Innsbruck Family Hotels with Bike Rental
14 family-friendly hotels with bike rental in Innsbruck . Handpicked for families who want the best.
Innsbruck is a mountain city with a flat heart: the Inn cycle path follows the river through town, and the Sill path joins it from the south, so families can ride without climbing. The hotels on this page rent bikes on site, and several stock children's bikes and trailers. Hotel Mondschein sits directly on the Inn cycle path, eight minutes' walk from the old town, with e-bikes, kids' bikes from age 7 and trailers. Hotel Penz West, 80 metres from the same path, has a large e-bike fleet and a bike wash bay. In Lans, south of the city, Isserwirt rents bikes and child trailers next to the Lanser See loop.
Innsbruck is a compact Alpine city on the Inn river, with a medieval old town, the Goldenes Dachl and Maria-Theresien-Straße at its centre, and the Nordkette range rising directly above. The Inn cycle path runs along the river through the city, and the Sill path follows its tributary south past the Olympic ice rink. Above the city, the villages of Lans, Igls and Mutters sit on sunny plateaus with forest trails, small lakes such as the Lanser See and cable cars like the Patscherkofelbahn. I would cycle in the city with younger children and save the village trails for older ones.

🚲Why Innsbruck Works for a Family Cycling Holiday
Innsbruck works for a family cycling holiday because it combines easy river paths in town with forest and lake routes in the villages above it. In the city, Hotel Mondschein, Hotel Penz West and Leipziger Hof Innsbruck all stock children's bikes and trailers and sit on or close to the Inn and Sill cycle paths. On the plateaus to the south, Isserwirt in Lans has direct access to the Lanser See loop and forest paths, and Hotel Sonnenhof Igls rents mountain bikes for adults and children 200 metres from the Patscherkofelbahn. The old town is a short, flat ride from the city hotels.
Hotel Mondschein is the most practical city base for cycling families. The 4-star riverside hotel sits directly on the Inn cycle path, eight minutes' walk from the old town across the bridge, and its fleet includes 26 adult e-bikes, 12 kids' bikes from age 7 and four trailers. Family rooms have a separate bunk area for children, and breakfast is served on a riverside terrace. I would choose it for families with a mix of ages, because a toddler can ride in a trailer while an older child pedals alongside on the flat river path, with the old town close by for lunch.
Two more city hotels have serious bike fleets. Hotel Penz West, a 4-star design hotel on the west side of Innsbruck, is 80 metres from the Inn cycle path, with 14 e-bikes, eight conventional adult bikes, six kids' bikes and three trailers, plus a basement bike room with a wash bay and chargers. The old town is about 12 minutes away by bike. Leipziger Hof Innsbruck, a family-run 4-star three blocks from the Olympic ice rink and the Sill cycle path, has 18 adult bikes, 10 kids' bikes, two trailers and four child seats, an on-site bike workshop and interconnecting family rooms.
The villages south of Innsbruck add forest and lake routes. Isserwirt is a family-run 3-star village inn in Lans, six tram stops from central Innsbruck, with on-site bike rental, child trailer hire and direct access to the Lanser See loop and forest paths towards Patscherkofel. Family rooms have separate bunk-bed areas, and the inn serves Tyrolean half-board. In Igls, Hotel Sonnenhof Igls is a bed and breakfast 200 metres from the Patscherkofelbahn valley station, renting mountain bikes for adults and 24-inch kids' bikes from age 7, with a repair kit on loan and apartments with a kitchen.
For a central hotel with bikes but less of a cycling focus, Hotel Sailer on Adamgasse is a 4-star seven minutes on foot from the old town and five minutes from the train station, with bicycle rental, a games room, a restaurant and air-conditioned family rooms. It suits families who arrive by train and want to cycle for part of the day, then spend the rest exploring on foot. I would pair a morning on the Inn path with an afternoon at the Goldenes Dachl and Maria-Theresien-Straße, which keeps distances short for younger riders and leaves energy for the evening.
