OPTIONAL EXTRAS
The Salzkammergut region is undeniably one of Austria’s most stunning areas, boasting an impressive collection of 76 subalpine lakes, each more breathtaking than the last and surrounded by majestic mountain peaks.
Salzkammergut Lakes Cycling Holidays combine glittering lakes with Salzburg’s historical charm, making a 7-day tour perfect for those seeking an active yet enriching escape.
The region’s pristine lakes, the majestic Attersee among them, reflect not just the mountains, but centuries of tradition, from imperial retreats, visited by Emperor Franz Josef, to local festivals. Besides cycling, the region offers endless opportunities for water enthusiasts and nature lovers.
Austria’s reputation for exceptional music and impeccable sense of culture also shines here, with Salzburg standing proudly as the birthplace of none other than Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. This UNESCO-listed city offers a mix of baroque elegance, lively streets, and rich musical heritage.
You will also visit charming villages like Schleedorf to experience traditional alpine hospitality or grab a slice of Austrian history at the iconic Café Zauner in Bad Ischl. The diverse route also passes several notable natural and historic landmarks, like Strubklamm Gorge, Ort Castle, and Schloss Hellbrunn.
Along the way, flexible detours are possible. The terrain is mainly hilly, keeping on the quiet side roads and forest cycle paths. There are only a few short sections on roads with more traffic. Averaging around 50 kilometers per day makes it suitable for cyclists of all skill levels, including families and beginners.
Carefully designed for a hassle-free experience, the tour includes a fully mapped route with detailed directions, prearranged accommodations, convenient luggage transfers, and reliable customer support. Perfectly tailored for a joyful experience.

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!!
