Description

Day 1: Arrival in Rorschach and surroundings
Individual arrival and hotel accommodation.

Day 2: Rorschach and surroundings – Urnäsch (approx. 55-70 km, +1240-1685 m/-830-1145 m)
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.

Day 6: Sörenberg – Thun (approx. 50-70 km, +835-885 m/-1435-1490 m)
After crossing the alpine swamp in the rainy Glaubenbielen Pass, you will reach the biosphere reserve around Schrattenfluh. No less enchanting are the hills and valleys of Emmental, classic undulating pre-alpine countryside.

Day 7: Thun – Gruyères (approx. 95 km, +1675 m/-1520 m)
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)
Today you will ride passing through Obergreyerz and climb through alpine pastures to Hongrin. After an adrenaline-fuelled descent to the Rhone Valley, a sinuous descent to reach Montreux awaits you.

🙋 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.
