Pure, idyllic alps

The Lakes-Route deserves its name, because many lakes touch the route from its beginning at Lake Geneva to its goal at Lake Lucerne.

The Route leads through some outstanding touristic regions with great sounding names: Montreux, Gruyères, Gstaad and Thun… Whoever completes the Lakes-Route, has seen the most beautiful corners of Switzerland.

Itinerary

Luggage drop-off in Vevey. From the city centre of Vevey, take the rack railway up to the Mont-Pèlerin. Quiet roads lead you to the source of the most popular cheese of Switzerland: the Gruyère, which shares its name with the region. A recent symphony of green melancholy, cowbells and customs.

Postcard country Switzerland: cheeseries, chalets, snowy mountains, cable cars, hotel scent and papercutting. Away from the idyll, the Pays d’Enhaut and the Saaneneland are a magnificent landscape, animated by the haze of celebrity and happy mountain goers.

The artfully decorated wooden houses of the Simmental are among the most beautiful in Europe. The Simme remains a wild river that demands a lot from dinghy riders. On to Spiez, a water sports paradies on the cheerful lake Thun. Departure from Thun.

Tour character

Along the lakes between Montreux and Thun, the route is of course smooth and flat – but between the lakes there are some minor passes to cross: Less athletic cyclists are recommended to use an electric bike which is well suited for this route. Athletic cyclists use the touring bikes.

Arrival by train

Leave your car at home! For every cycling, biking, or hiking tour in Switzerland, each participant receives an SBB coupon that grants a CHF 10 discount on their train ticket for the journey. The discount can be redeemed in the SBB online shop or via the SBB app.

For many trips, we use luggage counters at train stations at the beginning and end of the journey for convenient baggage drop-off and collection. This can easily be combined with your train travel. If you have a GA travelcard, you can indicate this when booking, and we will credit the amount to your invoice.

If you don’t use the coupon for your trip, you can redeem it later in the year. Please note that retroactive refunds are not possible for administrative reasons.
