Pedal Ventures
Nestled in the heart of southern Germany, Bavaria offers some of the most breathtaking cycling routes in Europe. With world-renowned climbs in the Bavarian Alps, it’s a haven for serious cyclists. That said, those seeking a more leisurely ride with stunning views won’t be disappointed either, as Bavaria caters to cyclists of all levels.
Sure, Germany has its fair share of beautiful spots, but Bavaria takes it up a notch with jaw-dropping alpine views, legendary climbs, welcoming locals and stunning architecture that’s unique to this region.
And let’s not forget the food and drink on offer here… there’s no better way to refuel than with a freshly baked pretzel or a classic Bavarian beer - usually served in a 1 litre stein glass!
The region has a lively party atmosphere, especially during festivals like Oktoberfest in Munich, the Frühlingsfest (Spring Festival), and countless local celebrations where food, music, and dancing go late into the night!
Despite this, Bavaria is just as popular with families, offering a perfect mix of activities for all ages. Popular family choices include paddleboarding, wildlife reserves, and alpine theme parks to keep the kids happy.
Bavaria’s weather is as varied as its landscapes, making it perfect for year-round cycling. Spring and autumn are great times if you want to cycle without breaking a sweat. Summer on the other hand can get pretty toasty, especially in the southern regions, but it’s nothing a cold beer can’t help with.
As for terrain, Bavaria is a playground for cyclists of all levels. If you prefer a laid-back ride, you’ll find plenty of flat, scenic paths around the Alpine foothills and beautiful lakes like Chiemsee. But if you’re craving a real challenge, the Bavarian Alps are ready to test your limits. Just remember - what goes up must come down, and that’s where the real fun begins!
Time to hop on your bike and experience Bavaria like never before. Our Bavarian bike tours are packed with epic routes, stunning views and more pretzels than you can handle! Whether you’re in it for the challenge or just here for the beer, we’ve got you covered.
“Bavaria is home to the world’s largest beer garden, the Hirschgarten in Munich, which can seat over 8,000 people at once!”

For mountain views and challenging climbs, the Bavarian Mountain Bike Trail is our top choice. For a mostly flat, relaxing experience, the iconic Romantic Road is your best bet.
Anywhere between late spring to early autumn brings good cycling weather, but if you’re going high up in The Alps, June to August is ideal, as the mountain trails are accessible.
You’ll find your usual accommodation, but you’ll also find many establishments are situated in historic buildings, such as former monasteries or castles. We’ve picked the ones that aren’t haunted…
