The Main Route: 540 km Eastern Switzerland

The centrepiece of the cycling region is the new Lake and Alps Main Route - a 540-kilometre route with over 9,000 metres of elevation gain that connects the whole of Eastern Switzerland. It runs over six stages, each with its own character: from a relaxed ride along Lake Constance through the hilly landscapes of Toggenburg to the alpine challenges of Schwägalp or Vordere Höhe. Anyone who rides the entire Main Route already collects 40 of the 100 Adventure points.
