Arrival, welcome & bike set-up.

Arrive in Zurich, where our team will whisk you away to your lakeside accommodation. After settling in, you’ll meet your fellow riders and guides for a bike set-up session that doubles as a warm-up for your spirit.

The evening kicks off with a gourmet dinner and a briefing about the days ahead. Think of it as your prelude to an epic week—without the stress of missing a cue.

95km – 1200m ascent.

The day starts with an easy roll along flatter roads, lulling you into a false sense of ease before the majestic Pragelpass reveals itself. Traffic-free and flanked by dramatic cliffs above Klöntalersee, this climb is a masterpiece in isolation.

Descend towards Lake Lucerne, where serene waters and a well-earned meal await—along with the satisfaction of having conquered your first Swiss col.

80km – 1450m ascent.

Ride through the rolling green hills of Emmental, where every corner could star in a postcard. Yes, this is where the cheese comes from, but you’ll earn more than just culinary trivia as you climb Glaubenberg.

This stunning ascent offers quiet roads, a dash of alpine charm, and the promise of panoramic views at the top. The day ends atop Mount Pilatus, where dinner comes with a side of jaw-dropping scenery.

60km – 2000m ascent.

Today’s ride feels like stepping into a fairytale. Pedal through Meiringen (yes, the town where Sherlock Holmes faced his final battle), then tackle the famous Grosse Scheidegg.

No cars, no chaos—just quiet pastures, the towering North Face of the Eiger, and you. The descent into Grindelwald offers more than just relief for your legs—it’s your gateway to a feast worthy of the effort.

55km – 400m ascent.

Take it easy today—though in Switzerland, “easy” is still packed with charm. Spin along the shimmering waters of Lake Thun, or opt for a short ride to one of the hidden gems along its shores.

With options to suit your energy levels, this is the day to bask in tranquillity before another gourmet dinner in Spiez, complete with lakeside views.

127km – 2200m ascent.

This is the day your legs will write home about. The Gurnigel and Mittelberg passes test your mettle, but the ever-changing landscapes—from verdant valleys to alpine peaks—will distract you from the burn.

End the day in the luxurious mountain haven of Gstaad, where you’ll toast to your accomplishments over a gourmet dinner. Yes, you’ve earned it.

85km – 1700m ascent.

The Pillon Pass beckons for one last hurrah, guiding you into French-speaking Switzerland. Descend into the Rhône Valley, then tackle your final climb to Champex, a picturesque village that feels like it’s been plucked from a storybook.

Celebrate your journey with an al fresco dinner at a boutique hotel—proof that every uphill is worth the view at the top.
