Rest of Europe

Nestled in the heart of Western Europe, between Italy, France, Germany, and Austria, Switzerland is a pristine land known for the majestically soaring Alps that dominate its terrain. Crystal clear lakes, hillside forests, green pastures, and old cog railways dot the countryside, making it a truly charming place to be riding a bike. In addition to its incredible natural beauty, Switzerland is known for its remarkably high quality of life, most notably in its major cities like Zurich and Geneva. The cuisine is hearty and indulgent, including outstanding cheese like Emmental, Gruyère, and Appenzeller. And of course no visit to Switzerland would be complete without trying racclette, fondue, and a variety of Swiss chocolates. Enjoyed with a glass of excellent Swiss wine from the cantons of Geneva, Neuchâtel, Ticino, Valais, and Vaud, any one of them makes for a fine Swiss meal.
