OPTIONAL EXTRAS
Bavaria’s picturesque lake district unfolds with alpine peaks, historic villages, and crystal-clear waters, shaping a journey of serenity and romance. The Isar River winds from its wild mountain source past royal retreats and frescoed towns, while ever-changing landscapes create a dreamlike beauty.
Medieval charm and royal intrigue weave through this journey, from Munich’s grand avenues to the tranquil shores of Starnberger See, where Bavaria’s fairy-tale king met his untimely end. The route winds past the moody expanse of Murnauer Moos, the last great upland moor, before reaching the foothills of towering Zugspitze, Germany’s highest peak.
Hidden gems along the way bring the past to life – Mittenwald’s violin-making tradition still fills the air with music, the fjord-like Sylvensteinsee reflects the ever-changing sky, and the Bräustüberl Tegernsee carries on a 1,000-year-old brewing legacy.
With an average of 50 kilometers per day and 350 meters of elevation gain, this tour blends moderate cycling with a mix of lakeside paths, rolling foothills, and scenic climbs.
The most demanding ascent comes between Garmisch-Partenkirchen and Wallgau, while shorter days like Murnau to Garmisch-Partenkirchen provide a gentler ride.
You can expect paved cycle paths, quiet roads, and well-maintained gravel sections, making this journey ideal for leisure cyclists with a good fitness level.
Your holiday includes hand-picked accommodations, GPS tracks, a personalized digital itinerary, and full support, ensuring a smooth and stress-free journey from start to finish. With luggage transfers, you can focus on the ride while your bags await you at day’s end.
Our Bikes
To ensure the best possible experience on your cycling adventure, we offer top-quality bikes for rent. Our fleet features the latest models, meticulously maintained for both performance and comfort.
To match each rider with the right equipment, our team will also assist you in selecting the most suitable bike based on your physical profile, personal preferences, and the technical requirements of the tour.

Road Bikes
Best for: Paved routes, longer distances, and climbs
Our road bikes are lightweight, fast, and built for endurance. They typically feature carbon or high-quality aluminium frames, smooth gearing, and reliable components—often Shimano 105 or similar. Well-suited for long days in the saddle, they’re perfect for climbs, steady cruising, and covering serious distance on tarmac.

Trekking Bikes
Best for: Multi-day touring, relaxed pace, and varied surfaces
These high-quality trekking bikes are built for comfort over multiple days. They feature a relaxed riding position, smooth-rolling wheels, and often come with practical additions like an adjustable stem, rear rack, or mudguards. They're not necessarily built for speed, but more for enjoying the ride.

Touring E-Bikes
Best for: Comfortable trekking, touring, longer distances, and hilly routes
These pedal-assist electric bikes are designed to make riding easier and more enjoyable—especially on longer or hillier routes. They come with powerful mid-drive motors, long-lasting batteries, and comfortable riding geometry for smooth support across varied terrain. With intuitive controls and quality components, they’re a great choice for riders who want extra assistance without giving up the feel of a real ride.

Had a ball! We rode from Ljubljana to Bled via the mountains - 5 days/4 nights. Daja did a great job communicating with us and ironing out any hitches as soon as they were identified. E-Bikes were great (and v necessary!), accomm was great and the scenery was extraordinary! Being less fit, I wished I had opted for a days’ break at Lake Bohinj. My legs and butt would have appreciated it. Can’t wait to return and do another riding tour with this company!


We did the alps to the adriatic bike tour and let me tell you it was fantastic. The bikes were great, the organization of the company was great, the hotels they picked were (mostly) perfect. We honestly had a 10/10 experience. Our bags were in our hotel room every afternoon we arrived!! We had no issues, the app they use to give you information about your ride and help you get from point A to point B were extremely impressive. We never felt lost, or confused, or off track and we had zero cell service for the most part!!
