Swiss National Bike Routes


The Swiss National Bike Routes are the national cycling route network of Switzerland. There are currently nine such long-distance cycling routes criss-crossing the Swiss nation and these were established mainly to promote bicycle tourism.
The routes are signposted with red signposts. National routes are characterized by single-digit numbers to tell them apart from the Swiss regional routes. Each national route is published in a guidebook in German and French with map sections at 1:100 000 scale with technical and tourist information.
Nine national and many regional routes were established. The nine national routes are:
  1. Rhône Route: Andermatt – Geneva,, of which is unpaved road, of altitude
  2. Rhine Route: Andermatt – Oberalp Pass – Chur – Schaffhausen – Basel,
