Golden bike tours in autumnal Carinthia

In Carinthia, the cycling season is far from over after the summer. On the contrary, the sunny south of Austria lures in the Carinthian autumn cycle from the end of August with numerous advantages for a relaxing autumn cycle holiday.

The summer heat is over and calm returns to the lakes, but the water temperatures are often still warm enough for a pleasant bath. The air is crystal clear, the weather is mostly stable and mild and nature inspires with its autumnal play of colors and after the harvest with an oversupply of delicious culinary delicacies.

The Carinthian autumn cycle entices with wellness 

Carinthia makes cyclists particularly happy in autumn. There is a wide range of cycle tours and multi-day tours that are specially designed for September and October. Of course, everything is perfectly pre-organized for the autumn bike tours, from the route description to the accommodation to the convenient suitcase transfer from hotel to hotel. You will stay in selected 3* and 4* hotels, which often have beautiful wellness areas. Here, tired muscles get an extra portion of relaxation after cycling in the sauna and in the warm water. Furthermore, in Villach, for example, admission to the spacious Kärnten Therme in Warmbad Villach is included and the luxurious bathhouses on Lake Klopeiner See and Lake Millstätter See lure you in for a soothing visit.

Short breaks between the bike path and the lake

The Carinthian Radlherbst tours lead through the most beautiful cycling regions in Carinthia, along the Drau Cycle Path, through the Hohe Tauern National Park region, along Lake Millstatt, Lake Ossiach and Lake Wörthersee to Europe's warmest bathing lake, Lake Klopeiner. The autumn cycle tours are three to four days long, as a comfortable star cycle tour starting from Villach or Lake Klopeiner See or eventful stage tours on the autumnal Drau cycle path or on the Alpe-Adria cycle path.
