Straight into your heart!

The route through the Alpine foothills, between Lake Geneva and Lake Constance, encompasses 12,000 metres of elevation. This might seem mad at first glance, but, on closer inspection, this choice of route makes perfect sense … you’ll encounter some of Switzerland’s most beautiful old towns, splendid farmhouses and sparkling lakes along the way, the snow-capped Alpine peaks in the background all the while providing the perfect panorama. The Herzroute (route 99) is one of Swiss Cycling Country’s classic routes and this heart-warming tour is well worth experiencing, especially on a powerful e-bike.

Itinerary

After you’ve dropped your luggage off in Lausanne, the Herzroute begins at the Olympic capital’s elegant quays. The ascent over the Lavaux vineyards, a UNESCO World Heritage site, offers spectacular views of Lake Geneva and the Alps. Picturesque panoramic sections and lush landscapes will entice you to keep going until you reach Romont.

Starting from Romont, the tour boasts a wealth of stunning scenery, taking in the nearby pre-Alpine rolling hills and Three Lakes area, including the historic towns of Avenches and Murten. Your journey continues along the fjord-like Schiffenen Lake to medieval municipality of Laupen.

From Laupen, the route takes you through the Bernese Hinterland to Längenberg, from where you can enjoy breathtaking views of the Alps and, a little further on, of Lake Thun. You then press on via Riggisberg to the moraine lake area around Amsoldingen before you ultimately reach Thun, today’s destination.

The ‘royal stage’ features an ascent to Heiligenschwendi, high above Lake Thun, allowing for magnificent views of the Alps. Afterwards, the route descends into the forests of Eriz, a hilly, fairytale landscape that slowly transitions into the Emmental. Your arrival in Langnau concludes this tour – it’s now time to collect your luggage and depart
