Bavaria’s Allgäuer Alps
11 Day Cycling Holiday
‘One Night Stops’ 7 Day
Prepare to fall in love with the Allgäu! Situated in a remote south-west corner of Bavaria, this stunning region remains something of a hidden gem. Few cyclists have so far discovered the delights of this unspoilt and spectacular landscape between Germany and Austria.
As always in Bavaria, you can expect the famous hospitality and passionate spirit of a distinctive culture that holds its traditional language, food, music, architecture and customs dear. From the natural majesty of the Southern Alps to the regal fantasy creation of Neuschwanstein, the dramatic countryside here includes a range of exhilarating cycling routes …
Highlights will include:
- Discover exquisite Bavarian villages and towns like Bad Bayersoien, Füssen and Bad Oberstaufen
- Pedal your way through the verdant Vils Valley beneath towering Alpine mountain ranges
- Admire Neuschwanstein, the renowned fairytale castle created by ‘Mad’ King Ludwig
- Visit the friendly beer gardens, chic shops and interesting museums of Oberstdorf, a top German ski resort
- Experience the thrilling cable car ride up to the awesome Nebelhorn Peak
- Enjoy spectacular views along traffic-free cycle lanes carved through the mountains
- Indulge in rustic culinary delights at Michelin-rated restaurants in the gourmet enclave of Hittisau

I would like to thank you for yet another wonderful holiday. I’ve been on so many Bents cycling holidays now that I have lost count, but I have to say that the Bavaria’s Allgäuer Alpstour I did this year hasto be one of my favourites. All of the hotels were excellent, the villages we stayed in were lovely, the routes were well chosen and the scenery was fantastic.
