Holiday Information

A gently-paced, self-guided, family cycling holiday in Germany exploring the lakes of Bavaria. Enjoy your time cycling through tranquil, secluded valleys and lush alpine scenery with the ever-present dramatic backdrop of the Karwendel massif. Suitable for families with older children, with only a few short climbs where you can walk if you wish.

On a combination of cycle paths and quiet roads you meander along lake shores and through valleys with unspoilt natural beauty. Cycling through various ancient, picturesque Bavarian villages and towns, such as the richly decorated towns of Bad Tolz and Fall, will give you an insight into the local traditional way of life. Your ride will take you along the River Loisach through the Murnauer Moos nature reserve to the Winter Olympic Games town of Garmisch Partenkirchen. Here you can leave your bikes behind and take a cable car up Germany’s highest mountain, Zugspitze, from where there are breath-taking views of the surrounding Alps. Contact us with your preferred dates and let Skedaddle show you the best way to enjoy a cycling holiday with your family in Germany. If you're planning on cycling in Bavaria without children then take a look at the self-guided leisure version of the tour where you may find the information more relevant to your needs.

Holiday Feedback

Really enjoyable holiday!

The holiday was really enjoyable in a region we had never visited before, each day brought different stunning views and we had fabulous weather too! Much to explore and visit in the area after the cycling. Skedaddle were always very prompt and very helpful and it was reassuring to know they were contactable during the holiday if it proved necessary. We were very pleased with the hotels and each day brought varied and fabulous scenery.

Couldn't ask for more from Skedaddle

The service provided from Saddle Skedaddle was excellent, with immediate responses to any questions I had – I couldn’t ask for more from them. The Garmisch-Partenkirschen to Fall day was amazing and particularly stands out.

Fantastic Holiday!

Loved the first day… The Starnberger See and the countryside were wonderful and arriving in Murnau’s cobbled street in the evening with people sitting out at the restaurants was magical! What impressed us every day was how varied the scenery was during each day, from woods and forest paths to Alpine meadows and farms, to lovely towns and villages , river banks and lakes. We were never bored!
