A cycling holiday is a way of travelling where you experience an area from the saddle and move from place to place under your own power. You typically cycle between different towns, landscapes, or points of interest, staying at new accommodations along the way. It’s an active, flexible, and peaceful way to travel, bringing you close to nature, culture, and local life – without needing to be tough, sporty, or specially trained. At its core, it’s about enjoying the journey, going at your own pace, and having the freedom to stop whenever something catches your attention.

Please note that “easy” refers to our overall assessment of the route. This does not exclude the possibility of occasional challenging sections. The difficulty level of these tours is always either “easy” or “moderate.”
This type of cycling holiday combines active days with the very best of local cuisine, vineyards, and cultural heritage. Here, the experience is just as much about what you taste as what you see along the way. You cycle through regions where local markets, wineries, traditional restaurants, and historic town centres appear as natural stopping points on the route. It might be the smell of fresh-baked bread in a small village, a spontaneous wine tasting, or a visit to a family-run trattoria. Along the way, you’ll also have plenty of opportunities to encounter local traditions, architecture, and everyday life – giving you a more personal impression of each destination.
Coastal and island cycling holidays are perfect if you feel most at home with water views and a relaxed atmosphere. Here, beautiful coastlines, small harbour towns, and ever-changing landscapes combine with short to mid-length stages where you’re free to stop whenever something catches your eye.

Here, you’ll encounter everything from peaceful valley stretches to more demanding climbs that reward you with panoramas making every break worthwhile. Regions like Switzerland, the Dolomites, Slovenia, and the Pyrenees offer well-maintained routes, beautiful lakes, dramatic rock formations, and charming mountain towns along the way.

Bike cruises combine relaxed sailing with daily cycling stages, giving you the chance to explore multiple regions without packing and unpacking every day. You stay on board a ship that brings you from place to place, while you cycle new routes on land each day. It’s a flexible and comfortable way to travel, and there’s nothing quite like ending the day on deck with a view of the sea. The routes are typically easy to moderate, offering a great mix of nature, small towns, and local impressions – all without having to worry about logistics. Bike & Boat holidays are perfect if you want to combine an active trip with relaxation and a touch of adventure.
A cycling holiday doesn’t need to be tough, technical, or require special equipment. It’s a flexible way of travelling where both the route and the pace can be adapted to almost any level of fitness or experience. You can choose short, flat stages, more varied terrain, or longer distances if your legs are up for a bit more work. That makes cycling holidays suitable for beginners, experienced riders, couples, friends, and anyone who simply wants to explore an area in an active and immersive way. What matters most is the desire to be outside, enjoy the journey, and let the experiences unfold with each turn of the pedals.
A cycling holiday with Bering Travel is designed so you can focus on the experience – not the logistics. When you arrive at the first hotel, your bikes are ready, the route descriptions are in the app, and all you really need to do is get in the saddle. Each day, you cycle a new stage while your luggage is transported to the next hotel, so you only carry what you need for the day. Along the way, you can take as many breaks as you like: a coffee, a viewpoint, a photo stop, or a small detour if something catches your interest. At the end of the day, you check in at your next accommodation, relax – and get ready for a new stage the next morning. It’s simple, stress-free, and a wonderfully comfortable way to travel.
A self-guided cycling holiday gives you the freedom to experience everything at your own pace. You decide when the day starts, how long the breaks last, and which little detours are worth taking. There are no fixed groups or strict schedules – the route is planned, but the experiences are yours to shape. At the same time, most of the logistics are arranged in advance, so accommodations and daily stages are already sorted, allowing you to focus on enjoying the journey. It’s a way of travelling that combines flexibility, comfort, and room for spontaneous discoveries – without having to handle the practical details yourselves.
A cycling holiday doesn’t require advanced gear, but a bit of preparation makes the experience easier and more comfortable. The most important thing is a bike suited to the trip – many travellers simply rent a good trekking bike or e-bike at the destination. It’s also useful to bring a light daypack, comfortable clothing, good shoes, a rain jacket, and possibly cycling gloves. A water bottle and sun protection are also worth packing. It’s a good idea to check the weather forecast, adjust your saddle height properly, and take a short test ride before the journey begins. With these basics in place, you’ll be well prepared for a relaxed and worry-free adventure on two wheels.
