Aare Route: A cycling journey along Switzerland's longest river

The Aare Route in Switzerland is a great cycling experience that begins at the Grimsel Pass, nestled in the heart of the Alps. This diverse and scenic path showcases the very best of Switzerland’s cycling, landscapes and cultural heritage. From there, the route descends through the dramatic mountain scenery, passing along the shores of two stunning lakes, Brienz and Thun, known for their crystal-clear waters and picturesque surroundings. As you continue, the route takes you through iconic Swiss towns such as Meiringen, the birthplace of meringue, and Thun, with its charming old town and majestic castle.
