Switzerland’s


E-Grand Tour


Go green on the E-Grand
Tour of Switzerland, the
world’s fi rst long-distance
road trip for electric vehicles.
With ample electric car
rentals (including ultra-cool
Teslas) and more than 300
charging stations, the tour
is an easy and incredibly
scenic way to experience
eco-friendly travel.

As you cruise along the
clearly marked loop, see a
highlight reel of quintessential
Swiss sights: 5 Alpine passes,
12 UNESCO World Heritage
sites, 22 glassy lakes,
countless meadows and
mountains, and a collection
of vibrant cities and jewel-
box villages. Capture
Instagram-worthy pics at
the offi cial photo spots (look
for the outsized red frames)
and purchase a Grand Tour
Snack Box (refi llable on
the route) to munch on
cheeses,chocolates, and
other regional road foods.

Driving clockwise from
Geneva, here’s a sampling
of some of our favorite stops,
including a nearby photo
spot and Snack Box refi ll
site (with an example of a
taste-tempting local treat
to try). To plan your own
E-Grand Tour road trip,
