Brigitte, the proprietor of the hotel, herself is a mountain bike pioneer and a passionate racing cyclist. She couldn’t wish for a better preparation for the international Masters Ski Race in winter than the summer training with stunning mountain and lake tours in Carinthia.

Brigitte‘s and Albert‘s most favourite route is the 3-countries tour across Italy and Slovenia and back to Carinthia. They are especially fond of the delicious hot chocolate in Italy, which is so rich that a spoon could stand in it. The calories acquired in that way are used up in no time during the exhausting mountain stage on the Wurzen Pass afterwards.

New to the team: Micheal Egger, the ultra-triple triathlon world champion

Mosburg. Michi will also be our guests on the racing bike tours next summer

accompany if desired.

He also competed in many other ultra races, including some 24-hour races where he

completed more than 660 km in one day. His racing agenda is fabulous, there is hardly any

renowned race in which Michi did not take part.

But don't worry, our guests don't have to sit in the saddle for that long. Michi also loves it cozy

and shows on his 100-120 km long tours in the Carinthia area and in the border triangle

most beautiful spots that you can explore by racing bike.

an extensive service package for everyone...

Triathletes have also come to the right place. The Lake Faak tours and the Marathon Route along the river Drava (5 km away from the hotel) with measured kilometre indication offer ideal training conditions.

Faaker See - "Land of Roadbike"

 

Carinthia - the air is already warm in April and offers racing cyclists ideal conditions to build up enough basic endurance for the strenuous summer marathons.

 

Carinthia - Austria's dream of the south - is ideal for racing cyclists and nature lovers, for leisure cyclists, mountain freaks and mile hunters. The central location of our hotel offers racing cyclists numerous opportunities to enjoy their favorite sport even on vacation.

 

The region around the district capital Villach in particular offers an extensive network of roads,

be it to the numerous turquoise-blue Carinthian lakes, in rustic valleys or on challenging mountain roads. If you avoid being close to the city or the glamorous lakeside resorts, especially in the high season, you will find streets and routes with little traffic that will delight every racing cyclist.

 

 

The location of Austria's southernmost federal state offers excellent cycling conditions from March - April to October thanks to the mild climate. Carinthia's well-known stable weather allows you to feel the proximity to Italy and combines with the Alpine flair to create a fantastic backdrop in which every training session, no matter how intensive, becomes a pleasure.

 

Some of our tours go to Italy and Slovenia and offer you the opportunity to experience 3 countries, 3 languages and 3 cultures on 2 tires and in just a few hours. You can get lots of tips and information about these excursions from Brigitte at reception, who is always there for your cycling needs.

 

 

Numerous picturesque landscapes and places invite you to linger and typical Carinthian inns offer genuine hospitality. But you also shouldn't miss the pasta in Italy, the cream slices in Slovenia or a frigga in one of the rustic Carinthian valleys

Road cycling in the racing bike paradise of Faaker See-South Carinthia, affectionately called "Carbon Valley" by freaks, offers a warm southern flair, coupled with the demanding challenge of the numerous mountain and pass roads.

 

Since the tours are taken almost in a star shape from the hotel, there is never a dull moment - always different impressions, different landscapes and varied areas line the picture on the right and left of the road. This complete variety in our offer, in harmony with the southern, mild climate, offers this incomparably pleasant ambience which makes a racing bike holiday with us at Lake Faaker See so attractive and perfect.

 

 

 

Between Faaker See and Aichwaldsee, our hotel offers the ideal starting point for exploring the most beautiful tours in Carinthia directly from the house.

As a cycling-loving hotel, we offer our guests 40 racing bike tours to take with them via the roadmap or to download straight away via komoot.com.

 

You will receive the download code for all 40 racing bike tours in your booking confirmation

 

from our hotel reception. Exclusively only for our guests!

 

Easy tours

(mostly in the lake area - beautiful scenic routes along the many bodies of water in the Carinthian Lake District) this also includes the new FROM-BIKE-TO-BATH TOURS, which were specially developed for those guests who would like to enjoy the diverse holiday offerings in the afternoon and not just in want to sit in the saddle.

 

Medium tours

(a combination of lake tours with some tricky valley crossings and seemingly endless mountain panoramic roads, usually around 100 km per tour with a few meters of altitude, which requires good fitness.

 

Difficult tours

(Distances with usually well over 100 km per day, peppered with a few passes and countless climbs, are only for passionate, well-trained racing bike freaks)

 

The cycle route of the previous "Iron Man Carinthia", one of the largest cycling events in Carinthia, leads from Klagenfurt to Lake Faak, with some loops, mountain routes, passes and along Lake Wörthersee, a 90 km loop that has to be cycled twice . (The Iron Man tour is of course also listed in our tour folder)
