Bicycle tours
Bicycles are the ideal mode of transport for discovering previously unexplored regions while also doing something for your health. Cycling not only allows you to commune with nature on traffic-free forest paths or alongside winding streams and rivers, it also takes you to places that invite you to linger. You can find some interesting suggestions at SchweizMobil or EuroVelo.Camping holidays
Whether young or old, alone or with the whole family, camping remains enormously popular.
