The Alpine Ascent is the longer of the two set tours: seven days total, five of them riding, covering 500km and 12,000m of elevation. It strings together legendary Swiss climbs with quieter roads the operators know from living there. The 2027 departure is Saturday 11 to Saturday 18 September, priced at CHF4,900 per person.

The Andermatt Icons tour is five days with three riding days, 300km and 8,500m of climbing, built around one of Switzerland's best-known cycling regions. There are three 2027 departures: Monday 28 June to Friday 2 July, Wednesday 21 to Sunday 25 July, and Friday 13 to Tuesday 17 August. It costs CHF3,500 per person.

If neither fixed date works, the custom tour is built around your goals, ability and timing. You agree the route and the dates with the team, and they put the itinerary together — the page describes it as 100% tailored and fully supported, with flexible dates.

Support is the same across all three: hand-picked hotel accommodation, airport transfers, route planning, logistics, lunch and refreshments, and a vehicle on the road with you. That means you ride with a light bike and don't spend the evening working out where tomorrow's food comes from.

Andermatt itself is the hub. It's an easy trip from Zurich Airport, and the passes start from the village — including the Tremola, the old cobbled road up the Gotthard, which guests single out. Swiss roads hold up well even high up and far out, which is part of why the riding here is so good.