Parent's take
For a cycling holiday with children in Innsbruck, I would book Hotel Mondschein. It sits directly on the Inn cycle path, stocks kids' bikes from age 7 and trailers for younger children, and the old town is eight minutes away on foot, so a flat ride along the river can end with lunch near the Goldenes Dachl.
Our Top 14 Picks
Hotels in Innsbruck with bike rental, sorted by guest rating.
Isserwirt
Lans (south of Innsbruck)
Wonderful
380 reviews
A family-run village inn in Lans, six tram-stops south of central Innsbruck, with on-site bike rental, child trailer hire and direct access to the Lanser See loop and forest paths up to Patscherkofel. Family rooms have separate bunk-bed nooks. Breakfast includes Tyrolean bread, fresh fruit and homemade jam.
From
€145/night
Why families love Isserwirt
We chose Isserwirt for the lake loop and got more than expected. The owner walked us through the bike fleet at check-in, attached the child seat himself, and gave us a 1:25,000 paper map with three family routes marked. Lanser See has a swim platform halfway round the loop. Dinner was set menu, four courses, kids got an early-eat slot, and the rooms had blackout blinds for after-cycling collapses.
Hotel Mondschein
Mariahilf (right bank of Inn)
Wonderful
920 reviews
A four-star riverside hotel directly on the Inn cycle path, eight minutes' walk to the Old Town across the bridge. Bike fleet includes 26 adult e-bikes, 12 kids' bikes from age 7, and four trailers. Family rooms have a separate child bunk and a courtyard view.
From
€195/night
Why families love Hotel Mondschein
Best location for cycling families: open the door, get on the path, ride for 70 km if you want to. The bike room is in the basement with a lift, our two kids' bikes were already labelled with our room number on arrival. Riverside terrace at breakfast had highchairs and the kitchen made a peanut-butter sandwich for our 7-year-old who didn't want bircher muesli.
Hotel Innsbruck
Innenstadt
Wonderful
473 reviews
Four-star city centre hotel by the Inn river with family rooms, indoor pool, spa, and a confirmed pet policy for dogs up to 20 kg. Walking distance to the historic centre and the Hofgarten park for evening walks.
From
€626/night
Why families love Hotel Innsbruck
I recommend Hotel Innsbruck to families travelling with a dog who want a city-centre base. The four-star sits by the Inn river, so the riverside path makes morning walks easy, and the Hofgarten park and the historic centre are within walking distance. Dogs up to 20 kg are accepted under a confirmed pet policy. Family rooms, an indoor pool and a spa give children and parents a plan for rainy mountain days.
Wonderful
470 reviews
Historic four-star hotel in the heart of Innsbruck's old town since 1390, with confirmed dog acceptance up to 15 kg, family rooms, and a dog water bowl in the lobby. The hotel borders the Maria-Theresien-Straße pedestrian area.
From
€317/night
Why families love Hotel Goldener Adler, BW Signature Collection
I recommend Goldener Adler to families with a dog who want history on the doorstep. The four-star has stood in Innsbruck's old town since 1390, borders the Maria-Theresien-Straße pedestrian area and accepts dogs up to 15 kg, with a water bowl waiting in the lobby. Family rooms are available. The trade-off is clear: no spa, no pool and no garden, so you choose it for atmosphere and for reaching everything on foot.
Hotel dasMEI
Mutters
Excellent
467 reviews
Modern four-star alpine design hotel in Mutters, 15 minutes from central Innsbruck, with an outdoor playground, spa, family rooms, mountain views, and a dog-friendly policy that includes a complimentary dog welcome basket.
From
€260/night
Why families love Hotel dasMEI
I would choose Hotel dasMEI for families who want modern alpine design and space for children to play. The four-star in Mutters, 15 minutes from central Innsbruck, has family rooms that feel airy, a real outdoor playground, a spa and mountain views. Dogs are welcome with a complimentary welcome basket in the room. Central Innsbruck is a tram ride away, which suits families who prefer quiet evenings to the old town.
