We really enjoyed our cycling tour of Bavaria. The mountain scenery and little pastoral villages with delightful houses with flower-filled window boxes and glorious roses was a joy. Exploring lively Füssen, relaxing in Bayersoien, and using Murnau as a base for exploring Garmisch-Partenkirchen, the Zugspitze and Oberammergau provided a varied itinerary. We also enjoyed Munich tremendously. The Hotel Torbräu is excellent, located in the heart of a wonderful vibrant city.
An excellent, varied terrain journey with breathtaking scenery.
Amazing scenery and delightful villages. Stunning mountains in the background. Helped by great weather albeit rather hot (over 30 every day). Swimming in lakes helped to cool us down.

I would recommend taking the Tegelbergbahn cable car. It's not much of a diversion from the route, the views from the top are amazing and there are fabulous restaurants, not to mention watching the paragliders run off the side of the mountain!
A good if experimental trip for us. The e-bikes worked very well on all of the tracks. I was not impressed by Inntravel declining to book an hotel for us on our arrival at Munich because their ONLY recommended one was full. I had to spend a lot of time researching another one. It was good, if not a bit expensive.
The weather helped a lot as it was mostly fine and it was great to breathe so really fresh air. Even though 40km seemed a lot we covered the distances easily and got to where we wanted to be in good time.
The Füssen and Murnau hotels were really good and in different ways. Most welcoming and comfortable.
The German people were so kind an helpful. I haven't been to Germany for many years and I had forgotten just how pleasant it all is. Munich is a must stop-over city. Such a wonderful history.
We're sorry that we were unable to arrange accommodation in Munich. We only book hotels with whom we have a working relationship, which includes having visited them ourselves, and having a contract in place. In addition, many city hotels do not work with tour operators, or do not provide fixed rates that we are then able to advertise.
Highlights: Beautiful scenery on all routes and most interesting visits to the Münterhaus and Schloss Museum in Murnau. We also enjoyed a boat trip on Staffelsee.
Pay attention when making a stop near fields as there are many electric fences.
Visiting Neuschwanstein: Booking online is a fiddle because you have to book two days in advance and then pick up the tickets no later than 1.5 hours before your scheduled visiting time, which in our case was not the time we had asked for. A better way might be to just turn up at the ticket office and with luck you should be able to get in almost straight away.
We loved this holiday. The dramatic mountain scenery coupled with some fantastic lake swimming was a perfect balance so although it was a very hot ride this summer, there were plenty of opportunities to cool off. The choice of hotels was perfect and a good balance between traditional and modern. This is our third Inntravel cycling holiday and it was probably our best yet.
Another excellent holiday, thankyou. The routes weren't perhaps as exciting as previous years, they were a little bit repetitive and it was a shame that the lake was dry. The electric bikes were easy to use and meant we could keep up with my husband on his ordinary bike! The Altstadt Hotel in Fussen was lovely, the staff warm and welcoming. We cannot recommend the Park Hotel highly enough. It really was a pleasure to stay there, a highlight of the week. In contrast, we were slightly disappointed by the Hotel Griesbaum, in particular one disinterested receptionist who really couldn't be bothered to serve us. When I later asked for the wi-fi code she told me she had already told my husband. Overall, we had a great holiday and now almost take it for granted that you always provide a very professional service.
First holiday/ trip of this type and we were constantly in awe of the stunning surroundings and scenery on this tour, what a great way to see a country/ region. The amount of cycling each day was just about right as it gave a nice focus to the day, whilst not having to be in a rush to start and allowing plenty of time at the end of the day to relax on arriving back or at the next destination. However, do allow more time on Day 1, to fit in the castles tour (essential!) and get back to Fussen for dinner!
A nice blend of included meals and exploring evening meals options ourselves.
We had a wonderful time and will certainly look at other Inntravel cycling trips and one day return to do this one as well.
The best Inntravel cycling holiday we have done, this is our fourth. Wonderful scenery and hotels, electric bikes made such a difference, we are converts!
This is a wonderful holiday, and we enjoyed it enormously - it was our first experience of ebikes and will not be the last! Some of the cross country gravel cycle paths were quite rough, and would have been hard work without the extra power of an ebike. The hotels were generally excellent, but two of them were in noisy towns, making sleeping difficult in hot weather with the windows open. But overall we loved the alpine scenery and the wonderful traffic free routes - we would never have found such variety without the very detailed route instructions provided by Inntravel. We avoided visiting the castles as we were put off by the crowds of tourists, which were a bit of a shock after the peace of the countryside.
Fantastic holiday, all beautifully smooth thanks to Inntravel. The variety of scenery and cycle tracks made for a great introduction to the region. The hotels were lovely and a nice mix of styles. I loved the two-night stays so you could either do the cycle ride or take some time out at each location. I will definitely be back!
Excellent routes - had to get the hang of following directions but all spot on.
All routes and hotels were excellent, and the locals friendly and helpful.
If the weather had been kinder (it rained solidly for 3 days in the middle) it would have been a fabulous holiday in a part of Germany that is not well known to British tourists. The cycling was much tougher than we expected & have been used to on other Inntravel cycling tours & we would question the 1-2 grading (should be a 2-3 instead) as there were lots of undulating hills & relentless inclines to navigate. We would certainly recommend the E-Bike upgrade & suggest you make that more prominent for those less dedicated cyclists. Despite all of that we had a great holiday.
The daily mileage was good for fit weekend cyclists and we all enjoyed the beautiful scenery.
I would recommend that all the cyclists in each party have a map and don`t share one map.
Some of the local cafes are very good with nice food and delicious cakes.
This company really know how to treat their customers, by being friendly, patient and helpful right from initial contact and throughout the whole process. They clearly know their routes thoroughly and so maps and instructions are detailed and reassuring, meaning that you can relax and enjoy the whole process without feeling anxious about losing your way! Accommodation is carefully chosen so as to allow you to experience the real essence of the country - food, location, etc - in complete comfort. The distances were very 'do-able' and still left us with time to swim, sightsee and relax and (bonus!) a healthy appetite for the wonderful food on offer. Our highlight was the Griesbrau, even though we didn't manage to fit in a brewery tour; the food was wonderful, Murnau a vibrant holiday destination, choice of fabulous lakes to swim in and last - but not least - the beer was sensational! We cannot thank you enough for a wonderful, wonderful holiday in this amazing part of the world!
We were most pleasantly surprised by the glorious scenery we cycled through: lush meadows and farmlands, forests and marshes, picturesque villages, lakes and streams, always with the Alps as a backdrop and birds of prey circling overhead. The scenery on the cycle down from Oberammergau was breathtaking.
very enjoyable holiday in beautiful scenery and the choice of routes and excellent cycle paths made for easy access on bikes
It was a great refreshing break where we managed to eat and drink as much as we liked, thereby enjoying all the local cuisine, but with fantastic exercise that meant you didnt put on any weight.
The scenery and the locations were inspiring, the food and welcome was great and the variety meant every day was different and like a new holiday.
[INNTRAVEL NOTE: Mr Kelly did both our Bavarian Castles and Villages cycling holiday as well as our Leutasch Valley walking holiday.]
It was all a highlight. I have done 2 previous walks with Inntravel, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to others. I like self guided walks/cycle rides, and also like using small local hotels - it is hard to select a hotel when you don't know the country. It was also good having Inntravel book the rail travel - it all went smoothly.
