Bikepacking from Meiringen to Andermatt

Get ready for an epic Swiss cycling adventure! Starting in Meiringen, a charming town famous for Sherlock Holmes lore and its stunning Reichenbach Falls, this route takes you deep into the heart of the Alps, finishing in the picturesque mountain village of Andermatt. You’ll cover just over 200 km, with some serious climbing: expect over 6700 meters of ascent—your quads will feel it!

The ride is mostly on quiet roads and paved cycleways, with stretches of gravel to keep things interesting—pack a spare tube just in case. You’ll wind through scenic valleys, roll past alpine pastures, and climb your way over legendary mountain passes. The route’s highest point tops out around 1450 meters, so those views will be worth every pedal stroke.

Give yourself plenty of time to soak in the landscape and take breaks in quaint Swiss villages along the way. Once you reach Andermatt, kick back and enjoy the well-earned mountain air—the town is a hub for outdoor sports and history buffs alike. This route is a real treat for adventurous cyclists looking for challenge and jaw-dropping scenery!
