Spring cycling holidays
Spring is Cycling Season – and Much Earlier Than You Think
As soon as the first warm days appear, the landscape seems to come alive: delicate shades of green, crisp air, and the first rays of sunshine that simply lift your spirits. This perfect mix is what makes spring cycling trips so special: you start the season relaxed, enjoy mild temperatures, and pedal almost as if the trails were all yours.
For those who can’t wait to get going, or who just crave some sunshine, Southern Europe offers ideal conditions. On Madeira, in Southern Italy, or along the Spanish Mediterranean coast, spring cycling often starts as early as January or February - perfect if you want to escape the cold for a few days.
And the logistics? We’ve got it covered: from hotel bookings and luggage transport to practical route suggestions. You hop on your bike in the morning, arrive at your hotel relaxed in the evening - and in between, enjoy unforgettable spring days on two wheels, completely stress-free.

Spring Highlights in Germany
In Southern Germany, along the Rhine, Mosel, or Lake Constance, spring comes alive: mild temperatures, blooming landscapes, and almost empty cycling paths invite you to enjoy relaxed rides.
On the Lake Constance Cycle Route, you can soak up the first warm days without crowds, while along the Mosel from April onwards, the blossoming vineyards and fresh grapes turn the region into a colorful sea of nature. On the Winzer Tour, you cycle from winery to winery, discover local specialties, and enjoy the spring sunshine on the terraces.
