Switzerland

The idea

The mountains everyone measures the others against.

Switzerland is the trip riders talk about for years afterward. Long alpine days on flawless tarmac, cols that stack one after another, and descents that go on until your hands ache — all of it supported, fed, and timed so you ride the mountains rather than survive them.

Evenings land in lakeside hotels: a swim, a massage, dinner with a view of the peak you climbed that morning. Group sizes stay small, the vehicle stays close, and the route each day flexes to the weather and the legs in the group.

• Road only, high alpine passes
• Small group, full support vehicle
• Lakeside hotels & spa evenings
• All meals and mechanical support
