Cycling in de Allgäu

From relaxed to sporty: hundreds of kilometers of cycling trails offer everything from smooth, comfortable tours to thrilling off-road adventures and challenging mountain passes. Embark on our long-distance routes to truly get to know the entire Allgäu on two wheels.

    The Ultimate Rides for Every Cyclist

    No matter what type of bike you ride, we have the perfect route waiting for you.

    Relaxed Leisure Cycling and Historic Towns

    For a smooth and scenic ride, cruise along beautifully paved paths that wind through lush green meadows and sun-drenched alpine valleys. These family-friendly routes connect the region’s historic towns and charming, character-filled villages, making it easy to combine a relaxed day of cycling with a rewarding stop at a local café or beer garden.

    Road Biking: Conquer Legendary Passes

    If you are craving speed and vertical meters, the Allgäu's quiet, smooth roads through the foothills are a road cyclist's dream. Push your limits on iconic ascents like the legendary Jochpass between Bad Hindelang and Oberjoch, where crisp alpine air and exhilarating hairpin turns reward you with spectacular mountain panoramas.

    Off-Road Adventures: Gravel and Mountain Biking

    Prefer leaving the asphalt behind? Grab your gravel or mountain bike and explore countless gravel trails that lead you straight into the heart of the Allgäu’s untamed nature. Take on the scenic Steibinger Genussrunde in the Nagelfluhkette Nature Park, or follow the breathtaking Weiher- und Burgenroute (Pond and Castle Route) between Füssen and Nesselwang.

    Let us introduce you to some of the most beautiful cycling routes the Allgäu has to offer!

    Easy Bike Rentals Everywhere

    You don't need to haul your own gear across Europe to experience the region on two wheels. The Allgäu has a fantastic infrastructure of local bike shops and rental stations in almost every major town and many accommodations offer bikes for their guests as well. Whether you are looking for a comfortable touring bike, a high-end road bike, or a powerful e-mountain bike to conquer the hills, you can easily rent top-quality equipment locally for a day or an entire week.
