Cycle Touring in Switzerland

This book was written for cyclists on road and touring bikes, and is aimed at: 
  • experienced cyclists who wish to go to Switzerland to test themselves and their bikes
  • those new to the activity who would like to ride amid exhilarating scenery, but without much sweat and certainly no tears.
The nine national routes are described, followed by a series of tours radiating from Interlaken and finally in the Alpine Star, a trio of tours for the very fit. An attempt has been made to grade the routes. Each route is broken down into a series of stages, not days. The easy routes are normally flat or climb imperceptibly, and are suitable for families. The moderate routes have stages that are short and climb a maximum of 800m. The more challenging route stages: difficult or strenuous normally offer between 800 and 1500m climbing. The very demanding tours (Exceedingly Strenuous) described in the Alpine Star chapter are over 100km long and feature climbs of 3000m.

You can order this book from Cicerone, from Amazon and from any decent book or map shop. You can also order it from us, but whereas various sellers will offer you the book at a reduced price, often with free postage and packing we have to buy the book as well and pay Deutsche Post to carry it, so we charge you the full price plus €2 or €4 P&P. However we are prepared to write a dedication in the book and sign it, so in a hundred years' time your heirs may well possess a first edition signed by the author. It could be worth a bob or two. If you wish us to append a few words of greeting then drop us an eMail about the time you order the book telling us to whom you want the book dedicated.
