Aare Cycle Path

From Interlaken to Constance

Route

Tour profile:

The route is mainly along it’s own special cycle path or quiet regional roads. There are very few hills and the few that do exist are not very steep.

Day 1: Interlaken

Individual arrival in Interlaken. The town between Lake Brienz and Lake Thun is a popular starting point for trips to the Aare-ravine and the mountain world of the Berner Oberland.

Day 2: Interlaken - Thun - Bern + boat tour, approx. 35 km

The day begins with a boat trip on Lake Thun, before you cycle on to Bern. Goethe thought Bern was the most beautiful city in Switzerland. The old town is a world heritage site.

Day 3: Bern - Biel, approx. 50 km

Cycling along the Aare river and Lake Wohlen you will come to the bilingual town of Biel/Bienne. The Swiss watch-making industry made the town famous. In the Omega museum you can learn all about the industry.

Day 4: Biel - Solothurn, approx. 30 km

Today’s stage is only short, so you have enough time to enjoy the old town or the Lake. Solothurn is also a Canton capital city and is considered the most beautiful baroque city in Switzerland.

Day 5: Solothurn - Aarau, approx. 60 km

The Aare river, which by this stage is a powerful flow of water, marks the landscape. Villages and meadows line the way to Aarau, which still bears influences from the 16 th century and was once the capital city of the Helvetic Republic.

Day 6: Aarau - Waldshut -Tiengen, approx. 50 km

Bike along the Aare river until you reach Brugg. Then you will continue on by bicycle to Koblenz, where the Aare and Rhine meet (at this point the Aare is the bigger one of the two).

Day 7: Waldshut - Tiengen - Schaffhausen, approx. 65 km

Bike up the river and passing by the monastery Rheinau, which is worthwile for a visit. It was built in the 11th century and was the centre under the rules of the monastery. The closer you get to the Rhine Falls near Schaffhausen, you louder hear its noise. The beautiful town of Schaffhausen invites you for a walk.

Day 8: Schaffhausen - Constance/Kreuzlingen, approx. 50 km

Today you will cycle to Stein am Rhein with its many fresco-painted houses and from here on along the shores of Lake Constance towards Constance. The old episcopal town was during the Middle Ages the setting for the only council ever to be convened north of the Alps.

9. Tag: Constance/Kreuzlingen

    Aare River cycle route

    We enjoyed our trip very much, as we have other trips with Rad & Reisen. The hotels were all very satisfactory and the route was very scenic. The first half of day 2 was very difficult with hills but otherwise the route was quite manageable. We enjoyed ...

    A great adventure through Switzerland

    Weren’t sure what to expect from this tour, but it ended up being a fun way to explore parts of Switzerland we might not see--interesting villages, farm and agriculture areas, woods, lakes and parks, even some industry, as we traveled along the Aare River. ...

    Enjoyable cycling trip

    The hotels were wonderful - excellent quality and great breakfasts. The bikes were very good. I felt the directions to the hotels could use improvement to be more specific, for example, start at the bahnhof, follow bahnhof strasse for 200 metres, then ...

    Very nice holiday.

    We highly recommend Rad and Reisen. The route was very scenic and the route well marked. The difficulty was well placed at 1-2. The second day there were a few small hills where we walked the bikes, but none of the hills were too long. The accommodations ...
