Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Balatonalmádi à Badacsonytomaj

This ride takes you along the breathtaking northern shore of Lake Balaton—Hungary’s “inland sea”—from the cozy town of Balatonalmádi to the wine-famous Badacsonytomaj. It’s about 65 km of mostly smooth, easy pedaling, with a touch under 300 meters of total ascent, so you’ll get some gentle climbs but nothing too crazy.

You’ll cruise along long stretches of dedicated cycleway and quiet roads, giving you fantastic lake views and glimpses of rolling vineyards. Balatonalmádi is a chilled-out resort with a vibrant waterfront and leafy promenades, perfect for a pre-ride coffee. The cycleway hugs the lake’s edge for much of the route, making it a classic for bike travelers.

As you approach Badacsonytomaj, look out for the iconic volcanic hills covered in grapevines. This little town is celebrated for its local white wines and has a relaxed, friendly vibe. If you have the time, grab a glass (or two) and soak in the scenery—the perfect way to top off a stunning Balaton ride!
