Bike vacation does not just any bike vacation. Cyclists will know this as soon as they ask for tour proposals in a self-proclaimed "bike-friendly" hotel or when the bike garage looks like a junk closet. This cannot happen in the BikeHotels Südtirol!

5 good reasons for booking in a BikeHotel Südtirol member hotel:
  • The hosts of the BikeHotels Südtirol are all ambitious cyclists themselves. Many of them have a bike guide education and accompany you on the tours.
  • Upon arrival you will soon notice that here you're staying in a hotel that shares your passion: the newest bike magazines and bike information are visible and without asking you will get to know everything about where you can store your bike, about the biker regulars' table, and about bike tours.
  • Whether you prefer to cycle on your own or prefer guided tours: in the BikeHotels the hosts will organise the bike holidays based on your wishes and are always pleased to give tips on where to enjoy the best food!
  • The bike garage of the BikeHotels Südtirol are perfectly equipped, some even with alarm and video-surveillance. You can also find tools to undertake small repair works. Furthermore, the hotels cooperate with mechanics and shops in close proximity.
  • Last but not least, in the BikeHotels Südtirol you can look forward to excellent cuisine with mainly regional products, which after all provides the basis for a wonderful bike vacation in South Tyrol.
