Description

Day 1: Lienz

Individual arrival in Lienz and luggage accommodation at the hotel. Located in the heart of Eastern Tyrol and at the confluence of the Isel and Drava rivers, this region boasts the title of being the sunniest holiday area in Austria with two thousand hours of sunshine per year. The breathtaking panorama that opens onto the Alps and the Dolomites of Lienz will give you a first taste of the enchantment that this trip promises.

Day 2: Lienz – San Candido – Lienz (45 km) + train

The day begins with a comfortable train journey from Lienz to San Candido, which will immerse you in the warmth of the Alpine valleys. Here, the young Drava river winds burbling through the Puster Valley. Majestic fortresses, castles and palaces tower over the valley, telling stories of wealth and power from yesteryears. Along the route, modest Romanesque chapels, Gothic and Baroque churches, enriched with crucifixes and votive columns, invite you to brief stops. The imposing presence of the Lienz Dolomites dominates the landscape, making this stage an unforgettable memory.

Day 3: Lienz – Berg (35 km)

Starting from Lienz, where the Isel and Drava rivers join, you will once again follow the course of the Drava. The latter presents itself in a shade of gray, nicknamed "glacial milk" by locals, due to the microscopic particles of rock that come from the imposing surrounding mountains. The route will guide you along ancient Roman trade routes, passing through ruins, castles, small churches, and crosses at the roadside, offering you a unique perspective on the history that pervades these lands. The discovery continues in the picturesque valley of Oberdrautal, with its charming villages, where every turn unveils new wonders.

Day 4: Berg – Spittal (45 km)

Your journey today takes place mainly along the Drava river, crossing the splendid Carinthian countryside, a living painting of forests, fields, ancient farms and small villages. The cozy wine taverns, known as 'Buschenschenken', will become your oasis, offering you the opportunity to savor the real flavors of the land. As you pedal beside farmhouses adorned with flowers, you will reach Spittal an der Drau. Here, a charming old town and Porcia palace, a jewel of Renaissance architecture, will take your breath away with their incomparable beauty and historical wealth.

Day 5: Spittal – Villach (40 km)

Today's stage leads you through the "Cultural Promenade of Upper Carinthia", leaving behind the Spittal area to immerse yourself in an ancient scenery of green meadows, lush forests, and idyllic wetlands. As you approach Villach, the landscape changes, revealing the charm of an ancient city with a distinctive Italian flair. Cozy pubs and inviting restaurants promise moments of real relaxation and culinary delight. The Drava river, with its winding course through Villach, adds a touch of natural elegance to this charming urban scene, making every moment spent here a perfect fusion of nature and culture.

Day 6: Villach

After breakfast, end of services and individual departure. Possibility to extend the stay.

🙋 Frequently asked questions

Can I bring my own bike?
Of course! You can participate in any tour with your own bicycle or rent one. However, we recommend renting because not all spare parts are the same, and only with our bikes can we guarantee the best mechanical assistance.
What kind of assistance will I have during the trip?
You will always have an emergency phone number to refer to. In self-guided trips, you should be able to perform minor repairs, like replacing a tube in case of a puncture, or fixing a dropped chain, but you can always count on local assistance for more serious breakdowns.
How do I know if a tour is within my capabilities?
We classify tours on a scale from 1 to 5 based on length, elevation, and complexity of the itinerary, but if you have doubts, contact us and we will help you find the most suitable journey for you.
What is the cost of renting bicycles?
The rental cost varies depending on the bicycle model and the duration of the tour. For some tours, we offer the possibility to rent different types of bicycles. During the purchase process for each route, you will be asked to indicate your preferred bike type and the corresponding price will be shown, so you can choose freely and without surprises.
Are rented bikes equipped with accessories like lights or bags?
Yes, rented bicycles are equipped with all necessary accessories to comply with road traffic regulations (lights, bell, etc.). A lock, repair kit, and a bag to carry everything you need for a day in the saddle are always included in the rental. Additionally, we offer the option to request extra accessories based on your needs.
