Holiday Information

Explore Lake Constance on this self-guided family cycling holiday designed for those looking to ride at a leisurely pace and enjoy lots of fun-filled activities along the way. This is a cycling classic taking in three countries in the heart of Europe; Austria, Switzerland & Germany - each of which add their own special mark to this idyllic region.

Lake Constance enjoys a mild climate and plenty of sunshine making it a great summer cycling destination. You'll be following the sandy shores of the lake and winding through the many vineyards and orchards that stretch down to the water's edge.

The cycling mainly follows a mixture of flat, traffic-free cyclepaths and roadside cycling lanes, making it perfect for those looking for a relaxed holiday with time to take in the various highlights of the region; the UNESCO world heritage site of the Island of Reichenau and butterfly house, as well as playparks and the ammusement park at Ravensburger all contribute to making this a holiday not to be missed.

Holiday Feedback

We can't wait to go again...

The cycling and service provided was excellent, as well as all the hotels being clean, comfortable and relaxing. Also, we loved the ferry trips and the Pfander cable car, which is a must!

We can’t wait to go again on another Saddle Skedaddle holiday!

The quality of the package was consistent with our expectations...

Meersburg to Friederichschafen(day 3) in particular was a great day. All hotels we stayed at were like hidden gems, exceptional rooms which were very clean and the hosts were welcoming.

The bikes we hired were in good condition which were suitable for the type of cycling. Collection was easy and swapping the bike provided for our youngest to a smaller size was not a problem.

Already looking at other trips!

This was a great family holiday, the children both really enjoyed themselves, especially the swimming in the lake! The hotel in Lindau was amazing, and the lady that looked after us was particularly helpful. Thank you for a fantastic holiday that we can’t recommend enough.

Very good...

The first couple of days were the best – cycling through little villages by the lakeshore. Such comfortable bikes – we wanted to take them home!
