In Slovenia, the Triglav National Park will take your breath away. Home to stunning landmarks like Lake Bohinj and the towering Peričnik Waterfall, this hidden gem is also equipped with a mix of well-paved roads and challenging climbs, such as the ascent to Pokljuka’s alpine pastures.

Here, you can tackle the scenic gradient of the Vršič Pass, Slovenia’s highest mountain road, as well as enjoy leisurely rides through rolling meadows full of traditional alpine chalets.

Crossing into Italy, the Dolomites deliver a series of iconic ascents that have earned their place in cycling lore.

The Sella Ronda loop is a highlight, with its perfectly engineered switchbacks and dramatic views of limestone spires. Legendary passes like Passo Giau and Passo Falzarego offer demanding gradients and unparalleled panoramas of alpine ridges and lush valleys below. The smooth, expertly maintained roads make these climbs a joy for those who appreciate precision and technical riding.

To enhance your experience, every detail of the tour is managed for you.

Accommodations in charming villages like Bled, Corvara, and Arabba are selected for their comfort and proximity to key routes. The itinerary includes detailed GPS tracks and optional support services, such as shuttles for high-demand segments or additional guidance for navigating complex routes.

You’ll also benefit from local insights on refueling spots, water sources, and the best scenic stops for photos or rest. With professional road cycling guides with you at every turn, you’ll have a perfectly stress-free holiday.

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!

Most trips may be completed in mild rain if you dress appropriately. Afternoon thunderstorms are not uncommon in the summer, so getting an early start is advised. If the weather appears very lousy, we will attempt to modify the trip or skip a stage by shuttle.
