Get to know this country’s distinct culture and traditions through its national pastime known as “wandern.” Translated as “wandering,” it’s achieved by foot or by bike on an extensive network of well-marked and well-maintained routes and dedicated bike paths with scenic vistas and overlooks galore.

Find tours that suit your fitness levels and interests, from the looming Alps for cyclists looking for a challenge to the tame and seemingly tropical Lago Maggiore in the Ticino region to adventures through picturesque villages with wooden farmhouses and church steeples. Just remember: Cycling through the Alps is different from cycling over the Alps: many tours are not as difficult as you’d expect.
