Switzerland & The Alps Cycling Maps & Guides

Switzerland is cycling paradise! Not only does it hold many of Europe's highest mountains, glaciers and azure lakes where white steamships glide gracefully about like swans; little bright red trains; palm-fringed subtropical promenades in Ticino; Heidi and Grandfather; superb chocolate; good cheese; cowbells... In addition, there is a wonderful 3,300 km national Swiss cycling network. Between 1998 and 2006 40 million CHF was invested in cycle routes, planning and signposting. The design philosophy is to guide cyclists onto quiet roads and cycleways (unpaved), and the signing means you don't have to spend the whole time looking at maps or a GPS!
