Day 2 of the Challenge Tour takes you to Gruyères — medieval hilltop village, home of the real Gruyère cheese, and somehow also the location of an H.R. Giger bar decorated entirely in his Alien universe. Bone arches, biomechanical furniture, and a beer in the middle of the Swiss countryside. Nobody sees this coming. 🎨🚴‍♂️

Day 8 of the Lite Tour takes you past Hagenwil Castle — a 13th-century moated castle that has never fallen into ruin, never been turned into a museum, and is still privately lived in today. Cross the drawbridge, stop for coffee in the restaurant, and ride on. That's just a Tuesday on a Bike Switzerland tour. 🏰🚴‍♂️

Day 5 of the Challenge Tour takes you through one of Switzerland's strangest surprises: the Rothenthurm raised bog — the largest in the country, flat, misty, and oddly reminiscent of northern Canada. It's not what you expect at 900 m in the middle of the Alps. In 1987, the Swiss voted in a national referendum to stop an army training ground here and write protection for these moorlands directly into the Constitution. The emptiness you ride through? Protected by democracy. That's what a Bike Switzerland tour looks like: a century ride with 1,160 m of climbing, and a story at every stop. 🚴‍♂️
