What Makes Eurobike Family Tours Special

Shared Experiences, That Bring You Together

Family-Friendly Routes

Our routes are designed so that children can manage them easily: mostly flat, wide, safe, and away from road traffic. Riverside cycle paths, lakeside routes, and low-traffic sections ensure that young cyclists can keep up comfortably – and parents can enjoy the day without stress.

Accommodations to Feel-Good

For families, we choose accommodations that offer more than just a bed and breakfast: plenty of space, family-friendly rooms, secure bicycle storage, and often extras like gardens, playgrounds, or pools. This allows children to play and parents to relax – the ideal way to end an active day.

Short, Easily Planned Stages

The daily distances are deliberately designed to allow plenty of time for breaks, spontaneous discoveries, and small adventures. Whether it’s a quick stop at a playground, a detour to a lake, or an ice cream in the next village – the stages leave enough room for what makes a family holiday truly special.

Adventures Along the Way

A family cycling holiday thrives on the experiences in between: refreshing swimming spots, exciting museums, wildlife parks, nature playgrounds, viewpoints, or small encounters along the route. This variety makes every stage engaging – turning the holiday into an experience that children and adults will remember for a long time.

Tips for Choosing the Right Family Cycle Tour

The Perfect Stage for Children

The perfect cycling holiday with children starts with carefully selecting the route. The children’s age and cycling experience play a key role. Overwhelming stages can quickly lead to frustration for children and stress for parents. That’s why at Eurobike we pay special attention to route selection, stage length, and the child-friendliness of each cycle path. This ensures a carefree holiday with the youngest family members!

Family-Friendly Cycle Paths

To make the ride enjoyable, routes should be mostly flat with only occasional small climbs. Riverside cycle paths such as the Danube Cycle Path, Moselle Cycle Path, or Adige Cycle Path routes are particularly suitable as they are slightly downhill and scenic. The Lake Constance Cycle Path and the Alpe-Adria Cycle Path are also ideal options for families. Small climbs can provide motivation but should remain the exception, so children are not overwhelmed.

Safe Routes for Children

The natural terrain is not the only important factor. When cycling with children, traffic safety is crucial. Busy roads create uncertainty and quickly reduce the fun of cycling. Ideal routes run away from heavily trafficked roads along well-developed cycle paths, such as our Danube Cycle Path for families, Linz – Vienna or the Adige-Cycle Path for families. If road sections are necessary, they should be low-traffic and clearly visible so that children can cycle safely.

Suitable Stage Lengths

In addition to the route, daily distances are crucial. Longer stages mean more time in the saddle and greater effort, so regular breaks and small adventures along the way are important. Daily stages of 15–45 km are manageable depending on fitness, with 30–35 km per day ideal for most active families. All Eurobike cycling holidays are categorized by difficulty level, so you can choose the right tour for your family.

Family-Friendly Accommodations

We have special requirements for accommodations on family cycling holidays: they should match the stage lengths and be near the route, provide secure storage for bikes, and have enough space for all bicycles. Smooth luggage transfers are also important. Additionally, for our family cycling holidays, accommodations are chosen to be particularly family-friendly, offering spacious rooms. Where possible, we book accommodations with swimming pools, playgrounds, or other extra facilities so children can fully enjoy their stay.

Adventures Along the Way

A family cycling holiday becomes perfect when there are plenty of highlights and adventures off the bike. Children have goals to look forward to, which provides extra motivation. Great swimming spots, like those along the Ten Lakes for families in Salzburg, turn a cycling holiday into a big adventure. Or at the end of the tour, an entire region full of play and fun opportunities awaits, as on our South Tyrol for families. Playgrounds, museums, and rich nature with various wildlife along the route ensure that every child has fun.

Note: In your travel documents, under “Things to See and Play”, you will find many tips for adventures that children can experience along the route.

Children’s Rental Bicycles

The right bicycle is essential for a successful cycling holiday. It should be road-safe, robust, and low-maintenance – and for children, the correct size is especially important to ensure easy pedaling, a comfortable seat, and safe handling.

We provide bikes and equipment suitable for children of all ages so the whole family can travel comfortably. This includes:

Children’s bikes with 21 gears (freewheel / 20 / 24 / 26 inches)
Child trailers for 1–2 children
20-inch children’s bikes + Follow-Me tandem attachment
