DAY TWO

Queen Stage

The opening full day of riding is our Queen Stage – a true Alpine epic. We roll out from Andermatt with a sweeping descent to Wassen before tackling the mighty Susten Pass. From its summit, a flowing descent leads us into Innertkirchen, where the steady, relentless gradients of the Grimsel Pass await. At the top, take a moment to admire the panorama — the ribbon of tarmac curling down the Grimsel side and, in the distance, the famous Furka Pass. A twisting drop into Gletch delivers us to the base of our final challenge: the Furka, with its legendary Belvédère Hotel stop. From there, it’s a thrilling ride back into Andermatt, ending with a gentle spin to the hotel door.

DAY THREE

Peaks of possibility

Today’s ride is all about variety and choice. We start with the breathtaking Oberalp Pass, a climb that offers beauty from the first pedal stroke. At the summit, you decide your challenge: descend directly back to Andermatt, push on to Disentis before tackling the pass again, or go big by adding the Lukmanier Pass. Whatever route you choose, every turn brings jaw-dropping views and a true sense of achievement. We finish the day back in Andermatt, ready for tomorrow’s next adventure.

Another blockbuster day in the saddle begins with the Furka Pass – this time climbed from its opposite flank. A sweeping descent into Ulrichen sets the stage for the day’s high point, both literally and figuratively: the Nufenen Pass, topping out at 2,478 metres. From its lofty summit, you’ll enjoy a long descent into Airolo, the perfect spot for a quick refuel. The grand finale is the legendary San Gottardo Pass, where the historic, cobbled Tremola road winds its way skyward in a spectacular series of switchbacks. Once over the top, the reward is a glorious descent all the way back into Andermatt.

A note on the weather

What we believe truly sets our Swiss cycling tours apart are the spectacular Alpine passes we guide you across – each one reaching heights of over 2,000 metres above sea level. At these elevations, weather conditions can be rather changeable. Whilst we do our utmost to plan around any challenges, occasionally our routes and itinerary may require adjustment, and we'll always provide you with the earliest possible notice should this be necessary. We appreciate your flexibility.

How fit do I need to be to take part in one of your Swiss cycling holidays?

One of the things that we think make our rides so special, is the mountain passes that we take you over – all of which top out at more than 2,000m above sea level. With this can come some unpredictable weather, and a range of temperatures as you ascend and descend. Our advice is to dress in layers, so that you adjust what you wear as necessary. But don’t worry too much, as our tour van is always on hand, allowing you to rest and warm up as needed, and of course, to carry any spare kit that you don’t want to ride with.
