Guided cycling tour 'Lakes of Switzerland' in 3 stages
One stage 6 day, combine two stages 9 day or all three stages 12 days
Stage Two - Bernese Oberland to Lake Zurich
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. If you complete the Lakes Route you can pat yourself on the back and know that you've really experienced Switzerland.
Your luggage will be transfered between hotels which enables you to fully enjoy the wonders of the journey unencumbered.

You wll meet your guide at 8am in the lobby of your hotel . Your guide welcomes you and you get your bicycle ready. The Brünig Pass is an exciting challenge for some, a steep obstacle for others. Just as long as you know that the cable car at Meiringen can whisk you up to Hasliberg and from there it is pretty much a downhill ride all the way - along Lake Lungern and Lake Sarnen to the shores of Lake Lucerne.

A short section today. You will surely want to stroll through Lucerne, enjoy the panoramic view from Mount Rigi or Mount Pilatus, or perhaps take a boat ride and discover the beauties of the Lake. Later on, Lake Zug awaits the cherries in every variety and at Lake Aegeri we are reminded that here centuries ago the Swiss Confederates forced the occupying Habsburg army to flee.
