I've got a week off at the end of July, and I'm gonna do a mini trip down the Rhine and into the Alps.
I'm starting in Frankfurt, and I've got a train booked out of Geneva a full 7 days later. My plan is to follow the Rhine down to Basel (which is 350km so should only take about 3 days), and then I'm keen to spend the other 4 meandering my way to Geneva...
Can anyone suggest an interesting route from Basel > Geneva, or some interesting things I should see in that part of Switzerland? The direct route (according to Google Maps) is only 250km with limited hills, so I'm keen to make it longer and to explore the mountains a bit. Baring in mind I'll have a fully loaded bike, I don't plan to do too many switchback climbs, but I was also thinking of checking myself into a campsite for a night so I can ride up without luggage... Also considering taking a rest day somewhere, if there's a spot along the way that I should spend good time in.
