Switzerland, nestled in the heart of Europe, is renowned for its Alpine landscapes, precision infrastructure, and exceptional quality of life. With a population nearing 9 million, Switzerland reflects a harmonious blend of cultures and languages — German, French, Italian, and Romansh — each shaping the local traditions, cuisine, and character of the country.

Multilingual and multicultural

This cultural richness is matched by practicality. Switzerland’s neutrality, safety, and efficiency make it one of the most reliable and stress-free countries to visit – especially for cyclists. Locals are used to outdoor adventurers — and you'll find support, understanding, and courtesy on every road.

Immaculate roads and world-class cycling infrastructure

For road cyclists, Switzerland’s infrastructure is a major advantage. The country is famous for its:

·       Pristine tarmac and well-maintained mountain passes

·       Clear and consistent road signage

·       Low traffic volumes, especially on alpine routes

·       Reliable and well-connected public transport that supports bike travel

These features combine to offer safe, seamless cycling in the Alps, whether you’re tackling iconic climbs or enjoying a relaxed lakeside ride.

Easy travel and international access

Switzerland may be independent of the European Union, but it's part of the Schengen Zone, offering hassle-free access for most international travellers. The local currency is the Swiss Franc (CHF), and the quality and reliability of services are unmatched.

Major airports in Zurich, Geneva, Basel and Bern connect easily to top cycling regions via Switzerland’s legendary public transport network — widely regarded as one of the best in the world. Trains, buses, and even mountain railways welcome bikes, opening up a huge range of riding opportunities.
