Our challenging cycling holidays are best suited to seasoned leisure cyclists who ride regularly, don't mind a few climbs and are happy to take on distances of up to 100km per day. On a typical challenging cycling holiday you will be spending around 5 hours a day in the saddle. E-bikes are an available option on these holidays.
Many of our challenging routes are actually 4 or 5 night, condensed versions of more relaxing itineraries. For instance, our challenging, 5 night, Passau to Vienna Cycling Break along the Danube, covers the same distance as the 7 night, Passau to Vienna Cycling Holiday but in just 4 cycling days as opposed to 6.
If you cycle regularly and feel comfortable riding for 80+km on reasonably level terrain, then our challenging holidays will be right up your street.
Leisure cyclists should consider combining these challenging routes with an e-bike rental as the extra assistance provided brings these routes well within the capabilities of everyday riders.
Our Passau to Vienna Cycling Break covers the most popular stretch of the Danube in just 4 cycling days on level, riverside cycle paths. Along the way you’ll see the Danube Loop at Schlögen, the city of Linz, the baroque town of Grein, the sublime wine villages of the Wachau Valley, the medieval town of Krems and of course the Imperial City of Vienna.

New for 2024: This sporty 5 night version of our popular Salzburg to Adriatic Cycling Holiday covers the same route but over four cycling days instead of the usual six. You'll be averaging 100km per day, mostly on cycle paths, through stunning alpine scenery as you follow the Alpe-Adria cycle path from Salzburg in the Austrian Alps to the Italian resort of Grado on the Adriatic coast.
