Bicycle Buses

More adventures – with local cycle buses

The cycle buses make tours possible which don’t necessarily start at the front door. Take a bus in comfort, with your bike securely stowed on board, to the starting point of your tour. With the Erlebnis CARD of Region Villach – Faaker See – Ossiacher See this service is free of charge. From April until October, you can take a bicycle bus on Tuesday from Lake Ossiach to Spittal an der Drau, on Wednesday from Lake Faak to Hermagor, on Thursday from Lake Ossiach to Hermagor and every Friday from Lake Ossiach and Lake Faak to Tarvisio (Italy). The bicycle bus will take you to the starting point of the tour in comfort and you can cycle back individually. This free service with an Erlebnis CARD has to be booked on the previous day before 12:00 noon, either with your accommodation host or by calling +43 664 133 41 46.
