The luxury ski resort of St. Moritz will give you a warm welcome and spoil you with culinary delights before you set off on your eventful journey to the Golden Roof.

Useful information about cycling holidays in Switzerland

The Swiss climate

The climate in Switzerland is strongly influenced by the Alps, but also by the Atlantic. In winter in this country you can sometimes find arctic cold in the mountains, but the lowlands have a rather humid and mild climate. You don’t always find snow in the lowlands. Spring is generally the way it should be, namely mild, warm and sunny – but April can always surprise you with a cold snap. From May onwards the temperatures shoot up. Expect temperatures between 25 and 30 degrees in the summer months! We think it’s ideal cycling weather! Such is life, you can always be lucky or unlucky with the weather!

Swiss cuisine

As different as the languages and weather is in Switzerland, you can of course also find different influences in Swiss cuisine. German-influenced dishes can be found here on the menu as well as dishes from French and northern Italian cuisine. The absolute highlights and world-famous dishes certainly include the Rösti, the famous cheese fondue and of course the most popular New Year’s Eve dinner, raclette. Swiss cheese is popular all over the world, especially Emmentaler and Gruyère. But those with a sweet tooth will also get their money’s worth in Switzerland. Schweizer Schokoloade, also known as Schoggi, is a protected designation of origin. Hardly any other nation in the world is as good at creating brown-sticky sin as the Swiss. The only thing left for us to do is to wish you a good trip and bon appetite!

Did you know…

  • …that in Switzerland you are never more than 16 kilometres from a lake? Because Switzerland has more than 1500 lakes! Impressive, isn’t it?
  • …that the average Swiss consumes more than 10kg of chocolate every year? No wonder, with chocolate you just can’t resist!

  • …why is Switzerland abbreviated as CH? They are the first letters of the Latin name Confoederatio Helvetica.
  • …that, strictly speaking, Switzerland does not have a head of state? The Swiss Federal President chairs the meetings of the Federal Council, which collectively performs the tasks of a President.
