FIRST PLATFORM FOR GRAVEL BIKE HOLIDAYS IN THE ALPS IS NOW ONLINE

Gravelbike Holidays, the first specialized platform for gravel bike holidays in Europe, was launched on April 29, 2025. Gravel biking has long been more than just a trend. It is a new way to experience outdoor adventures off the beaten track, and it is gaining more and more fans.

If you are looking for specialized bike hotels and the most beautiful gravel bike regions in Austria, Germany, Italy, and Slovenia, then gravelbike-vakanties.com is the right place for you. Gravel biking combines the best of both worlds. Whether on gravel, single trails or the road, the multifunctional gravel bike is the link between road bikes and mountain bikes and offers completely new possibilities thanks to its versatility. Gravelbike Holidays is a strong network of 35 certified bike hotels and 20 gravel bike regions in four countries that combine their expertise. Behind the association, which is committed to a passion for off-road biking and the highest quality standards, is the team at MTS Austria, the specialists in cycling holidays. Martin Baumann, MA, Procurator & Marketing Manager at Gravelbike Holidays (and certified bike guide) sums it up in a nutshell: “With Gravelbike Holidays, we not only offer the first international platform for gravel bike holidays in Europe, but also concentrated bike expertise in the Alpine region. Our hosts know exactly what cycling guests need – because they are passionate cyclists themselves who are committed to providing the perfect holiday experience.

On the road with the specialists

Wider tires, broader perspectives: OFFRoad. AdventureON. is the motto of the new platform, because the best adventures start off the beaten track. The community is now networking at gravelbike-holidays.com – hitting the gravel together is what they want to achieve!

In addition to the best hotels and regions in Austria, Germany, Italy, and Slovenia, vacation-hungry bikers will also find first-class tour tips, priceless insider tips, attractive offers, and inspiring stories on the blog. So it’s worth looking beyond the asphalt. The selected hotels – in prime locations from the Alps to the Adriatic Sea – have been tested, certified, and adhere to a strict quality code. Cycling is a top priority here, with ideal infrastructure guaranteed: GPS route planning, bike garages with video surveillance, laundry service, and guided tours with the host are all included. And because there are other pleasures in life besides cycling that add another dimension to a perfect cycling vacation, alpine-Mediterranean wellness and gourmet offerings complement the sporty Bike And More experience.

We are continuing to expand our range of high-quality offerings and are delighted to have partners who share our passion for gravel biking,” adds Baumann. ”Anyone who wants to be part of this active and fast-growing community can easily find us at gravelbike-holidays.com – we look forward to traveling over hill and dale together!”
