Centre-based tour

Comfortable cycling holiday with a fixed hotel base

Our ‘star-shaped’ cycling tours are the ideal choice for anyone who wishes to enjoy a relaxed cycling holiday without changing accommodation every day. With this type of trip, you stay in one selected hotel throughout your h while holiday, setting out on a cycle tour in a different direction each day. In this way, star-based tours combine comfort, flexibility, and active relaxation in a uniquely enjoyable way. Unlike the classic ‘point-to-point’ cycling tours, you simply return to your starting point after each stage which saves the time you would otherwise have to spend on re-packing each day and thus ensures a stress-free experience. At the same time, you will still discover a variety of landscapes, interesting cultural sights, and regional highlights. And all this is well organized and individually enjoyable.

The Danube Cycle Path is considered to be one of the most well developed and most frequently used long-distance cycling routes in Europe. The mainly flat terrain of these routes has particular appeal for leisure cyclists, families, and e-bike riders. From a comfortable hotel base, you can enjoy a variety of daily stages along the river. The route leads through idyllic floodplain forests, past vineyards, and through historic towns. Highlights include the Wachau Valley with its steeply sloped vineyard terraces, the baroque Melk Abbey, and the charming old towns of Linz and Krems.

The combination of crystal-clear lakes, breathtaking mountain panoramas, and well-developed cycle paths creates the perfect conditions for a varied and memorable cycling holiday. From a centrally located hotel, you can explore a number of different lakes such as Lake Wolfgang, Lake Attersee, or Lake Traunsee.
