Gita in bici di un giorno da Fiesch a Andermatt

Ready for a Swiss Alps adventure? This route starts in Fiesch, a charming Valais village known for its panoramic views of the Aletsch Glacier—a UNESCO World Heritage site. Expect a mix of surfaces, from smooth asphalt to gravel and forest tracks, so a gravel or trekking bike is recommended.

Heading north, you’ll gradually climb through lush valleys and alpine meadows, with just over 900 meters of ascent in total. The journey weaves through secluded cycleways and quiet mountain roads—only a tiny portion is on busier streets, so you can really soak in the scenery. About 41% of the route’s surface is unclassified, promising a little off-the-beaten-path excitement.

As you roll into Andermatt, you’ll find yourself in one of Switzerland’s most iconic mountain towns, at the crossroads of historic alpine passes like the Furka and Gotthard. Andermatt is a classic base for cyclists and hikers alike.

Bring snacks, enjoy the epic mountain views, and get ready for that well-earned descent toward Andermatt’s welcoming cafés!
