Imagine cycling through two of Europe’s most stunning regions, where every turn of the pedals brings you closer to nature, culture, and a profound sense of achievement.

This eight-day road cycling tour takes you deep into the heart of Slovenia’s alpine wilderness and Croatia’s sunlit coastlines.

In Slovenia, you will ride through alpine meadows and dense forests, tackle high-altitude climbs like the serpentine ascent of the Vršič Pass, Slovenia's highest mountain road. A true test of endurance, the alpine portion of the tour will provide you with an overwhelming sense of accomplishment.

After taking in the peaks of Triglav National Park, you’ll feel as if you’d been transported to another realm when reaching the Adriatic coast, crossing over to Croatia.

Here, quiet coastal roads wind through historic towns and fishing villages, offering glimpses of the region’s Roman and Venetian heritage. Poreč and Rovinj captivate with their cobblestone streets, colorful harbors, and centuries-old landmarks, while inland routes reveal the rural beauty of Istria.

On each day, the undulating terrain tests your mettle, but the rewards – both scenic and sensory – are unmatched!

Throughout the journey, you can expect a mix of technical climbs, exhilarating descents, and stretches that allow you to find your rhythm. An expert guide will accompany you throughout the tour, offering invaluable support, encouragement, and expertise.

With their deep knowledge of the terrain and local culture, they ensure your experience is seamless, from navigating the most scenic routes to finding the best spots for a well-deserved break.

For added ease, logistics are expertly managed, ensuring you can focus entirely on the road.

Frequently Asked Questions

We offer road cycling, trekking cycling and mountain biking holidays.


Our road cycling holidays are suitable for avid road cycling enthusiasts whose endurance is high enough to withstand multiple long cycling days in a row.


Our trekking cycling holidays are suitable for anyone, as the stages are short enough for most people, and the terrain is not technical — mostly tarmac and gravel. They will still be enjoyed most by people who cycle occasionally and feel comfortable with multiple days in a row on the saddle and some moderate climbing. For those looking for more leisurely cycling holidays, we offer an e-bike option.


Our e-MTB holidays are suitable for most people comfortable on a mountain bike who are fine with some rougher gravel roads and steeper hills, made easier with electric assistance. However, the single trails MTB holidays are suitable mostly for avid mountain bikers, as they tackle technical trails and fast descents, but are very adjustable to your skills and style of riding.

On our guided tours, you will have professional local guides. Our guides will make sure that you will have expert guidance combined with great fun and a memorable experience.

We are always looking for the perfect fit for you. We use a few different accommodation providers that fit our standards but they are subjected to availability, especially in the high season. We can also adjust the holiday, keeping in mind your preferences and budget and can always find a more suitable solution for your taste.

Our tours can be adapted to any bike type, whether road, gravel, or mountain bike. We are in constant communication with you to find the optimal conditions for your cycling holidays in Slovenia.


The most versatile option is a gravel bike, even if you are coming on a road cycling holiday. It does not really affect your road performance while allowing you to take some scenic backroads that can be in a slightly worse state than the main ones. A gravel bike is usually more comfortable as well.


In any way, Slovenia is a very diverse country and there is something for every cyclist. Whichever bike you choose, we will find the perfect route for you to take on your cycling holidays.

If you are not bringing your own bike and equipment, we can certainly arrange that for you. We have a wide selection of bikes at our disposal and we will choose the ones that best fit your tour. All we need from you is your usual bike size and any other relevant information or preferences so we can make sure you will be comfortable throughout your trip.

Bike rentals include the bike that has been agreed upon, delivery prior to and pickup after your tour. Additional equipment is also included: helmet, an extra chain, basic repair kit and pedals if necessary.

We recommend booking as early as possible. Most of our tours run through very touristy places where accommodation is limited. Most of the great places start getting booked for summer before spring.

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.
