I've been wanting to do this trip for many years and it definitely did not disappoint. They made it so easy. All we had to do was show up ready. Everything else was already planned and waiting for us. We would do it again in a heartbeat!

Great experience, comfortable e-bikes and the app worked well as a navigational guide. Some of the hills are pretty big, so the e-bike was an essential. The small towns, villages and scenery were stunning,as were the Swiss culture, traditions & hospitality all the way along the ride. The standard of accommodation was very good and we particularly loved Gruyeres, the scenery, town and experience was superb. The Glassbach waterfalls & the grand hotel for lunch looking out over Brienzsee was spectacular.
