A cycling holiday between the Mur, Zirbenland and the Styrian mountains

Cycling hotels in Styria combine river landscapes, small towns and alpine scenery in the Mura Valley to create varied days out on two wheels. Around Judenburg, Spielberg, Weißkirchen and Zeltweg, the Mur Cycle Route winds its way through the Aichfeld, whilst tours into the Pölstal or the Zirbenland offer more elevation gain and sweeping views. St. Peter am Kammersberg complements the western part of the region with quiet roads and rural countryside.

Those staying several nights in one place can combine leisurely rides along the River Mur with longer tours through side valleys and hilly countryside. Cultural stops in Judenburg, local inns and typical local products such as Swiss stone pine and Murtaler Styrian cheese make the breaks an integral part of the cycling holiday. The choice of cycling hotel therefore depends on the desired tour length, elevation profile and holiday style. Velontour combines accommodation, the region and suitable cycling tours to provide an easily plannable base for leisure cyclists and e-bike riders.
