A custom cycling holiday designed around you

At Swiss Cycology Tours, we design fully customised cycling tours in Switzerland, built entirely around your goals and preferences. Whether you want an epic ride of iconic mountain passes, are preparing for a major cycling event, want a tailored training camp, or simply are looking to experience unforgettable alpine roads at your own pace, we will create a tour that fits you perfectly.

From route planning to accommodation, logistics, and on-the-ground support, we take care of every detail so you can focus on the ride.

We can tailor:

The routes and climbs you ride

The number of riding days and distances

The level of support and guiding

The pace and difficulty of each day.

Built around your   cycling goals

Every rider has different goals. We take the time to understand what you want from your trip and build your tour accordingly.

Our basecamp model allows you to stay in carefully selected locations such as Andermatt, giving access to multiple world-class climbs directly from your door. This means less travel, more riding, and more time to recover and enjoy the experience.

Susten pass (from Wassen)
The Susten pass from Wassen offers 1,300m of elevation gain over 18km with a 7.5% average gradient. It winds along the Reuss Valley offering a steady climb and view of the summit ahead. It was opened in 1945 and was the first pass in the Swiss Alps designed specifically for motorised traffic.
Grimsel pass (from Innertkirchen)
The Grimsel pass from Innertkirchen is a 26km ascent with a total elevation gain of 1,600m and an average gradient of 6.5%. This iconic Swiss climb showcases dramatic switchbacks, pristine alpine lakes, and sweeping views, crossing the Bernese Alps at an elevation of 2,164m.
Furka pass (from Gletsch)
The Furka pass from Gletch is a 12km climb ascending 900m at an average gradient of 7.3%. Known for its iconic hairpin bends (and the famous Belvédère Hotel) and awe-inspiring mountain views, it is a perfect test for passionate cyclists.
Nufenen pass (from Ulrichen)
The Nufenen pass from Ulrichen is a 13.5km ascent that rises 1,130m with an average gradient of 8.5%. The summit is 2,478m above sea level making it the second highest paved road mountain pass in Switzerland.
San Gottardo pass (from Airolo)
The San Gottardo pass from Airolo is a 12.7km climb and ascends 860m with an average gradient of 7%. It includes the historic and iconic 5km cobblestone Tremola road section, with its 24 hairpins. This unique and scenic experience is one that every road cyclist should add to their list.
Oberalp pass (from Andermatt)
The Oberalp pass from Andermatt connects the cantons of Graubünden and Uri and is a 10.8km climb gaining 690m in elevation with a 6.4% average gradient. There’s even a lighthouse at the summit. Not for navigation, but to twin with Rotterdam’s Hoek van Holland lighthouse, where the Rhine meets the North Sea.
Oberalp pass (from Disentis)
The Oberalp pass from Disentis is the longer of the two ascents of the Oberalp pass, covering 18.5km with a total elevation gain of 960m and an average gradient of 5.2%. With gentle grades and panoramic views, this route offers a smooth, gradual climb.
Thusis to Juf
While not strictly a mountain pass, Thusis to Juf takes you up to the highest year-round inhabited village in Europe. It is a 38km climb that ascends 1,700m with an average gradient of 4.5%. And given that there is only one road in and out for most of the route, you’re almost always guaranteed a peaceful, traffic-free ride.
Splügen pass (from Splügen)
The Splügen pass from Splügen is a 9.5km climb that gains 800m in elevation with an average gradient of 8.4%. Known for its dramatic switchbacks, it is a bucket-list ride for serious climbers. You can even step into Italy at the summit!
San Bernardino pass (from Hinterrhein)
The San Bernardino pass from Hinterrhein is a tranquil 17km climb ascending 900m with an average gradient of 5.2%. This alpine route serves as a link between the Italian-speaking and German-speaking regions of Switzerland, and used since Roman times, it was once a key trade route between northern and southern Europe
