Bern–Zurich Mittelland Hills

Roll from Heimberg (Bern) to Zurich’s Lindenhof across the Swiss Mittelland. Expect a day of steady ups and downs—more rolling hills than alpine passes—with a healthy chunk of total climbing. The route links quiet country roads, bike lanes, and farm tracks; it’s mostly paved with a few gravel stretches, so 32 mm+ tires are a good shout.

You’ll weave past fields, tidy villages, and patches of forest, with occasional Alpine views on clear days. Services are frequent, so topping up water and snacks is easy. Traffic stays mellow for most of the ride; things get busier as you approach the city.

Finish right in Zurich’s historic core at Lindenhof. Ride west-to-east for a smooth roll into town, or reverse it if you want a punchier finale. Great for strong day trippers or a relaxed overnighter with a scenic Mittelland vibe.
