HOW TO EXPERIENCE THE NORTH-VAUD REGION BY BIKE?
The Yverdon-les-Bains region is a rich and diverse playground for cycling enthusiasts. Its easy-to-access territory between the plains and the Jura offers unique cycling experiences. Numerous SwitzerlandMobility signposted routes, for both touring and mountain bikes, allow you to enjoy the region to the full. We also recommend some additional off-the-beaten-track experiences to help you discover Northern Vaud in a different way.
These few pages will give you a first idea from the comfort of your sofa! We'll be happy to welcome you to our Yverdon-les-Bains workshop (Hôtel de la Prairie) on your arrival, free of charge, to give you some last-minute advice and point you in the right direction for the activities you're looking for.
