5. The Swiss Plateau
The Swiss Plateau is one of Switzerland’s three major landscapes, nestled between the Jura Mountains and the Swiss Alps. The terrain is mostly hilly but does not reach more than 700 meters. As the country’s most densely populated region, it serves as Switzerland’s economic hub and a key transportation corridor. To explore it, you can set out on a family-friendly Mittelland Route from Zurich to Lausanne.
Switzerland – Where Nature Calls You Back
Switzerland may be small, but it is packed with breathtaking nature and unforgettable sights. Home to 1484 lakes, 140 glaciers, and 12 UNESCO World Heritage sites, its beauty knows no bounds. The iconic Alps dominate the landscape, boasting 48 peaks soaring over 4000 meters, while the Swiss Plateau or Mittelland stretches along the country’s east-west axis.
Switzerland’s natural diversity extends to its borders, with the Rhine marking much of the northern boundary with Germany, Lake Constance forming part of the eastern border with Germany and Austria, and Lake Geneva defining a section of the southwest border with France.
With such varied landscapes, Switzerland bike tours cater to all – from leisurely rides through picturesque countryside to challenging alpine adventures for thrill-seekers. Beyond nature, Swiss cities like Zurich, Geneva, and Lausanne are rich in culture and history, offering even more to explore within easy reach.
