Mittelland Route – Kloten to Aarau

03:53

63.9km

370m

Cycling

Admire giant aircraft taking off, enjoy views of the raised moor at Katzensee, birdwatch, and swim: all this awaits you on this tour from lake to lake and through nature. At the starting point, the planes will be impressive at Switzerland's largest airport. For all the experiences along the way, you should plan plenty of time and plenty of breaks, including picnics, swims, and barbecues.

If you want to split the tour into two stages for a great family weekend experience, the lovely Baden halfway through is a great place to stay overnight. The tour then continues along the Aare River to Aarau, a lovely route with plenty of opportunities for a quick refreshment before this short break concludes with a snack or ice cream.
