Overview

Innsbruck is a big highlight of this tour, but there are many more wonders to marvel at. Cycling through both Tyrol (known for its mountains and lakes) and Bavaria (colorful Baroque architecture), you’ll experience many dreamlike mountain backdrops, formidable fortresses, and impressive monasteries. The Inn River, the Ziller Valley, the crystal-clear lakes and turquoise-blue rivers will enchant you.
