Cyclosportives in the Canton of St. Gallen

The canton of St. Gallen is an ideal mosaic for road cycling. To the north, the shores of Lake Constance unfold miles of flat road between Rorschach and Rheineck, while the Alpine Rhine plain runs south all the way to Sargans 🚲. Further west, the roads of the Toggenburg wind between meadows and wooden farmhouses up to the Wildhaus pass. Along the lake, continuous cycle paths also welcome recovery rides, far from traffic.

For a cyclosportive in the canton of St. Gallen, the good season runs from May to September. The föhn wind sometimes blows through the Rhine valley and turns a leisurely ride into a time trial against the wind 💨. Between the Wildhaus pass and the balcony roads above Lake Walenstadt, climbers have plenty to work on without leaving the canton.

On Finishers, the canton's cyclosportive calendar revolves around the Bodensee Radmarathon, which starts from Thal on September 11, 2027 with routes from 80 to 300 km. For more extreme riders, the Race Across Switzerland sets off from Klosters, in Graubünden, on July 21, 2027. The cyclosportives in Graubünden and the cyclosportives in the canton of Zurich open up other horizons, not to mention the gravel races in the canton of St. Gallen 🗓️.

In St. Gallen, embroidery made the city's fortune at the turn of the 20th century, and its lace still adorns haute couture runways 🧵. Cyclists especially enjoy the terraces of the old town, where the grilled sausage is still ordered without mustard. Whether you're a climber, a rouleur, or a long-distance adventurer, choose your route and head for the lakeshore 😎. Visible from most of the roads in the canton, the Säntis will serve as a constant landmark during the long hours in the saddle.
