Switzerland has so many rivers, large and small, running melted snow down from the alps into the valleys. Some rivers have wide multi-use paths used by bikes, joggers, strollers and even sometimes skates. Some rivers are more wild with only footpaths reaching the charms of the water. Here are a few of our favorites.

This bike and skating route follows a small river on paved path, mostly separate from traffic, in fields and forests, with a few sections in quiet neighborhoods. Lots of picnic areas and even a playground. Flexible distances from 4 to 20 km or longer. Accessible by train.
