Quick ride by bicycle from Aarau to Kölliken

Starting from Aarau, the charming cantonal capital known for its beautiful old town and iconic gabled houses, this short ride will take you south to Kölliken, a quiet village nestled in the Aargau hills. The route covers just under 9 km, so it’s perfect for an easy morning or post-work spin.

You’ll roll mostly along quiet country roads—great for soaking up the scenery without fighting traffic. There’s a gentle climb along the way (nothing too dramatic!) and the landscape alternates between farmlands and small stretches of woodland. Surfaces are mainly paved or asphalt, though there are occasional sections where the surface might get a bit rough, so city or hybrid tires are recommended.

Arriving in Kölliken, you’ll find a peaceful spot surrounded by fields and forest. If you have time, check out the Roman history museum nearby, or just relax at one of the local cafés. All in all, a mellow ride connecting two classic Swiss towns.
