Amsoldingen - Rüeggisberg

This is a long and demanding stage that traverses a landscape of hills and deep valleys. It's a rough ride, with continuous ups and downs. The road crosses the Sense River, which marks the linguistic border between German-speaking Switzerland and French-speaking Switzerland. Arrival in Heitenried, a village in the canton of Fribourg, is a well-deserved rest after a day of great effort. This stage requires good physical preparation but rewards with spectacular landscapes.
