Experience the Majesty of the Swiss Alps in Spring
Embark on an unforgettable journey into the heart of the Swiss Alps with your knowledgeable local tour guide.
As winter retreats, and the first hints of spring grace the landscape, you’ll have the opportunity to witness the Alps in a state of gentle awakening. While down in cities like Bern, Zurich, and Geneva, flowers are already in full bloom, up in the mountains, the snow is melting, and nature is stirring from its seasonal slumber.
Switzerland boasts a remarkable statistic – 48 out of the 82 highest peaks in Europe, soaring over four thousand meters or 13,124 feet above sea level, are nestled within its borders. While scaling these peaks may be beyond our reach, you will have the privilege of meeting them up close and even spending the night within their majestic embrace.
Tour description
Spring is in the air, and you’ll be there to witness the Alps come alive after the long winter slumber.
Our journey begins in Bern, situated at around 500 meters, or approximately 1,640 feet above sea level. Here, spring unfolds in all its glory; you’ll see and smell the fresh green grass carpet adorned with a riot of colorful flowers.
We’ll traverse open roads known to locals, far from the hustle and bustle of daily traffic. We’ll ride at our own pace, venturing deeper into the mountains and up into the Alps. Keep an eye out, as you might be fortunate enough to witness the first marmots stirring from their winter sleep. Riding between towering snow walls, each twist and turn in the road reveals a breathtaking panorama. While you won’t catch a glimpse of the edelweiss, which flowers in July and August, the scenery will more than compensate for it.
Our carefully selected, upscale alpine hotels offer everything you need for a truly satisfying stay. Twincruiser Tours takes care of every detail, from delectable meals featuring local cuisine to spacious rooms equipped with modern amenities and awe-inspiring views. It’s the perfect tour for couples, with many participants claiming they’ve slept in more comfortable beds and rooms than at home.
Each day brings new motorcycling adventures, extending beyond the thrill of the ride. For the adventurous, there’s the option to tackle the historic cobblestone Tremola Pass road up to the Gotthard Pass – a challenge best undertaken in dry conditions. By the way, this very road was part of the 2021 Tour de Suisse. Meanwhile, non-riding partners have an array of alternatives, from spa treatments to outdoor heated pools, massages, beauty and health packages, saunas, sightseeing tours, village visits, and even mountain excursions with local guides. In the late afternoon, everyone reunites to share their day’s experiences.
Spring is fleeting in these alpine regions, so we’ll provide you with precise information 6–8 days before the tour begins, based on the official opening dates of the alpine passes in Switzerland, Austria, and South Tyrol.
