Gravel bike holiday in Carinthia

Gravel biking on the sunny south side of the Alps

Off to the sunny south of Austria! Discover the Alpine-Mediterranean lifestyle in Carinthia, where the gravel routes always run between gentle mountains and crystal-clear lakes. Mild temperatures and an extra-long bike season meet charismatic cosiness in Austria's southernmost province. And the unique Carinthian cuisine: from Carinthian Kasnudeln to Kaiserschmarrn. From the rustic alpine huts, it's straight to the bathing jetty; from winding mountain roads straight into unspoilt terrain.

On the sunny side of the Alps, you can get in the saddle from the end of March and discover numerous trails and cycle paths as well as adventurous gravel bike routes until November - peppered with boundless panoramic views. Gravel biking allows you to cross national borders and change perspectives in no time at all. On a gravel bike holiday in Carinthia, off-road biking from the imposing peaks of the Hohe Tauern National Park to the gentle hills of the Nockberge and into the wide valleys with their warm bathing lakes is on the programme.
