Read on for a list of ways to add a touch of luxury to your cycling holiday.
Indulge in spa treatments
Enjoy the tranquillity, relaxation and luxury of some of Sweden’s very best spa hotels. Relaxing with a wonderful spa treatment paired with masterful cuisine is a winning combination for sore muscles and tired bodies. Skansen Spa in Båstad, Hotel Tylösand in Halmstad, Falkenberg Strandbad, Varbergs Kusthotell and Asia Spa in Varberg are all award-winning spas, where you can stay in a fabulous setting and enjoy the beauty of the ocean right outside the door.
Visit a vineyard
Pause among the grape vines and enjoy world-class wine at one of the vineyards lining the trail. The grapes are cultivated and used to make impeccable wines, right beside the ocean and rolling fields. At Vejby Vingård and Kullaberg Vingård, you can book wine tastings and tours of the vineyards, and Arilds Vingård on the Kullahalvön peninsula offers not only wine tastings, but also accommodation and a restaurant.
Stay at a hotel
After a long day of cycling, you’ll need a great night’s sleep. Whether you prefer a charming inn, or a rustic or trendy boutique hotel, there is something for you. Right along the trail, you will find many lovely, bike-friendly hotels with comfortable beds and wonderful settings in which to recover from your ride.
Eat well
You’ll have no problem finding a delicious meal at exciting restaurants along the Kattegattleden trail. Culinary experiences abound and there is something to suit every preference and taste. Options range from luxurious restaurants and vineyards to food trucks and laid-back locales that still take food, flavours and ingredients very seriously.
Take in the view
Allow your cycling holiday to take some time, and pause now and then to enjoy all the beautiful sites. Have coffee on a sand dune by the sea, stroll through a harbour, listen to birdsong in a forest glade, or pause at one of many destinations. Along the trail, you’ll discover plenty of gorgeous natural scenery, quiet little towns, and lovely sites that are well worth the stop.
Stop for coffee and pastries
Stock up on energy with a classic Swedish fika. Cosy cafés abound along the trail; you’ll find award-winning bakeries and little gems offering coffee, homemade biscuits and freshly baked buns.
Treat yourself to baggage transport
Not having to lug around your bags? Now that is the height of luxury. Book baggage transport and you’ll never have to worry about whether you’ll have room for everything on your bike, or whether your bags are too heavy. Simply leave your bags with the hotel when you depart, and they’ll be ready and waiting at your destination for the day when you arrive. It doesn’t get any easier than that! You can book baggage transport here.
