If it wasn’t freezing cold and already snowing in summer I would’ve loved having gone through Switzerland.
Some of the best cycling ive ever done! My dad used to take us on this train that goes up into the mountains, and then you just cycle down. So beautiful. Only problem is the price, everything is very expensive there. Though i can imagine with camping and cycling most places you’d be able to keep costs down
I would be riding a bike everywhere if this was the case in my country. Unfortunately my country is so car centric even if it has moslty narrow roads. 😞
It’s great that there is so much bike infrastructure, and it’s great that the public transit is excellent. I do really like CH for one day road rides and for easy access to lift serviced downhill MTB. I live in Zurich, for reference.
But for touring, it’s super expensive, the food is pretty shit, it might be green but it is so intensely farmed and the forests so managed the lack of wilderness / wildlife is shocking. Tastes are personal, but my partner and I prefer basically any other country for touring. Alsace, for instance, is so accessible and is so much more pleasant, again in our opinions.
Also, the “charming” cow bells get really old after you ride through non stop cow pies on any alpine gravel / XC type ride, step on non stop cow pies while hiking in the alps, and can never escape from the sound of cows somewhere.
Thank you for the information, Swiss Tourism Board
