Across eight days we link Switzerlandโs most beautiful regions. From vineyards to high passes, every ride is supported by our team and paced for enjoyment. Evenings bring lakeside sunsets, mountain air and shared meals that make the week memorable.
Arrival, welcome & bike set-up.
We welcome you in Geneva or Zurich and transfer to our hotel on Lake Geneva. After bikes are prepared, we gather on the terrace for a relaxed aperitif overlooking the water.
Dinner follows in Montreux, a warm and easy introduction to the week and to the people youโll be riding with.

We start the week with a gentle ride through the UNESCO vineyards of Lavaux. Terraced hillsides, lakeside roads and smooth tarmac make this a perfect opener.

Todayโs ride takes us up Col de la Croix, a steady climb with wide mountain views and a fun descent into the valley beyond. We stop in a small alpine town for coffee and pastries.
The afternoon is relaxed with time to unwind before dinner at the hotel.
