Austrian Odyssey Tour, 4 to 16 September
Join us for an unforgettable 12 day tour to the heart of alpine Europe. You've seen the pictures, now come with us and experience for yourself unforgettable mountain majesty, bucolic valleys and stunning vistas. Ride the Stelvio, Grossglockner, Nochalmstrasse and other legendary high alpine routes seemingly designed solely for your biking and viewing pleasure. Our target destination is the region of Carinthia (Kärnten), in panoramic south-central Austria. Here you will enjoy the warmest of welcomes at one of Europe's most biker-friendly guest house where our English-speaking hosts are totally focused on enhancing your tour experience.
The central Alpine location places you in the epicentre of a huge range of exploration opportunities. You'll be provided with detailed information on the best routes and sightseeing opportunities. Choose from a rich menu of activities including day-trips into neighbouring Slovenia or Italy.

Roads? They simply don't get much better than these. You'll whoop with delight on the Nochalmstrasse, 35 km of serpentine bliss constructed solely for your motoring pleasure. For a very special experience there is nothing quite like a sun-terrace lunch at the Edelweissspitze, the summit of the world-famous Grossglockner High Alpine Road. On the return from Austria we'll conquer the Stelvio, the highest paved mountain pass in the eastern Alps. Yes, you can buy the t-shirt.
There may be a day or two when you just want to throttle back. You can hang out on a near vertical alpine cable car ride, visit a unique exhibition or float your boat with a sunny day cruise on the Millstäter See. Perhaps you'd like to simply park up at an outdoor café in a nearby postcard-perfect alpine village and soak up the atmosphere. The choices are yours.
En-route during this tour you'll be staying in fine rider-friendly guest houses and hotels located in historic or attractive settings.
