The Lakes Route is aptly named because from its start in Vevey on Lake Geneva in the south,
the route skirts 16 lakes before reaching its destination at Lake Constance in the north.
To get from one lake to the other is not always a walk in the park ... you will have some hills
to contend with - some of steeper and some less steep grades. Make no mistake. This route
is a challenge both with regard to the total distance covered and to the topography encountered.
But the great thing is that should the going get too tough you can always load your
bike on to the train and take the comfortable way out. If you complete the Lakes Route you
can pat yourself on the back and know that you've really experienced Switzerland. |

| The Lakes Route deserves its name fully well, because it passes past 16 lakes between its starting point in Vevey on Lake Geneva and the destination at Lake Constance. The route passes through some excellent tourist regions and locales. Anyone who has done the Lakes Route will have definitely seen and experienced a sizeable bit of Switzerland. The route past the 16 lakes is naturally flat, but in between the water bodies you need to negotiate some gradients steep and gentle. An ideal route for the e-bike FLYER too (this can be hired from SwissTrails). |
