Itinerary / Stages

Day 1
Indi­vi­du­al arri­val in Interlaken
Distanz: 0 km Höhe (+): 0m Höhe (-): 0m
Arri­ve rela­xed in Inter­la­ken and enjoy the rest of the day at leisure.
Day 2
Boat trip to Thun / Thun Bern
Distanz: 36 km Höhe (+): 148m Höhe (-): 166m
You start the jour­ney with a ride through the wide Aare val­ley: lar­ge vil­la­ges, indus­try, open fields and a powerful river in a rich flood­plain land­scape. Enter the fede­ral capi­tal of Bern, a UNESCO World Heri­ta­ge Site with a bust­le of shops in the arcades 
Day 3
Ber­ne — Biel
Distanz: 47 km Höhe (+): 310m Höhe (-): 420m
A few pedal strokes will take you from the UNESCO-lis­ted Old Town of Bern to the idyl­lic Lake Woh­len. Fol­low the Aare into the See­land, a huge vege­ta­ble gar­den thanks to the Hagneck Canal. Lake Biel can be glim­psed behind the reeds and allu­vi­al forest, and the bilin­gu­al town of Biel is a hive of activity. 
Day 4
Biel — Solothurn
Distanz: 30 km Höhe (+): 80m Höhe (-): 85m
Child­ren of the Jura water cor­rec­tion: the Nidau-Büren Canal and the old water loop in Häft­li. The dry Witi, world of the stork and hare cham­ber. Not far away are the lazy mean­ders of the Aare, and from a distance the St. Ursen tower marks the baro­que town of Solothurn. 
Day 5
Solo­thurn — Aarau
Distanz: 60 km Höhe (+): 360m Höhe (-): 420m
Ever­y­thing seems to crowd into the long rib­bon of sett­le­ments at the foot of the Jura: The Aare and traf­fic, small towns and peo­p­le, fac­to­ries and warehou­ses. Unspec­ta­cu­lar­ly nor­mal — the rural, tran­quil Mit­tel­land is always clo­se by and natu­re is not far away. 
Day 6
Aar­au — Bad Zurzach
Distanz: 50 km Höhe (+): 320m Höhe (-): 350m
Along the Aare, an inte­res­t­ing inter­play of gab­led hou­ses, iri­ses, cement fac­to­ry and duck para­di­se. Just like the water, you cycle through mea­dows, ravi­nes and past reser­voirs, along the Reuss, the Lim­mat and the Rhi­ne. From Koblenz, con­ti­nue to Bad Zurzach. 
Day 7
Indi­vi­du­al depar­tu­re or extension
Distanz: 0 km Höhe (+): 0m Höhe (-): 0m
Indi­vi­du­al depar­tu­re or extension

From now on, you will earn Miles & More miles with every new booking.

Howe­ver, you can also book this tour in a 2‑day shorter ver­si­on (direct arri­val and depar­tu­re), in which case the first and last nights are omit­ted and the cor­re­spon­din­gly saved over­night stays redu­ce the total tour pri­ce.