Der WALZL
Innsbruck
Excellent
Der WALZL is a 4-star alpine inn in Lans village, 6 km southeast of Innsbruck. Rated 8.9, the property has a games room, outdoor swimming pool (open May-September), children's playground and free parking.
From
€223/night
Why families love Der WALZL
Der WALZL has the highest rating of these five (8.9) and you can see why. The games room shares a wing with the children's playground, the outdoor pool opens for summer stays, and the family rooms are quiet and full of natural wood. Lans is a tiny village 12 minutes by car from Innsbruck old town. Half-board with traditional dishes is included on most rate plans. Pets are allowed which matters if you're driving from Germany.
Hotel Sonnenhof Igls
Igls (south side of Patscherkofel)
Excellent
290 reviews
A bed & breakfast hotel in Igls village, 200 metres from the Patscherkofelbahn cable car valley station. Bike rental includes mountain bikes for adults and 24-inch kids' bikes from age 7, plus a full repair kit on lend. Apartments come with kitchenette and balcony.
From
€130/night
Why families love Hotel Sonnenhof Igls
I recommend Hotel Sonnenhof Igls to families who want to ride mountain trails straight from the door. The bed and breakfast sits in Igls village, 200 metres from the Patscherkofelbahn cable car valley station. Bike rental covers adult mountain bikes and 24-inch kids' bikes from age 7, and a full repair kit can be borrowed. Apartments come with a kitchenette and balcony, and breakfast starts at 07:00, which suits an early ride.
Hotel Grauer Bär
Innenstadt
Excellent
464 reviews
Four-star city centre hotel near the university, with spa, indoor pool, family rooms, and a pet policy accepting dogs up to 20 kg for a nightly fee. Wide rooms, lift access, and walking distance to the Hofgarten.
From
€352/night
Why families love Hotel Grauer Bär
I recommend Hotel Grauer Bär to families with a dog who want an indoor pool in the city centre. The four-star near the university accepts dogs up to 20 kg, and its indoor pool is a real asset on a rainy day. Rooms are wide with lift access, family rooms are available, there is a spa for parents, and the Hofgarten is within walking distance. Street-facing rooms can hear evening student traffic, so ask for the quieter side.
Leipziger Hof Innsbruck
Pradl (east of city centre)
Excellent
1,140 reviews
A four-star family-run hotel three blocks from the Olympic ice rink and Sill cycle path, ten minutes' bike ride from the Old Town. Bike fleet covers 18 adult bikes, 10 kids' bikes, two trailers and four child seats. Family rooms have an interconnecting twin via the corridor.
From
€175/night
Why families love Leipziger Hof Innsbruck
Cyclists know Leipziger Hof for the basement workshop — the night manager is a hobby mechanic and tightened a wobbly stem on our older kid's bike at 9pm. Family rooms via interconnecting doors meant the kids had their own space. Breakfast had cycling carb-loading covered: pancakes, eggs, fresh bread and a proper espresso machine. Pradl is residential, no party noise.
Alp Art Hotel Götzens
Innsbruck
Excellent
Alp Art Hotel Götzens sits on a sunny plateau at 870m elevation, 12 km southwest of Innsbruck old town. The games room has table tennis and a small games corner, plus there's a tennis court, mini golf and outdoor playground in the grounds.
From
€223/night
Why families love Alp Art Hotel Götzens
Götzens is one of the prettiest mountain villages in the Innsbruck area and Alp Art makes a calm base for families who want hiking by day and a quiet bedtime. The free ski-bus runs to Olympia SkiWorld lifts in winter, and the hotel's own games room with table tennis keeps kids occupied during evening rain. Family rooms have mountain views and most have balconies. The on-site spa has a sauna for parents while children play next door.
