7 nights 4 star hotels/spa hotels. In Austria, a twin room may have one or two mattresses on the same bed frame with separate duvets. Some rooms may have two beds positioned together but cannot be separated due to room constraints.

Grading

The trip is graded moderate. The daily distances cycled each day are between 40 and 70km (25 and 43.5mi). On the banks of the Lakes and while on the River Salzach the paths will be flat. Otherwise, the cycling is over mostly hilly terrain. Around one third of the route cycled in on dedicated cycling paths, and the majority of the rest is cycled on field and forest paths, farm roads and little used backroads. Only some short sections have to be cycled on roads with more traffic. We recommend pre-trip training involving cycling on light to medium traffic roads to ensure you are comfortable cycling through towns.

Mode of Transport

Transportation includes cycling along dedicated paths, field and forest paths, farm roads, and little-used backroads. Some sections may involve cycling on roads with more traffic. A boat excursion on Lake Attersee is included during July and August.
