These three days of the holiday will see you take on the challenge of cycling two alpine stages<\/b> that every Slovenian cyclist would consider a must-do. It surely won\u2019t be easy, but it will be rewarding.\r\n\r\nThis holiday combines top runs with stunning views on some of the best routes Slovenian mountains offer. You will be based in the sports hub of Kranjska Gora. <\/b>Each evening, some delicious local cuisine<\/b> will be waiting for you to recharge your batteries for the next day.\r\n\r\nYou will share the weekend on the roads with fellow cycling enthusiasts, who\u2019ll challenge you to show your best. The competitive but supportive team vibe<\/b> you can experience during these three days is a rare chance that you shouldn\u2019t miss out on.\r\n\r\nThe asphalt roads you\u2019ll be cycling on are well maintained but don\u2019t experience much traffic. That makes them perfect for a cycling challenge like this. Your team will be led by a local guide<\/b>, a professional cyclist with years of experience who can also help you with some tips and training advice. Like a professional team, our days will be accompanied by a support van with a trained mechanic<\/b> as its driver, who\u2019ll tend to any technical issues that could occur during stages. And if any of the participants falls behind or is unable to continue, we will make sure the tour continues smoothly and pick him up.\r\n\r\nPrepare your bikes and join us on this challenging but rewarding Julian Alps road cycling holiday in Slovenia.","price":"From 895\u20ac\/person","hide_price":true,"extras":null,"extras_guided":null,"extras_self_guided":null,"highlights_new":"Two of the most famous stages in Alpine Slovenia\r\n\r\nWarm up on the roads of the wooded Pokljuka Plateau\r\n\r\nPut your endurance to the test on the King Stage, across the Vr\u0161i\u010d Mountain Pass, to the top of the Mangart Saddle, and across Predil Pass\r\n\r\nShare the challenge with a team of fellow cycling enthusiasts\r\n\r\nCycle on the local training roads of Tadej Poga\u010dar and Primo\u017e Rogli\u010d, winners of the Tour de France and Vuelta a Espa\u00f1a\r\n\r\nA carefree ride with an expert team in a van supporting you","included_new":"Tour design and organization\r\n\r\nBooklet with detailed itinerary and route instructions\r\n\r\nService and support during your tour\r\n\r\nGPS navigation with an easy-to-use app\r\n\r\nAccommodation as per itinerary\r\n\r\nLuggage transfer","included_guided":[{"add_included_guided":"Professional local guide"},{"add_included_guided":"2 nights 3* accommodation with breakfast"},{"add_included_guided":"Full van support"},{"add_included_guided":"Organization of everything"},{"add_included_guided":"Transfer from Ljubljana to Kranjska Gora"}],"not_included_guided":null,"included_self_guided":[{"add_included_self_guided":"2 nights 3* accommodation with breakfast"},{"add_included_self_guided":"Organization of everything"},{"add_included_self_guided":"Luggage transfer"},{"add_included_self_guided":"Transfer from Ljubljana to Kranjska Gora"}],"not_included_self_guided":null,"not_included_new":"","what_to_bring":[{"what_to_bring_item":"Cycling Gloves"},{"what_to_bring_item":"Rain\/Wind Jacket"},{"what_to_bring_item":"Small Backpack"},{"what_to_bring_item":"Water Bottles\/Bidons"},{"what_to_bring_item":"Snacks"},{"what_to_bring_item":"ID Card"},{"what_to_bring_item":"Cash"},{"what_to_bring_item":"Zip Lock Bag for Electronics"},{"what_to_bring_item":"Powerbank"},{"what_to_bring_item":"Sunglasses"},{"what_to_bring_item":"Sunscreen"},{"what_to_bring_item":"Bike Lube"}],"faq":[{"faq_question":"How difficult are Road Cycling Holidays?","faq_answer":"The tour is designed to be challenging enough for most recreational road cyclists.
