If you’re as enthusiastic about outstanding singletrack on natural paths as we are, then this Collection is for you. We show you our nine favourites in the Swiss Alps and guarantee pure singletrack fun on every Tour!
Whether you're on the narrow trails in Graubünden, Valais or Ticino, you'll be surrounded by picture-book scenery for unforgettable memories: impressive glaciers, crystal-clear mountain lakes and deep gorges are just as much a part of the experience as the rustic mountain huts that provide you with delicious local delicacies.
These routes include easy to moderately difficult trails, earthen paths, gravel roads and remote side roads under your tyres. Almost all Tours are in high alpine terrain but you don't have to be a pro.
Even the most remote mountain regions in Switzerland are perfectly connected by public transport. And the best thing is: you can easily take your bike with you in the Postbus, on the train or in the cable car. This makes your arrival and departure easier and allows you to shorten the Tour if you run out of breath or the weather suddenly changes.
So, grab your bike and explore these nine beautiful nature trails in the Swiss Alps. They’ll give you exhilaration and adventure, I promise!
