Overview

Cycling in Slovakia on this seven day, self-guided tour, starts in Bratislava with time to take in its medieval heart and also its superb location on the River Danube. From here, you have cycling trails through the Little Carpathians, a low mountain range that’s part of the larger Carpathian range, along the River Váh, the longest river in Slovakia, and through Vrátna Valley, which is gateway to Malá Fatra National Park. Although this takes you to some rural idylls and villages, the cycling is easy to moderate, and the price of bike rental is included in the tour (or upgrade to an e-bike). Accommodation is in hotels, with options for upgrades and luggage is transferred from one hotel to the next.
