A new target group in the spotlight.

Gravelbike Holidays is the first international cooperation group for gravel bikers. With 34 hotels in 4 countries, we already offer an extensive range of services in our first gravel bike season. Personal expertise, outstanding bike services and tailor-made offers for gravel bike guests are our most important success factors of our member hotels.

We are now looking for more members who want to position themselves for the long term and work with us to build a successful future for (gravel) bike tourism.

Why should you join Gravelbike Holidays?

By becoming a member of Gravelbike Holidays, you will be part of the first cooperation group in Europe that focuses exclusively on the target group of gravel bikers. With decades of expertise in bike tourism, combined with our passionate bike hotels, we want to actively shape the future of bike tourism.

Here are the most important benefits of membership at a glance:

 

Clear targeting

You actively reach the growing target group of gravel bike guests.

Certified quality

Benefit from our established quality label. The first official quality label for gravel bike hotels.

Individual consulting

Benefit from decades of expertise in bike tourism and improve your bike offering with our help.

Synergies

Exchange with other members, study trips, best practice examples and much more offer the opportunity to learn from each other and improve together.

First mover

As one of the first certified gravel bike hotels, you will benefit from being involved right from the start and actively approach this new and exciting target group.

Bundling resources

Take advantage of cost benefits through joint marketing, which would be difficult for an individual hotel to achieve on its own.

3 steps to success

Product first is the motto at Gravelbike Holidays, which is why we support you in the initial phase, especially with product development. After certification according to the TÜV standard, we move on to marketing as quickly as possible, in order to position your bike hotel efficiently in the target group.

Step 1: Focus on product development

We focus entirely on product development during the first few months of our collaboration. The main goal is to further develop the hotel's bike offering and prepare the infrastructure, services and bike information so that they perfectly meet the needs of guests who are passionate about gravel biking.
We support you with our experience and provide you with guidelines and best practice examples to facilitate implementation.

 

Step 2: Official certification as a bike hotel
With Gravelbike Holidays, we have developed the first official criteria for gravel bike hotels.
We are  certifying all member hotels so that we can credibly communicate our product promise.

Our quality management system is certified by TÜV Austria, so you will have an independent and valuable certification as a bike hotel.
 
 
Step 3 Efficient marketing
As a cooperation group, we pool all our resources and offer efficient and innovative marketing in all areas. From the high-quality website to successful influencer trips, we really do cover everything. Always in close cooperation with our member hotels.

However, our 360° marketing approach has a single goal: to attract as many potential guests who are passionate about gravel biking to our facilities and generate individual enquiries and bookings.

As one of the first bike hotels in South Tyrol, we can look back on a very successful partnership with Mountain Bike Holidays. The renowned brand is essential for us to position ourselves as a top bike hotel in the Alps.


Now we want to focus more on the target group of gravel bikers and add a new chapter to our success story as a bike hotel.
By actively combining our strengths in the cooperation group, we can respond quickly to trends and thus remain competitive in the long term.

As chairman of Gravelbike Holidays, I play a key role in shaping the strategic development of the association. We are always on the lookout for hotels that are already experts in bike tourism and now want to focus on the emerging target group of gravel bikers.
Or hosts who want to position themselves for the future and rely on our support and professionalism.


Our TÜV-certified quality management sets the bar high – we ensure the highest standards through benchmarking.

As a founding member of Mountain Bike Holidays, we have witnessed every step of its development over the last 30 years. The association remains an innovation leader to this day – a network of like-minded people who share their expertise and drive product development with strong impulses.

I am convinced that Gravelbike Holidays will continue along this path and that we will make the best possible use of the synergies within the association to establish ourselves as the leading cooperation group for gravel bike holidays.
