Tour character

A route for people who know how to enjoy themselves. Perfectly marked and signed bike trails lead you through the most beautiful sceneries of central Switzerland. The route is almost continuously paved and often leads on tranquil side roads or designated bike paths. For the ride through the hills of Hirzel and going up the Ibergeregg pass stamina and a good physical condition are required. In cities like Zurich or Lucerne one has to be mindful of traffic.
