4 continent, 20 countries, 20,000km and the Swiss Alps remain one of my highlights from cycling round the world.

We did the Albula Pass, the Oberalp Pass & the Furka Pass on three consecutive days, it was totally awe inspiring! Sore legs at the end though!

We cycled from East to West across Switzerland, so took in a lot of gorgeous alpine scenery. As we crossed the Alps in the height of summer, we had plenty of daylight, so did some big days.

The mountain scenery is second to none, the road surface is pretty pristine, and you’ll meet loads of other crazy touring cyclists! Oh – and don’t mind if the the roadies on their carbon fibre bikes don’t say hi to you, they’re just focusing on the summit!

If you’ve got time, take in the views, stop at the waterfalls and find some beautiful spots for lunch. It’s worth it.
