Climb the iconic Swiss Alps by bike
A unique feature of our tours is the awe-inspiring mountain passes on our doorstep. Here are the Swiss Alps climbs you'll experience when you ride with us.
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

Got questions?
We’ve got answers

Riding the Swiss Alps by bike is a unique and exhilarating experience, and something that not everyone is able to do regularly. So, while your experience up to now may not have involved many mountain, or consecutive day, rides, a good level of experience in how to ride safely and handle a bike, preferably in small groups, is advisable and would help you get the most out the tour. A specific area in helping to help ensure everyone’s safety, is in having an understanding of, and confidence in, descending.
How experienced a cyclist do I need to be?
Riding the Swiss Alps by bike is a unique and exhilarating experience, and something that not everyone is able to do regularly. So, while your experience up to now may not have involved many mountain, or consecutive day, rides, a good level of experience in how to ride safely and handle a bike, preferably in small groups, is advisable and would help you get the most out the tour. A specific area in helping to help ensure everyone’s safety, is in having an understanding of, and confidence in, descending.

How do I navigate each ride?
Our rides are semi-supported, and you can expect to have to undertake a level of route navigation on your own, or in small groups. Detailed route files will be supplied as part of the pre-tour information pack that you can load to your personal bike computer, and our team van will meet you at various points on each ride, the specific locations of which will be communicated at the start of each day. A short daily morning briefing will give us the chance to talk through the route once more just before you head off.

What kind of weather should I expect, and how should I prepare for it?
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.

What kit do you recommend I bring?
Our full recommended kit list will be supplied as part of the pre-tour information pack, but in general you should look to pack clothing that takes into account a variety of weather conditions and temperatures, and enough to last for the duration of the tour. Gloves and a rain jacket are likely essential. In terms of refuelling, a range of energy bars and gels will be provided by us, and bike tools will be available for communal use, so you only need to bring the essentials to ride with.
