Compare 11 days of Bike Switzerland with any other guided tour and the difference is clear. The tour begins with a catered lakeside barbecue at the United Nations private beach. You will stay in 3 and 4 star hotels, all Swiss in character and magnificent in their setting. Mornings begin with a wonderful breakfast buffet. Our afternoon picnics are lavish and our evening meals unforgettable: 3, 4 and 5 course feasts with wine. Nightly aperitifs will whet your appetite.

We go out of our way to give you a real cultural experience: you'll meet our Swiss friends on your first night in town and keep meeting them every night thereafter. Bring an address book. Most Bike tour companies are based in the United States. Bike Switzerland is located in Carouge, Switzerland. We bike the paths you will be on… every day.

Everyone at Bike Switzerland has a background in international education. We believe that travel can be life-changing. Our program encourages this: we bond as a group, interact with the locals and explore the history and culture of the valleys we bike through.

We eat and drink very well, but we also like to burn calories. Avid cyclists needn't worry: we have 100 kilometer days and 1000 meter climbs. Bonus miles are always possible. Weekend cyclists or less-enthusiastic spouses will always be able to opt for a ½ day. Non-riding spouses are welcome and are provided with train transportation to explore the region.

Our brand new 21-speed hybrids have 3 chain rings and slick tires: perfect for the paved, gravel and dirt paths that you'll come across. We always travel with a spare bike and a professional mechanic. Prefer your own bike ? Our experienced mechanic will assemble it for you when you arrive and take it down again when you leave.
