Open Doors for cyclists

Dear Cyclists

Swiss Backpackers offer both you and your bike easy-going and safe accommodation on a budget, with a covered & securely locked space for your bicycle overnight.

We provide facilities for washing and drying your clothes and gear.

If your bike has slightly suffered during your trips we have tools and air pumps available to get all set and ready for the next tour.

Reception at your Swiss Backpackers hostel provides all vital information such as bike rental in town and bicycle repair and service stations.

We also help with maps and explanations of local and regional cycling paths, as well as train, bus and boat timetables to get you back home after a long day of active cycling.

Switzerland offers mountains, lakes and lots of untouched nature, which is waiting to be discovered by you.

Have fun and see you soon in one of our hostels!
