Infor­ma­ti­on about your bike tour with Feu­er und Eis Touristik

Ever­y­thing you need to know about your bike tour with Feu­er und Eis Touristik.

All details on the itin­era­ry, ser­vices, choice of dates, pri­ces and online boo­king can be found in the tour descrip­ti­on on our web­site. Our ran­ge of cycle tours includes 

- Indi­vi­du­al bike tours with lug­ga­ge transfer

> Long-distance cycle rou­tes
> Cir­cu­lar tours
> Star cycle tours (loca­ti­on hotel)

Our indi­vi­du­al cycle tour offer is sup­ple­men­ted by a gui­ded cycle tour vari­ant as a par­ti­al vari­ant of the Lake Con­s­tance-Königs­see cycle path from Lin­dau to Lake Tegern­see. In a small group (max. 15 par­ti­ci­pan­ts) you go on tour accom­pa­nied by an expe­ri­en­ced cycle guide.

Most cycle tour par­ti­ci­pan­ts opt for a tour opti­on with included lug­ga­ge trans­fer from hotel to hotel.

Our bud­get-fri­end­ly indi­vi­du­al tours wit­hout lug­ga­ge trans­fer do not include lug­ga­ge trans­por­ta­ti­on from hotel to hotel. Par­ti­ci­pan­ts do not want to miss out on com­for­ta­ble hotel accom­mo­da­ti­on and opti­mal­ly pre­pared stage descrip­ti­ons, but trans­port their lug­ga­ge in pan­niers on their bike or in a small ruck­sack and thus bene­fit from the lower tour pri­ce (ruck­sack option).

Arri­val / Return journey

You are respon­si­ble for your own arri­val and depar­tu­re — plea­se note the rele­vant infor­ma­ti­on in your tra­vel docu­ments. The­re you will also find infor­ma­ti­on on par­king spaces at your tour start­ing point. 

Whe­re can I park during the bike tour?

You will find infor­ma­ti­on on par­king faci­li­ties at the start­ing point of your tour in your tra­vel documents.

Note: It is gene­ral­ly not pos­si­ble to park your car at the tour start over­night hotel for the dura­ti­on of the cycle tour.

What does the mini­mum num­ber of par­ti­ci­pan­ts mean?

In order to be able to gua­ran­tee opti­mum qua­li­ty in terms of ser­vice and sche­du­le at an afforda­ble pri­ce, most of our tours are based on a mini­mum num­ber of par­ti­ci­pan­ts, which is sta­ted in the respec­ti­ve announce­ment. If the mini­mum num­ber of par­ti­ci­pan­ts is not rea­ched, we will inform you of pos­si­ble alter­na­ti­ves or can­cel­la­ti­ons at least 4 weeks befo­re the start of the tour (see also GTC). 

Can I bor­row bikes?

We can orga­ni­ze ren­tal bikes for you accor­ding to your wis­hes, we only need your size and weight. You just need to let us know whe­ther you want an e‑bike or trek­king bike. For some tours, the ren­tal bike boo­king is inte­gra­ted direct­ly into the online boo­king pro­cess; if no ren­tal bike offer is visi­ble, we will be hap­py to arran­ge this on request after your online boo­king. We will then inform you about the cos­ts and details of the ren­tal bike and also offer an optio­nal return trans­fer (pas­sen­ger and bike return trans­fer) for distance tours. 

Is it pos­si­ble to book addi­tio­nal over­night stays befo­re the start or at the end of the tour?

Addi­tio­nal nights befo­re the start or at the end of the tour can be boo­ked for all our tours (own tours). Addi­tio­nal nights can only be boo­ked befo­re and after the tour (direct­ly when boo­king online or on request after booking). 

Is it pos­si­ble to book addi­tio­nal nights during the hike?

On some sel­ec­ted indi­vi­du­al tours inclu­ding lug­ga­ge trans­fer, it is pos­si­ble to book addi­tio­nal over­night stays en route.

On our indi­vi­du­al tours wit­hout lug­ga­ge trans­fer, addi­tio­nal nights can gene­ral­ly be added at all stage desti­na­ti­ons. This allows you to plan your own rest days for well­ness tre­at­ments in the hotel or local explorations/small side­trip hikes (not boo­ka­ble via online boo­king, boo­king only pos­si­ble on request/by e‑mail).

Can I can­cel the trip if the wea­ther fore­cast for the time of tra­vel is bad?

The trip can no lon­ger be can­ce­led free of char­ge after the bin­ding boo­king, the cor­re­spon­ding can­cel­la­ti­on fees can be found in our terms and conditions.

The Alpi­ne regi­on is home to a wide varie­ty of cli­ma­te zones and micro-are­as, so the wea­ther is often not bad in all regi­ons at the same time, some­ti­mes it rains one day but the next the sun is shi­ning again.

Do you cycle in all weathers?

Our pro­grams take place in all wea­thers, whe­ther rain, snow or sun — the­re is no can­cel­la­ti­on due to wea­ther con­di­ti­ons. We recom­mend that you check the wea­ther con­di­ti­ons at the hotel in the mor­ning and choo­se an alter­na­ti­ve rou­te if neces­sa­ry. Of cour­se, we can­not give you a suns­hi­ne gua­ran­tee, but we are con­fi­dent that the best cycling wea­ther will pre­vail on your trip — just like you, of cour­se! Just in case, you should also take pre­cau­ti­ons for coo­ler days and occa­sio­nal rain show­ers with a rain or mul­ti­func­tion­al jacket (e.g. Gore­tex) and a chan­ge of clo­thes. Fur­ther equip­ment tips are enc­lo­sed with the tra­vel docu­ments. If you do not want to cycle for a day or pre­fer a trans­fer due to wea­ther con­di­ti­ons, we can orga­ni­ze a cab trans­fer for you on request (own costs). 

