Imagine cycling through two of Europe’s most stunning regions, where every turn of the pedals brings you closer to nature, culture, and a profound sense of achievement.

This eight-day road cycling tour takes you deep into the heart of Slovenia’s alpine wilderness and Croatia’s sunlit coastlines.

In Slovenia, you will ride through alpine meadows and dense forests, tackle high-altitude climbs like the serpentine ascent of the Vršič Pass, Slovenia's highest mountain road. A true test of endurance, the alpine portion of the tour will provide you with an overwhelming sense of accomplishment.

After taking in the peaks of Triglav National Park, you’ll feel as if you’d been transported to another realm when reaching the Adriatic coast, crossing over to Croatia.

Here, quiet coastal roads wind through historic towns and fishing villages, offering glimpses of the region’s Roman and Venetian heritage. Poreč and Rovinj captivate with their cobblestone streets, colorful harbors, and centuries-old landmarks, while inland routes reveal the rural beauty of Istria.

On each day, the undulating terrain tests your mettle, but the rewards – both scenic and sensory – are unmatched!

Throughout the journey, you can expect a mix of technical climbs, exhilarating descents, and stretches that allow you to find your rhythm. An expert guide will accompany you throughout the tour, offering invaluable support, encouragement, and expertise.

With their deep knowledge of the terrain and local culture, they ensure your experience is seamless, from navigating the most scenic routes to finding the best spots for a well-deserved break.

For added ease, logistics are expertly managed, ensuring you can focus entirely on the road.

Comfortable accommodations await you each evening, from lakeside retreats to coastal havens. Detailed route notes, support van and luggage transfers are provided, giving you the freedom to push your limits while enjoying peace of mind.

Frequently Asked Questions

On our self-guided tours, you don’t get a guide. You receive an extensive personalized handout with all the essential information.

On our guided tours, a professional guide accompanies you on your way. He ensures everything runs smoothly, offers you his expert knowledge of cycling and Slovenia’s landscape, and makes your experience memorable.

We are continually on the lookout for the ideal match for you. We select a few different accommodations that meet our criteria, but they are subject to availability, particularly during peak season. We may also modify the vacation based on your desires and budget, and we can always find a better acceptable alternative for your taste.

We encourage making your reservation as soon as possible. Most of our trips cover popular tourist destinations with limited lodging options. Before spring, most of the top spots are fully booked for the summer.

It all depends on how severe your limitation is. Vegetarian alternatives are rather simple to acquire in Slovenia, while vegan foods are exceedingly challenging to find in rural areas and smaller towns. Please keep in mind that the restaurants where we stop for lunch are typically traditional and may have difficulty accommodating you if you choose something other than their standard menu. We recommend that you consider this.

Sure, if you want to! We understand that some individuals like to travel in groups, while others prefer to spend more time alone. We wanted to provide you with the freedom to do things your way. After all, it is your holiday! Please feel free to adapt your schedule and make your trip memorable!

Depending on the tour, late spring (May) and early autumn (September) are often the ideal periods. But summer is always a good choice, and some of our holidays are even available during winter!
