Itinerary
- Meals: Dinner
Today you will arrive in Maishofen. Take some time to settle in and relax after your journey. Unwind in the Alpine sauna, complete with a hot-stone steam room, take a stroll in the private gardens (Herrengarten), or take a dip in the hotel’s natural swimming pond.
You can then join the welcome meeting later on in the evening to learn about your upcoming week of cycling.
- Meals: Breakfast, dinner
Today you’ll start your cycling holiday with a bit of competition! A game of mini golf by bike? Go on then. A circular tour of around 15 Kms will take you around a mini-golf course (map, scorecard and golf clubs all included).
Cycling from hole to hole, and making your way past inventive obstacles, will make your hole-in-one far from easy! A brilliant way to explore the country side and great fun for the whole family.

- Meals: Breakfast, dinner
After a delicious breakfast, your first ride will take you past Castle Prielau to the banks of Lake Zell. From here you’ll continue along the shores of the lake towards the lovely Zell am Zee, boasting a beautiful old town centre. Then you’ll ride further into the Schüttdorf moor.
You’ll follow a loop around the lake, enjoying views of the surrounding mountains, including the imposing Schmittenhöhe, before heading back to your hotel. A relaxing start to the week with a gentle 20 kms to warm up the legs!
- Meals: Breakfast, dinner
Today you’ll again make your way by bike to Zell am See, in order to catch the Krimml train (excl. bicycle ticket, approx. €2.50/bike) up into the Oberpinzgau region to the Krimml waterfalls; the highest in Europe. Relax in the refreshing mist of the waterfalls, while taking in the awe-inspiring vistas of the Hohe Tauern National Park.
Your ride today will see you making your way steadily downhill back to Maishofen. You can jump on the train at various points along the way if you want to make your ride shorter.

- Meals: Breakfast, dinner
Your ride today will take you first along a more undulating route, as you make your way along a tranquil country route to the town of Saalfelden; a true Alpine gem! Continuing on your route, you’ll make your way to the glistening Lake Ritzen. Don’t forget your swimming costume – the lake is known for its pleasant water temperatures, making it a great place for a dip! There’s also a children’s play area, and the opportunity to play mini golf (not included in trip cost).
If you’ve a little extra pedal power, you can cycle on to Biberg toboggan run. You’ll have a small climb to reach the toboggan, but the journey down is sure to be speedy!
- Meals: Breakfast, dinner
Today you can head up Austria’s highest mountain; Mount Großglockner. The tour bus will take you approx. 2500 metres high, to the peak of the mountain. The bus ride along the Großglockner Straße is a fantastic experience, as you wind your way up the High Alpine Road! Once at the top, you’ll enjoy breathtaking views and a national park ranger will be on board to answer any questions you may have.
The bus tour runs from May to the end of September, at least twice weekly. On arrival at your hotel, please ask reception for information on bus departure days and times. The bus tour must be reserved in advance (again, please ask the hotel), and costs approx. €29 per person (not included in tour price). The tour lasts the whole day.
Alternatively, if you fancy a day of relaxation you can spend today with your feet up, as you enjoy the facilities your hotel has to offer. The Alpine sauna, the private gardens or find a shady spot by the natural swimming pool and grab that holiday book you’ve been having too much fun to read!

- Meals: Breakfast
Take your time having a leisurely breakfast at the hotel, and reminisce about your fantastic week, as today you unfortunately have to say goodbye to your gorgeous hotel and the Tauern valleys.

The Cycling
Terrain
You’ll be riding on predominantly flat routes in the river valleys of the Salzaach and Saalach rivers. The terrain gets hillier as you leave the riverbanks going to and from your hotel (and day 5 will pose the biggest challenge in terms of ups and downs!) but generally it’s a relaxed route. You’ll find yourself mostly on paved bike paths and quiet side streets, with only around 45% of the route on roads shared with traffic (although these are usually pretty quiet). We recommend a hybrid bike for this tour. (Due to some short stretches on hard packed gravel / dirt roads, the route is not suitable for road bikes).

Family Cycling Grade
Aspects of both our grade 1 and 2 trips
Suitable for those looking for a relaxed ride
Occasional ups and downs
Our grading guidelines have been carefully created based on our many years of cycling experience, as well as customer feedback from our trips. Of course, if you're still struggling to figure out where you fit on the scale, do feel free to give us a quick call and we'll be more than happy to help!

Is this suitable for you?
Trips that are graded as a 1-2, will have aspects of both our grade 1 and grade 2 trips. These tours are still suitable for those looking for an accessible cycling holiday with manageable daily distances, along predominately flat terrain, however there will be some days / sections where we’d expect you to be up for a slightly cheeky challenge. It might be that the distances are a little longer on some days or that the terrain is slightly more undulating, but the rides are still relaxed and manageable for families who are generally fit and healthy.

Amy, London, UKSkedaddle were an absolute pleasure...Beautiful scenery and great weather, loads to do in the area and the hotel was perfect for our young children, with wonderful grounds.
The route on the Ritzensee day was lovely; we also really enjoyed the days round the Lake as there was so much to do. One highlight was going up Schmittenhöhe for a hike and the activity trail ; highly recommended for children.
The Skedaddle service was consistently helpful, friendly and communicative, which made booking it a pleasure!
