Stage Three - Lake Zurich to Lake Constance

The lakes route is aptly named because from its start in Vevey on Lake Geneva in the south, the route skirts 16 lakes before reaching its destination at Lake Conatance in the north. We offer this tour in three stages, each four days and three nights. Of course you can combine all three parts and cycle in 12 days across Switzerland.
