Most of the major clim­bs can also be over­co­me by post bus and bike/bike transport.

Indi­vi­du­al arri­val in St. Margrethen
Distanz: 0 km Höhe (+): 0m Höhe (-): 0m
Indi­vi­du­al arri­val in St. Margrethen.
St. Mar­grethen — Lichtensteig
Distanz: 80 km Höhe (+): 1690m Höhe (-): 1470m
The tour wel­co­mes you with con­stant ups and downs in the hil­ly Appen­zell coun­try­si­de. The Swiss say that every second house is a “Beiz”. It is a pecu­li­ar and peaceful far­ming coun­try, a fine­ly struc­tu­red land­scape at the foot of the Sän­tis, cha­rac­te­ri­zed by ori­gi­nal dialect and mischie­vous wit. 
Lich­ten­steig — Altdorf
Distanz: 107 km Höhe (+): 1760m Höhe (-): 1940m
Tog­gen­burg is richer in forest and hars­her. A not­ched, hump­ba­cked land­scape whe­re water once ruled over death and labor. Below, the allu­vi­al plain of Linth, brick coun­try with huge lime­s­tone walls, Gla­rus was once a tex­ti­le regi­on of glo­bal importance. On the ascent to the Klau­sen Pass is the Urner­bo­den, Switz­er­lan­d’s lar­gest alp, and below the 1948-met­re-high pass is the Schä­chen­tal, a moun­tain land­scape with a tra­di­tio­nal, agri­cul­tu­ral step­ped economy. 
Alt­dorf — Sörenberg
Distanz: 85 km Höhe (+): 1790m Höhe (-): 1100m
Wild in foehn wea­ther: the migh­ty Lake Lucer­ne with its impres­si­ve pan­ora­ma. In con­trast, the flat Lake Sar­nen with the Obwal­den Bru­der Klau­sen land­scape is love­ly. A tre­at for cranks: the pan­o­r­amic road on the Glau­ben­bie­len Pass, a high-alti­tu­de flight into Entlebuch 
Sören­berg — Thun
Distanz: 50 km Höhe (+): 645m Höhe (-): 1235m
Alpi­ne marsh­lands in the rain-rich Glau­ben­bie­len and a bio­sphe­re reser­ve around the Schrat­ten­fl­uh. No less attrac­ti­ve: the ‘Chrä­che’ and ‘Höger’ of the Emmen­tal, a clas­sic pre-alpi­ne hil­ly landscape 
Thun — Gruyères
Distanz: 94 km Höhe (+): 1660m Höhe (-): 1465m
From Chab­is­land through the wild Sen­se­gra­ben to Fri­bourg in Üecht­land. The old town with its cathe­dral and 200 Gothic house faca­des is pic­tures­que­ly situa­ted in the loop of the Saa­ne river. After­wards, a love­ly land­scape and an arti­fi­ci­al lake, the Lac de la Gruyè­re, will delight you. The land of the Crè­me de la Gruyè­re and black and white cows awaits you. On the hill of the small cast­le town of Gruyè­res with its bust­ling tou­rist crowds, you can enjoy a magni­fi­cent view. 
Gruyè­res — Aigle
Distanz: 66 km Höhe (+): 1045m Höhe (-): 1400m
It’s quiet in Ober­grey­erz and on the lonely ascent through harsh Alpi­ne mea­dows to Hon­grin, occa­sio­nal­ly punc­tua­ted by the thun­der of army guns. Expe­ri­ence an exhi­la­ra­ting 1000-met­re des­cent into the mild­ness of the Rho­ne Val­ley, a sen­su­al des­cent through all cli­ma­tic stages.

Additional information

Tour cha­rac­ter
This is the “roy­al rou­te” in Switz­er­lan­d’s cycling coun­try: bet­ween Lake Con­s­tance and Lake Gen­e­va, it cros­ses seve­ral Alpi­ne pas­ses and is well sui­ted for racing bikes. You can real­ly expe­ri­ence the pan­ora­ma of the Alps on this rou­te. If you want to take it easier, choo­se an elec­tric bike. A good basic level of fit­ness is requi­red in any case. Expect more traf­fic on the pass roads at weekends.

From Switz­er­land via the A7 or A13 (both toll roads). By train: Take the ÖBB to the Hohe­nemms stop (www.oebb.at). With the SBB to the St. Mar­grethen stop (www.sbb.ch).

Can also be boo­ked as a short version 
This tour has been desi­gned with a pre-night (tour start on day 2) and a post-night (one more night at the end of the tour befo­re the jour­ney home the next day) to ensu­re arri­val and depar­tu­re wit­hout time pres­su­re. 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. This ver­si­on can­not be boo­ked online — we will be hap­py to inform / book you by e‑mail or telephone. 
Other notes
To ensu­re a stress-free start to the trip, we recom­mend arri­ving at the start­ing point by ear­ly evening in most cases. Some tours start as ear­ly as mid­day, in which case we recom­mend arri­ving the day befo­re and will be hap­py to book an extra night for you at the same time. The indi­vi­du­al return jour­ney takes place on the last day of the tour. The kilo­me­ters are appro­xi­ma­te and may dif­fer from the actu­al kilo­me­ters cover­ed. This tour is not sui­ta­ble for peo­p­le with redu­ced mobility. 
Mini­mum num­ber of participants
If a mini­mum num­ber of par­ti­ci­pan­ts is requi­red for the tour to take place, this is sta­ted under Pri­ces and ser­vices. If the mini­mum num­ber of par­ti­ci­pan­ts is not rea­ched, we reser­ve the right to can­cel the trip up to four weeks befo­re the date of arri­val. We recom­mend that you do not orga­ni­ze your arri­val and depar­tu­re until after this dead­line has passed.

For this reason, you will have a local cont­act per­son on our indi­vi­du­al acti­vi­ty tours who will be hap­py to pro­vi­de you with infor­ma­ti­on and, as sta­ted in the tra­vel docu­ments, can be cont­ac­ted in an emergency.
