Tour description
What once began as a joke while with my friend «Hämpu» in front of a locally brewed beer, became a great hit. We ride into the Jura over a very challenging pass and then as the tour’s name says, we ride around Switzerland. We ride just along the border and explore off the beaten path, along old historical Roman roads, supply roads and blockhouses of the First and the Second World War, through valleys and deserted areas. Expect a lot of passes, selected hotels and chalets, breath-taking scenery, lakes, rivers and views. Let us surprised you, anyone who has ever participated, did love it.
Touring highlights
Jura, underground Mills, Croûte aux morilles au vin jaune (local delicious black and very special mushroom in pastry with natural yellow wine), Morbier, famous smoking pipe capital, the coldest place, Lago di Orta, Livigno tax free city and a lot more…
