Day 1: Arrival

Individual arrival.
We can organize your transfer. 

Our hotel is very well situated amidst vineyards and overlooking Lake Leman. Ah, this lake, how beautiful this lake is. Although it is commonly called Lake Geneva, its name is Lac Leman. And on the other side of the lake we can see France.  

On the shore of the lake there are many charming little towns: Vevey, with its charming little center and a beautiful shore with palm trees, monuments, little shops and restaurants. Here is also located the world headquarters of the giant, Nestlé. By train we can also quickly go to Montreux, where the annual Jazz Festival is held. Lausanne is also a beautiful city and, a little further away, but also perfectly reachable by train, is Geneva, an international city and UN headquarters.
Também de trem podemos ir rapidinho a Montreux, onde acontece anualmente o festival de Jazz. Lausanne também é uma bela cidade e, um pouco mais distante, mas também perfeitamente alcançável de trem, encontra-se Genebra, cidade internacional e sede ONU.

The group will meet up at the hotel and we will have our welcome dinner. 

Day 2: Vevey – Gruyères

We leave Corseaux, heading for the Lavaux vineyards. How beautiful it is! From up there we have the most stunning view of Lac Leman. It is breathtaking!

Of course, a wine tasting at the Vinorama wine museum is a must. Then we continue on the quiet roads that lead to the origin of the most popular cheese in Switzerland: Gruyère. Gruyère is also the name of this region that brings together a symphony of green landscapes, cow bells and customs.  
Gruyère é também o nome dessa região  muito verde, que preserva muitos costumes suíços e onde os sinos das vaquinhas são uma constante sinfonia.

Distance: 50 km

Ascent: 990 m

Day 3: Gruyère – Schönried

Today is Swiss chocolate day! Yes, and we will visit the Maison Cailler of the famous Swiss chocolate, in Broc.

Then we continue pedaling through a true Swiss postcard: cheese dairies, chalets, snowy mountains, cable cars, the smell of a hotel, and paper cutting. The Pays d'Enhaut and Saaneneland cantons form a magnificent landscape. Very frequented by happy mountaineers, it is also considered one of the best regions in Switzerland for cycling. Celebrities often visit this region.

Os cantões Pays d’Enhaut e  Saaneneland formam uma paisagem magnífica. Muito frequentada por felizes montanhista é também considerada uma das melhores regiões para se pedalar da Suiça. Além disso é uma região que celebridades gostam de frequentar.

Day 4: Schönried - Interlaken

Simmental's artistically decorated wooden houses are among the most beautiful in Europe.

We cycle overlooking the Simme River, a wild and scenic river 55 km long. Seven springs feed the Simme with strong waters from the glaciers. An ideal river for rafting or canoeing.

We continue on to Spiez, a water sports paradise on the busy Lake Thun. And here we take the boat that will take us to Interlaken.

One word is enough to describe this place: paradise!
