Cycling Holidays

Our 7 night cycling package costs 550 Euro  per person based on 2 people sharing a double room

 

The lakes and mountains region of Austria has long been considered one of the most stunning places to take a cycling or walking holiday.  Cycle paths follow along side the lakeshores and river valleys before sweeping through meadows you thought only existed on the film set of The Sound of Music.  The reality is of course that the film was made in this area and the countryside has hardly changed since then.

Suggested itinerary

 

Day 1:  Transfer from Salzburg or Linz airport to our home. We will     introduce you to this beautiful region and provide local information and maps, then you will have the opportunity to explore the local area and maybe take a short ride to the Rindbach Waterfall.
 

 

Day 2:  A ride around the beautiful lake of Traunsee.  On your way you pass through the village of Traunkirchen with its' church jutting out into the lake, you continue along the lakeshore to Gmunden which offers great restaurants and coffee houses overlooking the lake with views of the Traunstein mountain.  When you are ready you can catch the ferry that brings you back to Ebensee.  (25km)
 

 

Day 3:  Take a country lane out of the village passing our local cable car and follow a small river to the lake of Langbathsee. This is one of the most stunning lakes in the area and is often used as a backdrop for TV adverts and films. You can take a swim in the crystal clear waters and relax on the lakeshore with a drink from the café.  From here you can either return to the village the same way or extend your ride by climbing on the forestry path over the mountain dropping back down the valley to lake Traunsee.  (20km or 35km)
 

Day 4:  Today you can really pamper yourself.  A short ride alongside the river Traun to the royal spa town of Bad Ischl.  Spend the day exploring the traditional Austrian clothing shops, indulging in some exquisite cakes at Café Zauner or simply relax in the waters of the thermal spa and maybe get a well earned massage. (24km)
 

 

Day 5:  Let the train take the strain for the first few miles today.  Take our local train to the historic town of Hallstatt, here you can visit the salt mines or perhaps take a tour through the Ice Caves at Obertraun.  Continue with the train or cycle through the Koppen gorge to the town of Bad Aussee before following Rettenbach valley back to the river Traun and back to Ebensee. (This can be a long cycle route of aprox 50km but can be made easier by taking the train.)
 

 

Day 6:  A relaxing day today takes you alongside a lovely river to the lake of Offensee.  Here you can relax on the beach and take a swim with some breathtaking scenery all around you(20km)
 

  Day 7:  Today you will start with me, your smiling chauffeur driving you and your bikes to the town of St Wolfgang. St Wolfgang is a must for tourists with its' cobbled streets and traditional gift shops.  You can take a ferry ride around the lake stopping at St Gilgen and Strobl before following the cycle path through flat farmland and once again along the river Traun to Ebensee.

Our cycling holidays offer you the chance to go at a pace that suits you and do as much or as little as you like and because we organise everything, you can start relaxing from the very first moment.  You will be able to choose from a variety of rides to suit your ability.  The itinerary above is merely a guide, you can of course take more time out to relax or indeed add in a few more miles of cycling if that is what you would prefer.

We have a variety of bikes and can offer childrens' bikes and tag-alongs too so no one need be left out.

We have also joined forces with two other English owned guesthouses to offer a three centre, nine night, catered, walking or cycling holiday within the beautiful Salzkammergut region. Airport pick up and luggage transfers all included. Click on the logo above for more details.
