Switzerland is an incredibly beautiful country - no doubt. But let's be honest, the prices can be a real pain in the ass. Traveled all over the Swiss Alps with a bike. Ultimate guide on how to do the same with not being a super sports person.

Tripsite/Eurotrek Sept 2024 Switzerland is in the books. Our overnights were Grimselpass (with a super scary downhill the first day) Iseltwald, Bern (where Gigi missed hopping the curb and wiped out), Biel, Solothurn (where we caught the end of the cowbell ringers coming across the bridge to the cheese festival) Aarau and lastly Bad Zurzach (where we soaked our sore muscles for 2 days in the soothing thermal pools!)

Wilderswil-Iseltwald-Giessbach-Brienz-Meiringen-Innertkirchen-Grimsel-Furka-Andermatt 109 km

Start nach 9.00 h Richtung Brienz. Da wir die „Giessbachfälle-Seite“ des Brienzersees in der Vergangenheit bereits betöfflet hatten, wollten wir der anderen Seite „Ringgenberg-Niederriet-Oberriet“ entlang fahren. Aber oh weh - Töfflis nicht erwünscht auf der Veloroute! 🚫 Trotz versuchten Umwegen schlugen wir dann halt trotzdem die andere Seeseite ein, wo wir in Iseltwald einen Getränkehalt am See machten. Etwas aufgeregt wegen der bekannten prekären Veloroute über die Giessbachfälle, entspannten wir uns dann aber total. Die 300 m, die wir die Töfflis stossen mussten, waren überhaupt nicht mehr kriminell über Stock und Wurzel mit Gefahr Purzel, sondern tipptopp ausgebaut und „eben“. 🙌

Über Veloweg / Nebenstrasse vorbei am Militärflugplatz erreichten wir Meiringen. Im Kristall machten wir Mittagsrast. Danach Tatzelwurm-Einkauf in der Frutal-Bäckerei und Reserveschlauchkauf für Mo’s Töffli beim Velogeschäft. An der Aareschlucht vorbei fuhren wir bei genügend Verkehr nach Innertkirchen. Grimselpass war unser nächstes Ziel, das wir bei mässigem Verkehr unter einem dicken Wolkendeckel endlich erreichten. Im Windschatten auf einer Treppe verspeisten wir endlich den verdienten Tatzelwurm 🐛😋 zusammen mit einem leckeren Cappuccino ☕️ - mit Helm auf dem Kopf, da es sehr windig + kalt war. Vor der Weiterfahrt wurde die Kleidung isolationstechnisch erweitert 🥶….

Abfahrt vom Grimselpass bis Gletsch, danach Auffahrt Richtung Furkapass. Grössere Steigung, wir waren im Schnutz oben 😉. Aber: Bitterkalter Gegenwind wechselten sich mit warmen sonnigen Abschnitten ab. Die Nebelschwaden verdichteten sich und oben angekommen war genau keine Sicht mehr. Oder „weisser Adler auf weissem Grund“. Im chriesdicken Nebel machten wir uns auf die Abfahrt ins Weiss - bis es dann endlich nur noch bewölkt war. Halb durchgefroren erreichten wir kurz vor 20.00 h unser Ziel Andermatt, wo wir unser Zimmer im Hotel Bergidylle bezogen. Nach Aufwärmen, einem warmen Essen und einer wärmenden Glasche Rotwein, verarbeiteten wir unsere heutigen Eindrücke und Erlebnisse hier im tumbler und werden wohl sehr gut 💤 🛌 Bis morgen… 🌟

Day 11: A Bittersweet Farewell to the Alps

Today is my last day in the majestic Alps. Unexpected budget hits and impending poor weather have determined that after today, my journey must gradually start winding back towards home. But I am determined to make it a memorable one.

I start my day in a rustic Swiss wood cabin hotel in the village of Ueberrotten, situated just kilometers away from some of the most iconic Swiss alpine passes. They are the perfect stage for the grand finale of my alpine adventure.

First, I conquer the Furka Pass, a classic route immortalized by a car chase in Goldfinger. At 2429m, it's a testing ride. Thanks to a bit of misdirection and poor planning, I tackle it three times. With each ride, I grow more familiar with its steep switchbacks and slick snow-caked roads.

By the third round, I allow myself to get my head up, and take in in the breathtaking views. Its snow-blanketed peaks and endless hairpins make it a challenging yet rewarding ride that pushes my skills to their limits.

The next pass is the Nufenan Pass, the highest paved pass in Switzerland, nestled between the peaks of Pizzi Galino and Nufenenstock. It presents a stark and isolated landscape that offers an oddly wild riding experience. Afterward, I move on to Oberalp, known for being the source of the River Rhine.

Finally, I arrive at the Grimselpass, a route whose stunning images partially inspired this entire trip. It exceeds all my expectations. Grimsel is the embodiment of a Swiss alpine pass, a microcosm of the country's breathtaking natural scenery, squeezing in snow-capped mountains, tumbling waterfalls, forests blanketing verdant meadows, icy glacier lakes, and remarkable tunnels. Its road, a harmonious balance of relaxed sections and challenging bends, feel like the perfect bow on this segment of the journey.

At the summit, I take a moment to just breathe it all in. Deciding not to photograph anything on this journey, I've opted to imprint every vista into my memory. Staring out over the breathtaking landscape, I realize how much of an impression this part of the trip has left on me. It's a moment of fuzziness, where I’ll be leaving a little bit of myself behind in this landscape. It’s a quiet goodbye to the Alps that will occupy a special place in my heart.

This perfect moment is a stark contrast to my subsequent arrival in Lucerne, a vibrant city teeming with high fashion and travellers thronging towards the lake. Despite its popularity, I’m now sure that cities don’t interest me. I had intended to explore some cities on my return journey, but now, I decide to let them pass.

I find a campsite at the Lido on Lake Lucerne, and as I set up for the night, I can't help but feel a twinge of sadness. Tomorrow, I will be leaving Switzerland and its hefty price tag behind, heading northward on a slightly shortened route home.

It's been an incredible, emotional journey through the Alps, one that I wouldn't trade for anything. Tomorrow brings another day, another ride, but for tonight, I bask in the memories of the majestic Alps.

Finally everything is packed. Let’s go to Tunisia. 10 minutes later I had to return to take the forgotten green insurance card. On top of the Grimsel-Pass, snow !
