Trip Type: Self-Guided

The starting point for this hiking tour is Trieste, the former Habsburg seaport seated at the foothills of the Karst. During the Roman Empire, Trieste became a busy and rich port. After a few kilometers, you leave Italy and hike to Slovenia and Istria. This sunny peninsula in the Mediterranean Sea is characterized by little picturesque fisher villages, small towns on the Karst hills, vineyards and valleys. Let yourself be surprised by the charms of a landscape rich in contrasts and the various colours of Istria

A diversified bike tour with a start in the Mozart town of Salzburg leads you through the lovely Salzach valley, the wild romantic Gasteiner valley and the idyllic Drau valley to Villach, which is located in the sunny heart of Carinthia. A tour for real epicures, always accompanied from the great mountain range of the Alps, this route leads on comfortable tours towards the south of Austria. And it offers fascinating impressions, scenic highlights and culinary tastings. Those who cycle from Salzburg to Villach see and explore more: more river romance and great waterfalls, more picturesque old cities and old fortresses, more steep mountain peaks and deep canyons and of course more Salzburger Nockerl and Carinthian cheese dumplings! So, what are you waiting for? Follow the scenic, cultural, architectural and culinary tastings from Salzburg to Carinthia!

From the Alps to the sea! An inter-cultural composition consisting of Austria‘s impressive Alpine region and Italy‘s southern flair. On your bike you simply experience more: more romantic rivers and roaring waterfalls, more pretty historic town centres and defiant castles, more craggy mountain peaks and of course an increase in scenic, architectural and culinary delights. And last but not least: the Adriatic Sea.

The wild-romantic Loire is one of Europe’s last remaining unregulated rivers flowing through gently undulating terrain towards the Atlantic. This river accompanies the culture-enthusiastic cycling-holidaymaker following its course along the Loire-cycle path from Orléans until Saint Nazaire past magnificent palaces and blooming gardens taking you back into France‘s glorious past – and you are off into the heart of the royal cycling holiday bliss. Look forward to one of the UNESCO World Heritage sites, enjoy.

The Loire Valley – the quintessence of the romantic France! The rural charm of this region is in no way inferior to the cultural wealth of its cities. But of course, the castles on the river Loire are the reason, above all else, why this region is so famous. Kings, feudal lords and ladies of the court, seduced by the beautiful natural setting of the Loire Valley, had there, in the ‘garden of France’, several hundred castles, manor houses and dreamy residences built. Villandry, Langeais, Ussé, Chinon, Azay-le-Rideau, Chenonceaux, Chambord, Blois, just to name the most important ones. Each one of them would be worth a separate holiday, however together they truly display a one of a kind route of dreams as far as architecture and scenery is concerned. First class in every way.

Cycling in Madeira, does that work? Of course you have concerns about this too, seeing that the island is of course a well-known walking paradise! We can however assure you that it works very well! On wonderful panoramic roads, you will cycle around pretty much all of the island. In the places where it is too mountainous, our transfers will help you out. You can enjoy a summer-like climate here all year around as well as the exotic flora and fauna. On your way, you will find wonderful parks and gardens, still bays and spectacular cliffs. But you don’t miss out on culture on this tour either! This Portuguese island was already settled in the 15th Century in the centre of the Atlantic and left behind magnificent quintas and monumental fortresses. Spend a wonderful week on this flowery island! World Cultural Heritage site landscape, old sailor culture and above all the hospitable Madeirans will delight you!

Are you yet to travel to Umbria? If so, you are missing out for sure! Just like in Tuscany, Umbria’s better known neighbor, sunflowers grow wonderfully yellow, olive groves shine a gentle silver color, the grapevines are bright green and the medieval towns reign up on the hilltops. The main difference between Umbria and Tuscany is that Umbria is much more quiet, traditional and charming. Enjoy the many cultural and scenic highlights on this bike tour based in one hotel. Even the cuisine is exquisite in this region of Italy. Top quality wine and olive oil are produced here, the chocolate from Perugia is world famous and even truffles can be found in the Umbrian hills. This tour is sure to provide you with an unforgettable cycle holiday!

This tour starts and ends in two of the best-known cities of Italy. Between the cities you will cycle through almost undiscovered and therefore even more attractive landscapes. Kiwis, peaches, melons, grapes, and sunflowers accompany the cyclists on their way. Birds are singing while friendly fishermen wave at you from their stilt houses alongside the channels. Far away from the tourist crowds, the different destinations are waiting to be explored by you. Enjoy a cup of cappuccino in one of the cozy cafes at the attractive piazza and listen to the locals, when they discuss art, culture, sports, or politics while gesticulating heavily. Join their discussion! Come on the tour with us! A wonderful trip is waiting for you!

Discover a new side of Italy with us: quiet, sometimes almost mystical! On this tour you will see cities like Assisi, Perugia, Spoleto or Narni, which have incredible art treasures and carry visitors back into the Middle Ages. The overall appearance of the cities has hardly changed and the landscapes are harmonious and inviting. On generally isolated roads, the tour takes you through the valleys of the Apennines, over the softly curved hills of Lake Trasimeno and through the solitude of small Umbrian villages. Raging rivers, fascinating gorges and the flocks of sheep roaming through the countryside shape this part of Italy. Going by bike is one of the best ways to explore this area. You can smell the sweet odors, rest in a tavern and fortify yourself for the next stages. We cannot guarantee it, but the probability is high that Italy will welcome you with sunny weather. At the end of your trip, the “Eternal City” of Rome will welcome you. There, you can put your bike aside and enjoy the liveliness of the city and its people while drinking a cup of cappuccino or a glass of red wine. If you want to leave the stress of a hectic world completely behind you, then you will love this trip and keep lots of great memories from it.

This newly developed tour is a real treat for all cyclists! Staying in a wonderful hotel, you can discover a new highlight of the “Canavese” region every day. On your way, you will find historic castles, which have been waiting for centuries to welcome you. Natural lakes provide a welcome refreshment during an active day of cycling. Fine wines are produced in the vineyards, along the “Strada Reale dei Vini” – the royal wine route. Let yourself be tempted by one or two glasses of great Italian wine and follow the traces of the Franciscans on their way to Rome. There is a lot of variety in this region still largely undiscovered by tourists. After the tour you will agree with us – this trip is truly an insider’s tip!
