Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Bratislava à Stupava

Bratislava to Stupava Cycling Route

Ready for a scenic ride? This 23.5 km route starts in Slovakia’s vibrant capital, Bratislava, buzzing with sidewalk cafes and riverside paths. You’ll quickly swap the urban vibe for quieter roads as you head north toward Stupava, with just over 500 meters of elevation gain – enough for a decent workout but nothing too wild.

The route’s mostly smooth rolling: about 80% is paved, mostly asphalt, with a handful of stretches on gravel or unpaved track where you can slow down and enjoy the countryside. It’s perfect for a hybrid or a road bike with slightly wider tires.

Stupava is a cozy town on the edge of the Little Carpathians, known for its pretty avenues and the annual Stupava Fest. Treat yourself to some local cuisine once you arrive; you’ve earned it after those climbs! All in all, it’s a great half-day trip for anyone who wants to escape the city and soak up some beautiful Slovak scenery.
