Cycling Holidays Switzerland

Cycling in Switzerland is a real pleasure….  With superb backroads, pretty villages and challenging mountains, including the (in)famous Nufenen Pass – Switzerland’s highest paved road.  It is a great place to test yourself whilst enjoying the wonderful scenery this country has to offer.

Ride25 cycling holidays in Switzerland

Our Ride25 Swiss cycling holidays include our Paris to Geneva and Geneva to Milan rides.  As with all Ride25 tours, everything is included so that all you need to think about is which way to pedal!  All our routes are designed to experience the best that Switzerland has to offer – whether that be riding along the best roads, sampling some of the best local food and seeing the best scenery the country has to offer.  On our Paris to Geneva cycling holiday, we enter into Switzerland on day 4 of the adventure with a cycle across the magnificent Jura Mountains – including a seven mile long climb of over 1200m. This is followed by a beautiful and fast descent down to Lake Geneva where celebrate our finish by the lakeside. On our Geneva to Milan ride, our adventure begins with a beautiful ride along the south side of Lake Geneva before turning south along the Rhone Valley. We then enjoy 50 miles of traffic-free, fairly flat cycling on good tarmac alongside the river – bliss! The biggest day of the trip comes on day 2 when we go up the Furka pass which connects with the famous ‘Nufenen Pass’ – Switzerland’s highest paved mountain pass – before our descent into the small mountain village of Airolo.

Accommodation on our Swiss cycling holidays

We handpick all of our hotels in Switzerland to ensure that they provide good quality, 3 or 4 star accommodation in a clean and comfortable environment.  (You will never find yourself staying in a youth hostel or tent as we believe a good night’s sleep is an essential part of enjoying your cycling adventure!)
Some examples of the hotels that we use in France are as follows:

Geneva hotel: Novotel Geneva (Paris to Geneva tour)

Semur-en-Auxois hotel: Hotel de la Cote D’Or (Paris to Geneva tour)

Airolo hotel: Hotel Forni (Geneva to Milan tour)

Lunch and Evening meal stops

We have great relationships with the local restaurants that we use on our Switzerland Cycling Holidays and we always make sure that everyone is well fed to give them plenty of energy to refuel properly so they are ready to get back on the road! Some examples of the lunch and evening meal restaurants that we use are:

Les 5 Portes – Geneva (Paris to Geneva tour)

Cafe du Centre – Nuits de St Georges (Paris to Geneva tour)
