For cyclists who want to make every hour count, this three-day break distills Slovenia into its purest, most exhilarating form. Compact enough to fit into a long weekend, yet ambitious enough to challenge even seasoned riders, this itinerary takes you through the most spectacular mountain landscapes the country has to offer — without wasting a single kilometre on anything less than exceptional.

Based first in the iconic lakeside town of Bled, then in the alpine sports hub of Kranjska Gora, you'll tackle two of the most celebrated cycling stages in the Julian Alps — routes that Slovenian cyclists speak about with the kind of quiet reverence reserved for truly great roads.

Well-maintained, lightly trafficked asphalt winds through national park wilderness, over legendary high passes, and past scenery that earns its reputation at every turn.

The riding is hard. The climbs are long and the elevation relentless. But each evening brings a warm hotel, a table of hearty local cuisine, and the deep, uncomplicated satisfaction of legs well used.

Slovenia punches far above its weight as a cycling destination, and these three days make the case better than any others. If you have one weekend to spend on a bike in Slovenia, spend it here.

Frequently Asked Questions

The included pickup and drop-off at the end of the holiday in the price published on our website is in Ljubljana. For any changes, please notify us upon booking. The included transfers are all the transfers between places and/or activities specified in the itinerary.

Both our back office team and our guides know where to go. We can give you recommendations or even pre-book some places for you. You can be adventurous and find places on your own. Either way, let us know if you would like any sort of help.

It is important to dress for the season. Slovenia has all 4 seasons, so please check the weather forecast before the day trip regarding temperatures and rainfall. When you are close to the Alps, the weather can change fairly quickly, so your best bet is to always bring an extra layer. We recommend shoes you will be comfortable in.

It really depends on the level of your restriction. Vegetarian options are fairly easy to find in Slovenia, but vegan dishes, on the other hand, are extremely hard to come by in rural areas of the country and in smaller towns. Please note that the places where we stop for lunch are often traditional and may have difficulties accommodating you outside of their standard menu. We suggest you keep this in mind.