Which hotels do you stay in?

All Fire and Ice tours include accom­mo­da­ti­on in careful­ly sel­ec­ted hotels or inns in the 3 to 4‑star category.

Our stan­dards of qua­li­ty and ser­vice — under­li­ned by posi­ti­ve cus­to­mer reviews — are often matched by simp­ler estab­lish­ments with a gre­at deal of charm and typi­cal regio­nal cozi­ness, wher­eby we sub­ject the faci­li­ties and cate­ring ser­vices to con­stant qua­li­ty con­trol. You will recei­ve your per­so­nal itin­era­ry or hotel list with your tra­vel docu­ments approx. 14 days befo­re the start of the tour. 

We have also put tog­e­ther a SELECT offer for the best-sel­ling Lake Con­s­tance-Königs­see cycle rou­te, which includes accom­mo­da­ti­on in hotels in the 4‑star / 4‑star supe­ri­or cate­go­ry www.feuer-eis-touristik.de/select

Can I mana­ge every tour?

Basi­cal­ly, our tours are desi­gned for enjoy­ment, com­fort and light-hear­ted­ness, which can be mas­te­red by anyo­ne with a nor­mal basic level of fitness.

For all tour descrip­ti­ons you will find the respec­ti­ve level of dif­fi­cul­ty (num­ber of moun­tain icons) in the cata­log and on the web­site. Details on the indi­vi­du­al dif­fi­cul­ty levels can also be found at www.feuer-eis-touristik.de/schwierigkeitsgrad-rad

Many of our tours run in the foot­hills of the Alps or the Alps, so that various meters of ascent and des­cent have to be mas­te­red. Plea­se note that the rou­te pro­files in the foot­hills of the Alps and the Alps are much more deman­ding than iden­ti­cal flat­land kilo­me­ters. We can the­r­e­fo­re only make gene­ral recom­men­da­ti­ons — you must assess your per­so­nal fit­ness level indi­vi­du­al­ly. Howe­ver, we are sure that we have a tour to suit your abili­ties. You can find an over­view of our easie­st tours here: www.feuer-eis-touristik.de/leichte-touren

How does the lug­ga­ge trans­fer work?

On all indi­vi­du­al and gui­ded cycle tours “inclu­ding lug­ga­ge trans­fer”, we trans­port your lug­ga­ge con­ve­ni­ent­ly from hotel to hotel. This means you only cycle with a light day­pack and your suit­ca­se will be wai­ting for you when you arri­ve at the next hotel (usual­ly from 16:00). When you lea­ve the hotel, lea­ve your lug­ga­ge at recep­ti­on by 09:00 at the latest — our lug­ga­ge trans­fer part­ner will then take it to your next accommodation. 

Are the­re bag­ga­ge regulations?

On our tours, only 1 pie­ce of lug­ga­ge per per­son weig­hing max. 20 kg is gene­ral­ly per­mit­ted. If the pie­ce of lug­ga­ge is hea­vier, we reser­ve the right to make an addi­tio­nal char­ge. On request, an addi­tio­nal pie­ce of lug­ga­ge can be boo­ked for a fee at the time of boo­king. You will recei­ve all details on bag­ga­ge drop-off and return as well as lia­bi­li­ty infor­ma­ti­on in the event of bag­ga­ge dama­ge with your tra­vel docu­ments or under this link: “Lug­ga­ge regu­la­ti­ons”.

How do I find my way around?

Your tra­vel docu­ments include an infor­ma­ti­on fol­der with gene­ral infor­ma­ti­on about your indi­vi­du­al tour, a stage/route descrip­ti­on with maps or a hiking or cycling tour gui­de as well as hotel/transfer vou­ch­ers so that you are well pre­pared for your tour.

If you want, you can also use mobi­le navi­ga­ti­on on your smart­phone or GPS device — more infor­ma­ti­on at www.feuer-eis-touristik.de/gps-daten — Tip: Don’t for­get the hand­le­bar mount for your GPS device/smartphone!

For infor­ma­ti­on: When using navi­ga­ti­on apps such as Komoot or Out­door­ac­ti­ve, addi­tio­nal cos­ts may be incur­red for full use. 

Your tra­vel docu­ments are also available in a digi­tal ver­si­on so that you can access them direct­ly from your smart­phone. On request, we can also send you your per­so­nal tra­vel docu­ments by email in addi­ti­on to our tra­vel docu­ment packa­ge by post. In addi­ti­on to our paper stage descriptions/maps and hiking/cycling gui­de books, you can of cour­se also use an app navi­ga­ti­on system! 

Do I have to pay the resort tax?

For each stage of the tour, a spa/local tax is char­ged in most of the over­night accom­mo­da­ti­on loca­ti­ons, which must be paid at the hotel on depar­tu­re/check-out (usual­ly bet­ween € 1–4 per person/night).

Plea­se also note the “Included ser­vices” in the respec­ti­ve tour description.

Can spe­ci­fic diets / cate­ring requi­re­ments be cate­red for?

During the online boo­king pro­cess, you will also be asked about your die­ta­ry requi­re­ments. We will pass on this non-bin­ding die­ta­ry request (vege­ta­ri­an, vegan, lac­to­se into­le­rance) to all hotels. Plea­se note that any addi­tio­nal cos­ts (vegan) must be paid direct­ly on site.
