Switzerland in May: Geneva-Lausanne-Neuchâtel-Biel-Delémont

[jamesgilbert]

Hi all,

I haven't posted on here in a while, I'm currently looking at doing a short tour in Switzerland, over a week in May.

The route would be something like this: https://cycle.travel/map/journey/59601

It's mostly flat but with a few hills to get back to the French border as I'd like to get the train home from Montbéliard. I will be camping and towing a small child in a trailer, so may take a train to avoid some of the steep bits, especially just after Biel.

I'd be interested in any nice campsites, things to see, alternative route suggestions as I've never really cycled in Switzerland. Thanks!

No-one replied but I thought I'd post the final route that I did over 6 days last week: https://cycle.travel/map/journey/62016

We used WarmShowers for three nights, and had three nights on campsites. The only campsite I'd recommend is the camping municipal in Joncherey, near Delle ( https://joncherey.fr/category/camping/ ) - good value, friendly, and free eggs from the free-range campsite hens!

I was impressed by the cycle route signage in Switzerland, we barely needed a map and never got lost. Most of the route was on quiet roads; there were several sections off-road with some surprisingly rough surfaces in places. Overall I'd definitely recommend the route which has varied scenery and goes through some interesting towns.

Thanks for that - fraid didn't see your original posting otherwise I might have had some input for you.

Glad you had a good time
