SWISS TOURER

Who we are​

SWISS TOURER is a new concept with the aim to pass on knowledge and experience to all those who would like to plan and carry out a bike tour of their dreams on their own.

We are based in the scenic Neuchâtel, Switzerland, where the SWISS TOURER bike shop is located and where most of the workshops take place. In the northern hemisphere winter months we plan to run workshops and tours in tropical countries.

SWISS TOURER is not a tour operator with a tourist guide and a fixed travel route, but helps their customers to plan and prepare their bike trip, so the can complete their jurney on their own in an individuel manner according their preferences.

She has helped to improve many aspects of SWISS TOURER courses, of course in particular those related to healthy eating.

After a severe illnesses and many surgeries, Angela has lost 24 kg in 4.5 months without ever feeling hungry because she has changed her diet. Angela's secret is not just her knowledge about nutrition, but above all because she puts her knowledge into practice with creativity, enthusiasm and commitment. At the end of the day, despite a diet that imposes severe restrictions, she is able to create sufficient diversity you never get bored.
