Biking Vacations in Summer

Summer is peak season for biking across Alpine and northern Europe. Lake Constance, Scotland and England all offer warm, settled weather and the longest daylight hours of the year.

Mediterranean routes through Puglia and Tuscany stay rideable, though July and August can bring afternoon temperatures into the high 80sF, so an early start pays off.

Book several months ahead, since summer is one of the busiest periods across our European network.

  • Which regions suit summer best?

    Lake Constance, Scotland, Ireland and England are at their best in summer, with warm, settled weather and long daylight hours.

  • Is it too hot to bike the Mediterranean in summer?

    It gets warm, especially in July and August, but starting early and taking a longer midday break makes routes through Puglia and Tuscany very manageable.

  • How far ahead should I book a summer trip?

    Summer is one of our busiest seasons, so booking several months ahead gives the best choice of dates and accommodation.

  • Are the days long enough for a full ride?

    Yes, northern Europe sees very long daylight hours through summer, leaving plenty of time to ride and explore each overnight stop.
