BIKING HOLIDAY
FIRST AUSTRIAN BIKE-HOTEL
Experience the beauties of Carinthia as well Slovenia and Italy by bike.
Our house is situated in the centre of Drobollach, the sun-terrace at Lake Faaker See, in the heart of Carinthia directly on the route of the Cycling World Championship and the Cycling Europe Championship and therefore in the centre of the Carinthian biking trail network.
For example the “Drauradweg” – the cycling path along the river Drau- is with 3 km reach and the “Gailradweg” – the cycling path along the river Gail- within 4 km.
Here come open some of the most impressive Carinthian valleys and lakes. Use our hotel as a base for exploring the whole region in all directions on forest trails and cycle tracks. If you prefer to explore Carinthia on minor roads with little traffic, you can either take it easy or take up a real challenge, which might bring you on high Carinthian mountains or even across the borders to Italy and Slovenia.
We offer daily guided tours ranging in distances between 20 and 200 km for touring bicycles, for racing cycles, or for mountain bikes, and we support you with professional hints and tips as well. We offer everything that cyclists may possibly need. Whether you are planning individual cycling tours (there are plenty recommendable tours) or tours in groups, you are always welcome.
There are also easy tours for kids who are already able to cycle and for adults who may be out of practice, you can enjoy it in radgasthof faakersee
In addition to all that we organise hiking tours and mountain tours in groups for guests who don’t want to cycle every day – as well as a varied programme of sports and more relaxing pursuits and the hotel’s own lido on Lake Faaker See.
Under our slogan:
"ON TWO WHEELS PEOPLE STAY YOUNG"
