Cycling tours in Eastern Switzerland offer such a wide variety of experiences
Eastern Switzerland offers a surprising variety of cycling experiences within a compact area. Along Lake Constance, lakeside paths, orchards and small harbour towns alternate, whilst in Thurgau a cultural landscape characterised by apple and pear trees sets the pace. In and around St. Gallen, urban history and modern city culture meet on routes leading towards the lake and the Rhine region. Further south, the Heidiland opens up views of Lake Walen, the Rhine and the vineyards of the Bündner Herrschaft.
The character of the tours has also been deliberately varied. The Thurgau Leisure Cycle Tour combines exercise with visits to regional farm shops and culinary stops over a distance of 37.13 km, with an elevation gain of 210 metres. The E-bike Wine Route in the Bündner Herrschaft takes you through wine-growing villages and vineyards over 24.63 km and, with an elevation gain of 146 metres, remains pleasantly easy. The St. Gallen–Rorschach route, covering 12.51 km with an elevation gain of just 24 metres, demonstrates just how seamlessly city, history and the lakeside can be combined.
How to choose the right cycle tour in Switzerland
The right tour is the result of the interplay between the route, the elevation profile and the experience along the way. For a relaxing few days, short routes with little incline are ideal, as they allow time for breaks and exploring. Those looking for more variety will find longer routes connecting Lake Constance, the Rhine Valley and the rolling hills of Eastern Switzerland, where the landscape and culture are constantly changing.
On Velontour, planning always starts with the specific route. The regions of St. Gallen–Lake Constance, Thurgau–Lake Constance, Heidiland and Graubünden–Eastern Switzerland then provide the perfect backdrop of scenery, culture and regional specialities. In addition, the accommodation pages help you choose the right starting point for your cycling holiday – ensuring that the route, region and accommodation fit together seamlessly.
