We are keen for as many customers as possible to review their holiday. To make it easier to do so, we include a specific review section on our post-holiday questionnaire, and this is what we publish here, unedited. Read our full review policy >
We loved both holidays. The Engadine Valley was stunning, the hotels were charming and the walks were lovely, apart from day 2 walk to Zuoz. We would suggest spending 3 nights at Hotel Meissen in Guarda if time allows and cut out walk to Zuoz going instead to Swiss National Park. The hospitality and food at both Hotel Meisser and Hotel Privata were outstanding. The Salzgammergut Lakes cycling week was also lovely. The villages were charming and the lakes beautiful. We swam in every lake and had an apple strudel every day! We have now done 5 trips with Inntravel and are already planning the next.
INNTRAVEL NOTE: These customers combined a walk in Switzerland, Villages of the Engadine, with a cycle in Austria, Salzburg Lake District, along with city stays in Zurich and Salzburg
The locations in which we cycled were stunning. The scenery was memorable. It was so lovely to have hotels with personal beaches and swim in the beautiful lakes after a hot day in the saddle. Seehotel Huber was our favourite for character, setting, friendliness and food. We witnessed some amazing sunsets over the magical turquoise lakes.
Don't do this holiday if you are not confident cycling on busy main roads with trucks and lorries thundering past you.

Lovely area of Austria, pretty villages, excellent accommodation, places of interest on route. Would definitely recommend this holiday
The mountain scenery, the wildflower meadows, the lakes, the cakes... We were warmly welcomed by our hosts. Very helpful in arranging a taxi for HS as she could not cycle. Salzkammergut Touristik were very helpful when I suffered a punctured rear tyre and the spare inner tube failed. I rang and they picked the bike and me up en route to Bad Ischl and took me to the office in Bad Ischl and mended it while I waited.
Highlights - Lunch beside the lake at Mondsee. Lunch at the top of the funicular at Haltsee. Cycling over the pass from the Attersee towards Bad Ischl.
Tips - Don't opt to stay an extra night in the Seehotel Huber! A night in St Wolfgang wouold have been preferable as there are more facilities there.
Hallstatt was seething with buses of Asian tourists even later in the afternoon and slightly out of season (but a trip up the funicular to the salt mine gets you away from this to some extent)
It was a fantastic holiday but we were unlucky with the weather on a couple of days as it poured with rain all day which made the cycling less enjoyable than usual and ruined the views especially to Hallstatt. However on the good days the scenery was magical. By chance we happened to stay in Salzburg at the time of St Rupert's festival which was good fun; lots of traditional bands playing, food and beer stalls, and it was great to see the locals in traditional costume having a great time - a perfect end to our holiday.

This was a great cycling holiday in gorgeous countryside, we'd highly recommend it. I was a little intimidated when I first received my trip package, but it was clear and accurate and included everything we needed. I am an Inntravel fan and will definitely be taking more of their holidays!
Beautiful routing with many quiet paths though some busy sections. Hotels in very quiet spots.
One of our favourite Inntravel cycling holidays, we have done about 6 now. Stunning scenery, relatively easy cycling with climbs and undulations well noted, high viz recommended on road sections. Everyone friendly and helpful. Hotels characterful and welcoming. Changeable weather in early Sept means wet weather cycling gear essential. As noted, off season many refreshment spots are closed. Last day to and from Hallstatt was the highlight.
Walking up above Mondsee was a very nice excursion (as was the steakhouse there). There was also nice walking as you leave Attersee on the way to Bad Ischl (trails along the river and to a falls).
We loved the variety of scenery and the fact we had time to stop and look at things en route or simply rest and have a drink.
This was a lovely holiday with superb views. Inntravel arrangements were perfect with a nice mix of hotels. The cycling notes were comphrehensive with just a few small errors. We had 5 days of sun and 1 day of rain. Austrian rain is heavy and can last for 8 hours at a time so good waterproofs are recommended. Around 20% of the route is on a main road or cycle path running close to a main road which is not as tranquil as we would have liked, but we suppose the options to avoid this are limited. In July, some of the lakeside towns were extremely busy with tourists. My wife enjoyed her e-bike very much and it took the stress out of the holiday for her.
Overall we had a great holiday.
The Huber hotel was very friendly and welcoming and the hotel is in a great position on the lake. The Föttinger was an exceptional hotel in a great position and worthy of its four star rating.
Hotel Agathawirt, again was so welcoming with a very interesting history and excellent facilities.
The countryside and lakes were stunning and the cycling was very enjoyable, especially with the use of e-bikes. We love Austria, this is our second holiday with Inntravel in this country and we will return again.
