What defines riding in Aargau?

Aargau occupies the northeastern Swiss Plateau, shaped by the lower Aare River that gives the canton its name. Fertile plains, wooded hills, and vineyard slopes create varied terrain across its eleven districts, with Aarau as the canton's historic capital. Summers are warm, typically reaching 20–seasonal temperatures, making peak comfort months ideal for long rides.
