A unique blend of cycle touring and Swiss history, from Roman times to the Napoleonic Wars.
High Horizons in Switzerland is the second volume in a non-fiction series recounting my long-distance cycle tours across Switzerland, each route following a distinct historical theme.
Each chapter combines:
A detailed cycling itinerary through Switzerland's landscapes
In-depth exploration of Swiss cultural and historical contexts
Personal travel narrative grounded in rigorous historical research
From Roman alpine crossings to strategic Napoleonic routes, the book offers a rare perspective on Switzerland - experienced by bicycle and understood through its past.
Ideal for readers interested in cycling travel, Swiss history, and cultural exploration, this book is both a travel companion and a historical journey.
