Quick ride by bicycle from Kölliken to Aarau

This mellow ride takes you from the peaceful village of Kölliken to the lively town of Aarau. Starting in Kölliken—nestled in the canton of Aargau and known for its picturesque landscapes—you’ll cruise mostly along quiet roads through gentle countryside. With just a touch under 9 km to cover and a mostly paved surface, the route is well-suited for a relaxed ride.

There are a few ups and downs, but nothing too dramatic—expect a gentle ascent at the start, followed by a longer, breezy descent as you approach Aarau. The ride is mainly on quiet roads and rural tracks, so you can really enjoy the scenery (maybe spot some farmland and forests along the way). There’s very little time spent on busy roads.

Aarau, your destination, is the vibrant cantonal capital and is famous for its beautiful old town, colorful house eaves ("Dachhimmel"), and riverside promenades. Once you roll in, it’s the perfect spot for a coffee or to explore some Swiss town charm!
