Kufstein sits where the Inn Valley opens up beneath the Wilder Kaiser, and it’s road cycling country through and through. This was one of the main regions of the 2018 UCI Road World Championships, and the Kufsteinerland Cycle Marathon still runs here every year, so the quiet valley roads and climbs are as good as they sound. Over seven days we ride five guided tours, all starting and finishing at our hotel, from easy rolling kilometres along the river to proper climbs for anyone who wants them. Evenings mean a hot shower, a 3-course dinner, and swapping stories with the group.

Seven days based in the Kufstein area, with five guided road rides and no repacking. We arrive on day one, meet the group and the guides, then ride out each morning straight from the hotel. Days take in the Inn Valley past Maria Stein and Rattenberg, a loop around Lake Walchsee with a longer option circling the Wilder Kaiser, the Pölven roundtrip through Söll and Bad Häring, the Windau valley with a Kitzbühel extension, and a final big day over into Bavaria and back via Lake Thiersee. Half-board, buffet breakfasts, and 3-course dinners are included, plus bike pick-up if anything goes wrong mechanically. Bike hire and airport transfers can be arranged at an additional cost.

Day 1: Arrival in the Kufstein area

Arrival in the Kufstein area — Cycling in Kufstein | Austria

Arrive at your hotel in the Kufstein area, settle into your room, and get your bike sorted for the week ahead. This is the easy part: no riding, just a chance to meet the other riders and your guides over a 3-course dinner and talk through what’s coming. Kufstein sits at the heart of one of the main regions of the 2018 UCI Cycling World Championships and hosts the Kufsteinerland Cycle Marathon every year, so you’re in good company here. Every tour of the week starts and ends right at the hotel door, which means no shuttling around and no early scrambles.

Meals: Dinner
Accommodation: 4-star hotel in the Kufstein area

Day 2: Rolling through the Inn Valley

After a buffet breakfast, we roll out of Kufstein and into the wide, green Inn Valley on some of the nicest bike ways in Tirol. First stop is Maria Stein, a pilgrim church perched above the valley floor, then we swing past Lake Raintaler See before dropping into Rattenberg, the smallest town in the country and a fun place to spin through. The gradients stay friendly all day, so it’s a good chance to find your rhythm and get used to riding with the group. We loop back to Kufstein in the afternoon, with dinner waiting at the hotel.

Meals: Breakfast, dinner
Distance: 65 km (40 mi)
Elevation: +450 m (+1,476 ft)
Accommodation: 4-star hotel in the Kufstein area

Day 3: Lake Walchsee loop

Lake Walchsee loop — Cycling in Kufstein | Austria

Today comes in two sizes. The standard loop takes us from Kufstein up to Lake Walchsee and back through Ebbs, home of the Tyrolean horse centre, at a relaxed 40 km (25 mi). If your legs are asking for more, we ride the extended version all the way around the Wilder Kaiser mountain range, which doubles the distance and adds some proper climbing under those big limestone walls. Whichever option you pick, we regroup and head back to the same hotel in Kufstein for a 3-course dinner and a good look at tomorrow’s route.

Meals: Breakfast, dinner
Distance: 40 km (25 mi) or 80 km (50 mi)
Elevation: +350 m (+1,148 ft) or +900 m (+2,953 ft)
Accommodation: 4-star hotel in the Kufstein area

Day 4: From Kufstein to the Windau valley

From Kufstein to the Windau valley — Cycling in Kufstein | Austria

We head south out of Kufstein towards Hopfgarten and Westendorf, then turn up into the Windau valley, a quiet dead-end road with a stream running alongside and farms scattered up the slopes. After the turnaround it’s a steady roll back to Kufstein. Feeling strong? There’s a longer option that swings around the Hohe Salve via Hopfgarten, Kitzbühel, and Ellmau, adding a bit more distance and climbing. Your guides will sort out who rides what over breakfast, so nobody feels pushed either way. Dinner is back at the hotel, and you’ll have earned it.

Meals: Breakfast, dinner
Distance: 70 km (43 mi) or 80 km (50 mi)
Elevation: +650 m (+2,133 ft) or +760 m (+2,493 ft)
Accommodation: 4-star hotel in the Kufstein area

Day 5: Around Mount Pölven

Around Mount Pölven — Cycling in Kufstein | Austria

Today we loop around the Pölven, the green hump that sits between Kufstein and the Wilder Kaiser. Rolling out of town, we climb steadily towards Söll, then carry on to Itter with its little castle on the hill. The road back over Bad Häring is the fun part, quiet, smooth, and with plenty of views across the Inn Valley before we drop down to Kufstein. It’s the shortest ride of the week on paper, but the climbing keeps your legs honest. Back at the hotel there’s time to spin out, soak in the pool, or grab a coffee in the old town before dinner.

Meals: Breakfast, dinner
Distance: 45 km (28 mi)
Elevation: +650 m (+2,133 ft)
Accommodation: 4-star hotel in the Kufstein area

Day 6: Over to Bavaria and Lake Thiersee

Our biggest ride saves the best for last. We roll north out of Kufstein and cross into Bavaria at Neubeuren, then swing east through quiet countryside towards Bayrischzell, tucked under the mountains. The way home takes us past Lake Thiersee, a lovely spot for a last coffee stop before the final run back down to Kufstein. It’s a long day in the saddle with steady climbing rather than anything brutal, and your guides will keep the pace sensible so everyone rolls in together. Back at the hotel, there’s a three-course dinner waiting and plenty of stories from the week to go with it.

Meals: Breakfast, dinner
Distance: 90 km (56 mi)
Elevation: +800 m (+2,625 ft)
Accommodation: 4-star hotel in the Kufstein area

Day 7: Departure day

Departure day — Cycling in Kufstein | Austria

Enjoy one last buffet breakfast with the group before saying goodbye. Check out of the hotel and head home with tired legs and a week of Tyrolean roads behind you. Airport transfers can be arranged if you need one, and your guides are happy to help you sort out the details before you go.

Lodging & food

4-star hotel

Home for the week is a comfortable 4-star hotel in the Kufstein area, and it doubles as the start and finish line of every ride. Rolling out of the door and back into it each day means no packing, no shuttling, just bikes, breakfast, and a shower waiting when we return. Evenings are easy here, with plenty of space to swap stories about the day’s climbs before dinner. Six nights are included, all of them with half-board.

Note that exact accommodations may vary depending on availability, but will always be of the same standard and comfort.

Tyrolean meals

Half-Board, Tyrolean Style — Cycling in Kufstein | Austria

Half-board is included for the whole stay, which means a buffet breakfast every morning and a 3-course dinner every night. Mornings are for loading up properly before a day in the saddle, so take your time with the coffee, the bread, and whatever else the buffet puts in front of you. Dinner is the reward, served at the hotel once everyone has cleaned up and compared notes on the day’s route. It’s a relaxed, sit-down affair with the group, and the sort of hearty Tyrolean cooking that makes tomorrow’s climbs feel very possible.
