E-bike adventure with heart & pleasure

Switzerland is wonderful to discover on two wheels - especially on an e-bike. If you're looking to experience nature, climb gentle hills and enjoy a cozy stop at a farm in the evening, you'll find hand-picked suggestions here that combine just that: Exercise, enjoyment and authentic country life. From Emmental to Graubünden - these routes make every ride an unforgettable experience.

More and more people are opting for the sustainable and enjoyable way of traveling by e-bike: quiet, decelerated and in direct contact with nature. The e-bike also allows less experienced cyclists to explore new heights and remote corners of Switzerland - without getting out of breath. And what could be better suited to gentle travel by e-bike than an overnight stay on a farm? Here you can experience the region with all your senses - from the view of green pastures to breakfast with the farm's own produce. We present some worthwhile routes that perfectly combine nature experiences, enjoyment and hospitality.
