Bania Velo

As its name suggests – Hotel Bania **** Thermal & Ski – the hotel is widely known for promoting taking a well-deserved rest in thermal waters after enjoying some active relaxation.

Keeping fit is a vital element of staying healthy, and as we all know – health is our biggest wealth. With this in mind, we have prepared special Bania Velo offers for those of our guests who enjoy cycling. You can either bring your own bikes or hire them on site (also electric bikes). You can choose from a whole range of cycling trips – you can:

go cycling on your own and, for example, take a cable car to the top of Kotelnica to explore the beauty of the Royal Route,
choose a trip that includes transport to the starting point and collection from the pick-up point,
put yourself in the hands of professionals and take part in an organised trip.
You can add these optional activities to your holiday itinerary – ask for details when booking your stay (you can choose a dedicated cycling package) or during your stay at the reception.

Cycling fun for the entire family
Would you like to add a cycling trip to your holiday itinerary? You can bring your bikes with you or hire them on site, and we will take you to the starting point of the route, prepare provisions for the trip and collect you from the pick-up point. Depending on the weather, several times a week we offer transfers to cycle routes for guests using the Bania Velo offer, so you don’t have to worry about transport and instead you can enjoy your cycling adventure and beautiful mountain landscapes.

Conveniences:

Assembly points:

Our hotel transport will take you and your bikes to the starting point – the starting time of the trip is the time we agree to meet at the reception and get on the bus. After a day of cycling adventure, we will come and collect you from the pick-up point at a pre-agreed time.
