If a cycling holiday in Switzerland’s lakes and mountains appeals, but the very thought brings you out in a hot sweat, here’s the answer.
Cycling holiday specialists, Headwater, have introduced e-bikes in the Swiss Jura region so that even the most inexperienced and least fit cyclists can drink in the fresh air and stunning scenery with less gasping and more gawping.
The lightweight Bike Tek Swiss Flyer e-bikes have a battery which kicks in with 80% more power when faced with inclines or strong winds. You can cover twice the distance with half the effort as you take in the beauty of Neuchatel and other picturesque towns, vineyards, chateaux, mountain scenery and nature reserves.
An 8-night holiday costs from £1,147 pp including B&B hotel accommodation in an eclectic mix of 3* and 4* hotels, 4 evening meals, transportation of your bags from hotel to hotel, route notes and, of course, your e-bike with 2 batteries. If some of your party prefer to use 100% peddle power, the cost is from £978 including a top-notch 21-speed bike. Click here for more details – flights to Zurich are not included.
For an idea of how easy e-bikes are to master, we found this clip on YouTube – complete with cheesy yodelling. Our advice – don’t forget to charge the battery in your hotel room each evening.
