About riding in Switzerland
Switzerland has some of the world's most scenic and demanding road climbs, with long alpine passes and well-maintained roads. High passes are usually clear only from late spring to early autumn, and weather can turn cold quickly at altitude.
Estimated finish times
The route is about 166 miles. Here is the moving time at a steady average speed. It is a flat-ground baseline: climbing, wind, stops at aid stations and group riding all move the real number, so treat it as a starting range.
| Average speed | Moving time |
|---|---|
| 10 mph | 16h 35m |
| 12 mph | 13h 50m |
| 14 mph | 11h 51m |
| 16 mph | 10h 22m |
| 18 mph | 9h 13m |
Most recreational riders average 12–16 mph on rolling terrain in a group, and less on hilly routes.
