Carefully selected routes

IDEAL FOR FAMILIES

The main thing is that your children enjoy riding bikes, which is usually the case. Unless they get overwhelmed. This is why extra care is taken when choosing the appropriate route for your family cycling holiday: with our family cycling holidays there are very few or no ascents at all and the routes are on cycling paths suitable for children or roads with especially little traffic. Each stage is slightly shorter compared to cycling holidays for adults only. That way there is always enough time left for breaks and adventures off the route. This is by the way what sets us apart from many other cycle holiday companies, who often simply offer family holidays as cycling holidays for adults with an easier level of difficulty and do not cater in detail for the needs and requirements of families.

Family-friendly accommodations

Accommodations for our cycling holidays with children have to meet special requirements: they have to suit the length of each tour and be situated near the route, there needs to be secure storage and ample space to leave numerous bikes. A smooth performance of the luggage transport is hence very important. In addition our selected accommodations for our family cycling holidays are especially family-friendly and feature spacious rooms. If possible we book accommodations for families with a swimming pool, playground or any other additional facilities for families, which allows your children to really enjoy their stay.

Adventure en route

Not only children but also adults want to experience a great time when on holidays. With our family cycling holidays we particularly focus on adventure en route geared especially for families: amusement parks, high rope courses, places for bathing, playgrounds, museums, themed paths and many more. That way we ensure that there is the perfect adventure for each family member to enjoy. Especially fantastic activities are already included in the price of several cycling holidays – please find details with individual respective holidays.

Rental bikes for children

Apart from bicycles and electric bicycles for adults featuring best quality and comfort of renowned KTM-brand quality-bikes, we also offer suitable childrens bikes for any age for a successful cycling holiday. For your children we offer the following choices:

Childrens bikes 21-gears (freewheel / 20 / 24 / 26 inches)
Tag-alongs (freewheel / 20 inches)
Child transporter for 1 to 2 children
Childrens Bike 20 inches + Follow-Me

Travel documents for families

PLUS TIPS FOR ACTIVITIES

Just like with all of our other cycling holidays the tried and tested travel document package is also included in our family holidays. It contains detailed maps, a route book, city maps & further info. Special feature: in the route book under ‚Points of Interest and Play‘ you find lots of hints and tips on adventures for your children to experience en route. This guarantees fun for the entire family!

Rental bike insurance

You would like to rent a bike for your family cycling holiday? No problem – it even includes rental bike insurance!
