Cycle Touring in Switzerland is Judith and Neil Forsyth’s Cicerone guide to one of Europe’s most ideal countries for cycling, from an extensive network of cycle routes to the spectacular Alpine landscape. The guide describes about 5000km of routes in Switzerland as well as sections in neighbouring Austria, Germany and Italy. Routes range from gentle rides along rivers and lakesides to challenging climbs over passes featured in the Tour de Suisse.

The guide is organized into nine main touring routes that are mainly on dedicated cycle tracks and are capable of being linked up to form tours of several weeks. The routes featured are the Rhone, Rhein, North-South route, the Alpine Panorama, Mittelland, an Engadine Circuit, the Jura, Aare, Lakes, Berner Oberland and the Alpine Star route. A detailed introduction includes a general overview of the routes, a guide to safety and route-finding, what to take, landscape, weather, accommodation and food and drink. Detailed route descriptions are accompanied by colour diagrams mapping the route in addition to colour photographs illustrating some of Switzerland’s most stunning scenery.
