Cycling Spots around Vaud

Swiss Jura Mountains

Are you looking for a long climbing day? La Vallée de Joux and La Côte is the answer. From L’Aiguilon to La Barillette, you will find all what you want.

Are you a fan of Philippe Gilbert or training for a race in the Ardennes? Le Gros de Vaud is the terrain that you need. If you are lucky enough, you will even have a pleasant headwind and a bit of rain on your way.

Have you ridden all the Cycling Spot’s climbs and want to take a break. A nice and flat coffee ride in the area of Lausanne and Montreux will make your day. If so, don’t miss the famous Corniche that the Tour de France’s riders used during the 9th Stage of the 2022 edition. Riding in the vineyards overlooking the lake and a gorgeous view on the mountains will leave you speechless.

In brief, whatever is your daily cycling goal, starting in the Canton de Vaud will always meet your wishes.

Travelling in Summer

One thing that is great with cycling holidays is that you are mobile. So, the region is small enough to find a nice location in a “remote area” (e.g. Val de Travers, Vallée de Joux, Franches Montagnes).
