If you only have a weekend to spend in Slovenia as a road cycling enthusiast, this is your ideal getaway. Between ascending Vršič Pass and Mangart Saddle, you will overcome two most strenuous road climbs in Slovenia.

Aside from the feeling of satisfaction after completing that, you will also be able to delight in the breathtaking scenery of the surrounding Julian Alps every minute of your journey.

The enchanting town of Kranjska Gora will serve as your base for the weekend. As a sports hub, it offers a selection of stuff to do in your free time, such as climbing or summer sledding. On the other hand, you can also opt for a recovery soak in the cold Lake Jasna.

We ensure that a nutritious meal and a comfortable bed are waiting for you every day before and after the physically demanding cycling stage. Consequently, you will be well-prepared for the challenges that await you.

You will find the roads well-maintained and a joy to ride on. For the most part, they do not experience much traffic. Incredible views and peaceful nature will be with you all along, though.

If you prefer to cycle under the watchful eye of an experienced guide, we can provide one for you. And there is also an option of a support van with a trained mechanic following you on your way.

With our self-guided option, on the other hand, you will receive an extensive personalized handout with a day-by-day itinerary and highlights along the way. Our support will also be available to you at any time.

Ready your cycling equipment and explore the heart of the Julian Alps on your bike with our Road Cycling Slovenia holidays.

Our one week tour of Slovenia with these 3 young local guides surpassed all expectations! We travelled from Bled through the Sovenian Alps all the way to to coastal seaside Piran, through villages , on backroads ….it felt like riding through a story book….a delightful surprise around every turn . Our guides took care of our every need: charming accommodations, snacks every day at fantastic off beat locations, mid-ride. We covered 250 km over 5 riding days. The one day we were rained out, they quickly pivoted, and we were able to visit a wonderful historical national museum, which informed us so much in terms of the history in the Soča valley…So the day became not a write off but an educational experience! It was quite special to know the history of the Soča valley as we journeyed through the region, seeing the incredible geographical diversity of this beautiful country on excellent quality e-bikes. Highly recommend! Trip of a lifetime ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

First class company with a well planned route, great accommodation and simply outstanding support in time of trouble. We did a two week ride from Bled to Pula in September 2023. Fair to say we hit a lot of problems courtesy of BA with rescheduled and diverted flights, lost bags, problems with our own bikes, returning rental bikes and more. Daja was simply amazing in helping us sort all of them out and was so accessible at all hours. She even managed to source and buy a forgotten Thru-axle and deliver it personally to our hotel, which is far and above any service i would reasonably expect. Thank you !! Our accommodation was fantastic and far better than expected in all but one location. The route planning in Slovenia was great but due to our decision to bring road bikes from the UK and the nature of the roads in Croatia, our second week was a bit tricky route wise and it would have been good to have had a discussion about this section beforehand. A Gravel bike is far better suited to Croatia although this was our decision to bring road bikes. Transport arrangement and logistics were flawless. Overall, i would change very little and we will definitely be returning to Slovenia. Daja was fantastic and I absolutely recommend Slovenia Cycling Holidays and will be using their services again.
