Lucerne.

Day 4: Circular tour to Sursee (65 Km)
Today's destination is the picturesque town of Sursee, located on the shore of Lake Sempach. Along quiet roads, through small villages, farms and green meadows, you will reach the lake: Sursee is the perfect place for a lunch break. Allow yourself some time to stroll through the delightful town center and try some Swiss specialties. The way back continues on the lakeside.

Day 5: Circular tour to Lake Zug (50 Km)
The first part of today's stage will not be new to you, but once you reach Küssnacht you will ride towards Lake Zug, where you can take a boat tour to the city of Zug. From there you will continue to pedal along the shore until you reach a quiet trail that leads to the city of Lucerne.

Day 6: Circular tour to Heidegg Castle (60 Km)
Today you will pedal to Emmenbrücke and then reach the Baldegg Lake, a wonderful nature sanctuary. Next to the lake you can visit Heidegg Castle with its beautiful garden. After the castle visit, you will return to your hotel in Lucerne.

Day 7: Individual departure
After breakfast, end of services.

🙋 Frequently asked questions

Can I bring my own bike?
Of course! You can participate in any tour with your own bicycle or rent one. However, we recommend renting because not all spare parts are the same, and only with our bikes can we guarantee the best mechanical assistance.
What kind of assistance will I have during the trip?
You will always have an emergency phone number to refer to. In self-guided trips, you should be able to perform minor repairs, like replacing a tube in case of a puncture, or fixing a dropped chain, but you can always count on local assistance for more serious breakdowns.
How do I know if a tour is within my capabilities?
We classify tours on a scale from 1 to 5 based on length, elevation, and complexity of the itinerary, but if you have doubts, contact us and we will help you find the most suitable journey for you.
What is the cost of renting bicycles?
The rental cost varies depending on the bicycle model and the duration of the tour. For some tours, we offer the possibility to rent different types of bicycles. During the purchase process for each route, you will be asked to indicate your preferred bike type and the corresponding price will be shown, so you can choose freely and without surprises.
Are rented bikes equipped with accessories like lights or bags?
Yes, rented bicycles are equipped with all necessary accessories to comply with road traffic regulations (lights, bell, etc.). A lock, repair kit, and a bag to carry everything you need for a day in the saddle are always included in the rental. Additionally, we offer the option to request extra accessories based on your needs.
