Sure, it has “holidays” in its name, but this is not some ordinary leisurely holiday. It’s not that cycling vacation where you are casually turning the wheel, maybe going just a little bit faster than a runner, and trying to look around as much as possible without running over a squirrel. No!

These Road Cycling Holidays could be best described as a Tour de Slovenia — Recreational version . . . With maybe a beer at the end of each successful day.

Slovenia is one of the most diverse countries in Europe, making it a perfect destination for this kind of holiday. Each day will see you cycling from destination to destination, swiftly moving through many different landscapes — Both the terrain and the climate will be changing around you. Many take a whole month to explore all of them, but you and your speedy bike will only need a good week. Your days will end and start in a different hotel, each serving you delicious and nutritious authentic local meals that will keep your legs moving and the bike’s wheels turning through the day.

This is a cycling holiday meant for you road cycling enthusiasts who would like to test yourself on new terrain. Every single day will present you with a carefully planned route of challenging but fun cycling, ranging from 50 kilometers to 100 kilometers per day. You will be cycling in a team full of like-minded people, supporting and competing against each other. Tackling the roads as part of a team with such a great vibe is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity you should not miss.

The tour will be led by a local guide, a professional cyclist with years of experience. He will not only lead the tour but can also give you training advice and tips for how to improve your cycling. And to complete that professional look, a support van will be following you through the day, providing all the assistance necessary. If anyone encounters technical problems with the bike, the highly trained mechanic will fix it up in a minute. And if one of the participants feels a little tired and wants to have a little bit of rest, our team will pick up the cyclist and make sure the tour continues smoothly.

Don’t worry if you didn't bring a bike to Slovenia. Rent a high-performance bike from us adjusted to your specifications right at the beginning of the tour.

At the end of the tour, the whole group will feel like winners. So book our road cycling holiday and secure your spot on the road to victory!

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.

Yes! Our holidays are designed to give you some free time every day to relax and spend it the way you want to. It is your holiday after all! For any advice and suggestions you can always turn to your tour leader or our back office, who will be more than happy to help you out.
