The Lakes Rou­te is aptly named, as the rou­te tou­ch­es count­less lakes bet­ween the start on Lake Gen­e­va and the finish on Lake Lucer­ne. The rou­te cros­ses some of the out­stan­ding tou­rist regi­ons and places with illus­trious names: Mon­treux, Gruyè­res, Gstaad, Inter­la­ken and Lucer­ne. Anyo­ne who com­ple­tes the Lakes Rou­te will have seen the most beau­tiful cor­ners of Switzerland.

Itinerary / Stages

Day 1
Arri­val in Montreux/Vevey
Distanz: 0 km Höhe (+): 0m Höhe (-): 0m
Stroll along the pro­me­na­de and enjoy the breath­ta­king views of Lake Gen­e­va and the snow-white gla­ciers of the near­by Mont Blanc massif.
Day 2
Montreux/Vevey — Gruyè­res surroundings
Distanz: 50 km Höhe (+): 600m Höhe (-): 500m
Quiet roads lead you to the ori­gin of Switz­er­lan­d’s most popu­lar cheese: Gruyè­re, which shares its name with the land­scape. A recent sym­pho­ny of green melan­cho­ly, the tin­k­ling of cow­bells and customs. 
Day 3
Gruyè­res sur­roun­dings — Gstaad surroundings
Distanz: 40 km Höhe (+): 735m Höhe (-): 410m
Post­card Switz­er­land: cheese dai­ries, cha­lets, sno­wy moun­ta­ins, cable cars, the scent of hotels and sil­hou­et­tes. Even away from the idyll, the Pays d Enhaut and the Saa­nen­land are a magni­fi­cent land­scape, enli­vened by the haze of cele­bri­ties and smart moun­tain people. 
Day 4
Gstaad sur­roun­dings — Spiez
Distanz: 55 km Höhe (+): 740m Höhe (-): 1150m
The artis­ti­cal­ly deco­ra­ted woo­den hou­ses in the Sim­men­tal are among the most beau­tiful in Euro­pe. The Sim­me remains a wild river that is a real chall­enge for rub­ber ding­hies. And Spiez is a water sports para­di­se on the ser­e­ne Lake Thun. 
Day 5
Spiez — Lake Sarnen
Distanz: 60 km Höhe (+): 1145m Höhe (-): 1200m
Mor­ning boat trip from Spiez to Inter­la­ken. Con­ti­nue along the shores of Lake Bri­enz with some steep clim­bs to Mei­rin­gen and by train over the Brü­nig Pass. You reach Obwal­den: a small can­ton, a lar­ge val­ley, a pre-Alpi­ne land­scape with scat­te­red sett­le­ments, shal­low lakes and long traditions 
Day 6
Lake Sar­nen — Lucerne
Distanz: 35 km Höhe (+): 240m Höhe (-): 310m
As soon as you catch a glim­pse of Lake Lucer­ne, the Pila­tus stands in your way. Bay after bay, direct­ly after Lucer­ne, a fixed point for every tourist. 
Day 7
Indi­vi­du­al depar­tu­re or extension
Distanz: 0 km Höhe (+): 0m Höhe (-): 0m
Indi­vi­du­al depar­tu­re or extension

Additional information

Tour cha­rac­ter
The rou­te is natu­ral­ly flat along the many lakes — but the­re are smal­ler and lar­ger incli­nes to over­co­me bet­ween the bodies of water: Less spor­ty cyclists should the­r­e­fo­re use an elec­tric bike, which is par­ti­cu­lar­ly sui­ta­ble for this rou­te. Spor­ty cyclists tack­le the stages on tou­ring bikes.

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.
Insu­ran­ces

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.
