Why Individual Route Planning?

Cycling tours are highly individual and depend on various needs. Pre-made routes might not fully meet your expectations. Perhaps you want to explore different villages and cities, cover varying distances each day, or stay at a specific location. The conscious consideration and planning of your route make the experience of cycling unique. We believe that a blend of inspiration from pre-made routes and your detailed planning is the best solution.

SwitzerlandMobility - The Network for Slow Traffic

SwitzerlandMobility is a national network focusing on non-motorized individual transport in Switzerland, also known as "Slow Traffic." The platform offers a variety of leisure activities, including hiking, cycling, cross-country skiing, and sledding. For cycling, SwitzerlandMobility provides a detailed map called Veloland Schweiz, offering a comprehensive selection of national, regional, and local routes in Swisstopo quality.