Hotel Penz West
Hötting (west bank, Inn cycle path)
Excellent
760 reviews
A four-star design hotel on the west side of Innsbruck, 80 metres from the Inn cycle path. Bike fleet runs 14 e-bikes, eight conventional adult bikes, six kids' bikes and three trailers. The basement bike room has a wash bay and chargers for ten e-bikes simultaneously.
From
€165/night
Why families love Hotel Penz West
The basement bike room sold us — wash bay, charger bank, locked rack with our room number. Coming back at 6pm covered in mud and not having to deal with it was a small luxury. The kitchen at breakfast knew families: cucumber sticks pre-cut, three kinds of jam, the espresso machine free-flowing. Hötting is residential and quiet, but a 12-minute riverside ride to the Old Town.
Hotel Sonnhof
Innsbruck
Excellent
Hotel Sonnhof in Mutters has a games room and children's playground in a sunny mountain-view garden. Family rooms include some with bunk beds for kids and the property has a sauna and views of the Tuxer Alps.
From
€322/night
Why families love Hotel Sonnhof
Sonnhof is the toddler-friendliest pick because it has both a games room and a proper outdoor playground in the garden. With young kids, that pairing matters: rainy day means table tennis, sunny day means swings. The mountain-view rooms catch full afternoon light. The owners cook traditional Tyrolean food and the half-board option is solid value if you don't want to drive into town for dinner every night.
Hotel Sailer
Innsbruck
Excellent
Hotel Sailer is in central Innsbruck on Adamgasse, a 7-minute walk from the Old Town and 5 minutes from the train station. It has a games room, restaurant, family rooms with air conditioning and bicycle rental.
From
€295/night
Why families love Hotel Sailer
Sailer is the city option, walkable to everything. The games room is on the ground floor near the bar and works for older kids more than toddlers because it shares space with adult diners after 8pm. Family rooms are air-conditioned which matters in a Tyrolean July heatwave when the village hotels often aren't. The breakfast is generous and the train station next door makes day trips to Salzburg easy.
Hotel Garni Schieferle
Innsbruck
Very Good
Hotel Garni Schieferle is a small family-run hotel in Mutters village, 500m from the Mutterer Alm Ski Lift and 8 km from Innsbruck. The games corner has table tennis, billiards and board games, plus a sauna for parents.
From
€200/night
Why families love Hotel Garni Schieferle
Schieferle is the most game-room dense of these hotels per square metre. There's table tennis, full-size billiards, and a stocked board game shelf, all in a basement room next to the wellness area. The catch: it's small (15 rooms), so book early. Kids love the Mutterer Alm summer toboggan run two minutes' walk away. The bus to Innsbruck stops at the door every 20 minutes.
💡Tips for Booking an Innsbruck Hotel with Bike Rental
- 1Stay on the Inn cycle path if your children are new to riding. Hotel Mondschein sits directly on it and Hotel Penz West is 80 metres away, so you start on a flat, traffic-free route along the river.
- 2Check the minimum age for kids' bikes. Hotel Mondschein and Hotel Sonnenhof Igls rent children's bikes from age 7, so younger children need a trailer or a child seat instead.
- 3Book trailers and child seats in advance. Hotel Mondschein has four trailers, Hotel Penz West three, and Leipziger Hof Innsbruck two trailers and four child seats, which can run out in busy weeks.
- 4Choose an e-bike if you tow a trailer. Hotel Mondschein and Hotel Penz West both have large e-bike fleets, which make pulling a child much easier on the slopes towards the villages.
- 5Use the villages for forest and lake rides. Isserwirt in Lans gives direct access to the Lanser See loop, and Hotel Sonnenhof Igls is 200 metres from the Patscherkofelbahn for mountain routes.
- 6Look for a bike workshop or repair kit. Leipziger Hof Innsbruck has an on-site bike workshop, and Hotel Sonnenhof Igls lends a full repair kit, useful when a child's tyre goes flat.
