Discover the prettiest scenery of Switzerland by bicycle, the most pampered means of transport in this country. Pedaling by the banks of the river Rhine, through vineyards, contemplating the Alps, picking fruit on your way, swimming in the lakes or watching the green prairies. The city of Rapperswil-Jona will be our base camp and it is considered as one of the jewels on the shore of Lake Zurich.
Enjoy riding on bicycle lanes, that is Switzerland on bike. We will be staying in Rapperswil, a medieval town with a castle, on the shores of the lake of Zurich. Rapperswil is strategically situated near the modern and important city of Zurich: a financial centre and an admired European region, situated among the Alps and the plateau. It enjoys the best climate in Switzerland and it is the ideal place to approach the different bike tours, at different levels on the Alps, or by the lakes or the Rhine. With our local guide everything is easy and amusing.
