Ride through alpine landscapes with breathtaking views and a rich cultural heritage on your unforgettable bike tour across the Alps.
On our carefully planned routes—such as from Munich to Venice—you can expect a balanced mix of athletic challenges and relaxing enjoyment, combined with immersive experiences of nature and unique views. Each stage offers plenty of time to pause and fully savor the cycling experience.
A Variety of Routes for Leisure Cyclists
Cycling across the Alps doesn’t have to be an extreme sport! Our Alpine crossings are designed for cycling enthusiasts seeking relaxation and a connection with nature. Many of our routes follow well-maintained bike paths, through gentle valleys and along wide meadows. With an e‑bike, even routes with more elevation gain can be enjoyed at a relaxed pace. Whether with or without electric assistance—our Alpine crossings offer the perfect route for every cycling enthusiast. Compare our offerings in the easy-to-read table by difficulty level, total distance, elevation gain, and number of stages to find your perfect route.
All Alpine crossings include overnight stays at select Alpine lodgings, ensuring a restful evening and an even deeper immersion in the region.
Peak season and early booking
For a worry-free bike trip across the Alps, the trails must be easily rideable and free of snow and ice. The peak season for cycling trips in the Alps is therefore from July through September. Since there are only a limited number of good bike-friendly hotels where not only you but also your bike will be well taken care of (e.g., with bike storage, charging stations for e‑bikes, etc.), we recommend booking early. This way, you can secure your preferred dates and the best inns and hotels for a thoroughly enjoyable Alpine crossing.
A Journey That Transforms You
As you cross the Alps, you’ll experience the mountains from a completely new perspective. With every turn of the pedals, you’ll ride through breathtaking mountain scenery and gather memories that will stay with you for a long time to come. A journey that not only challenges you physically but also enriches you spiritually.
Every cycling trip through the Alps has its own unique character. Discover our diverse routes and find the tour that’s perfect for you.
