After breakfast, you will cycle uphill and downhill in Appenzello, until you reach a friendly farming village, in a harmonious landscape at the foot of Säntis, marked by a characteristic dialect and ancient traditions.

Day 3: Urnäsch – Linthal (approx. 70-80 km +1060-1300 m/-890-1135 m)
Today you will cycle in the district of Toggenburgo, more wooded and rugged. Under the alluvial plain of the Linth, you will meet imposing limestone rock walls and Glarus, once an internationally important textile region.

Day 4: Linthal – Beckenried (approx. 75 km, +1585 m/-1800 m)
After breakfast, a beautiful uphill bike ride on Klausen Pass will take you to Urnerboden, the largest pasture in Switzerland. On the other side of the pass (1948m) you will meet Schächental, a charming mountain landscape where the traditional farming method, moving cattle from one pasture to another, is still used.

Day 5: Beckenried – Sörenberg (approx. 55 km +1440 m/-720 m)
Today you will cycle towards the imposing Lake Four Cantons with its impressive panorama, then continue to the placid Lake Sarner with its more open landscape. You will then ascend Glaubenbielen Pass (1611m), the steep pass to be crossed to reach Entlebuch.

Today you will cycle through the rugged Sense gorges to Swiss Fribourg, with its medieval historic centre with its cathedral and 200 Gothic house facades and its picturesque location along the Sarina. You will then cycle through an enchanting landscape to reach Lake Gruyère, an artificial lake in the land of the "Crème de la Gruyère" surrounded by black and white grazing cows. On a hill, the small castle town of Gruyere, which receives numerous visitors each year.

Day 8: Gruyères – Montreux (approx. 65-95 km, +1330-1465 m/-1645-1815 m)
