Discover the hidden treasures of Slovenia on this exhilarating hiking and cycling adventure, a perfect blend of cycling and hiking that promises a unique combination of unforgettable experiences, breathtaking landscapes, and cultural immersion.

As a small and diverse country, Slovenia offers a stunning array of natural wonders and cultural attractions — from the vibrant capital of Ljubljana to the enchanting Lake Bled, the picturesque countryside to the majestic mountain peaks.

By combining hiking and cycling, you’ll explore the best of Slovenia’s landscapes, discovering hidden gems and iconic sights at your own pace, ensuring you don’t miss a single unforgettable moment.

This tour strikes the perfect balance between the freedom of self-guided cycling and the expertise of a hiking guide, who will reveal the secret corners and best bits of Slovenia while ensuring a seamless experience.

Entirely flexible, it caters to various fitness levels and interests. Our itinerary is not set in stone. It only serves as one example of how we could structure your holiday. Hikes can be tailored to your preferences by making them more or less demanding.

The cycling routes are easy to follow with the help of our handout with a day-by-day itinerary and GPS navigation. But we can still make the necessary arrangements if you prefer to be accompanied by a cycling guide.

Our goal is to provide you with an unforgettable, stress-free holiday. We take care of all the details, including booking accommodations, arranging bike rentals and guide bookings, and planning your personalized itinerary.

With our 24/7 support, you can have peace of mind knowing we’re just a call away, ready to assist with any questions or concerns.

It’s time to dust off your hiking boots, oil your bike chain, and let us whisk you away to the enchanting land of Slovenia. You can start exploring the hidden corners of our country on two wheels and two feet in no time.

Europe Cycling Holidays organized a customized, self-guided road cycling trip for my husband and I from Ljubljana to the Julian Alps and ending in Piran in Slovenia. At the beginning of the organizing process, I used their ZOOM mtg option to ask a lot of questions and determine what we wanted e.g. hotels, room upgrades, routes, etc. With follow-up emails over the next few weeks, and fixing a few glitches that arose, we were excited for our 10-day trip. And we were NOT disappointed! Our trip was amazing. The rental bikes, hotels, GPX files, scheduled luggage transfers, detailed itinerary in an app (including restaurant suggestions, GPS profiles, bike shops en route, luggage pickups), etc. were all amazing. The country of Slovenia is incredibly beautiful and we enjoyed the challenges of the routes in the Alps, the serenity of Lake Bled, the spectacular scenery of Goriška Brda wine region, and everything in between. We had quick responses via WhatsApp from Customer Service for any issues we had during our trip e.g. organizing a van transfer on a day we decided not to ride due to a fall and bad weather. Overall, we had a great experience in Slovenia and highly recommend Europe Cycling Holidays.

The bike trip exceeded my expectations and was beyond fantastic. From Ljubljana to Bled with a guide through the Hidden Hills. Then my first solo self guided from the Alps in Bled to Piran in the Adriatic. I can’t say enough about the Slovenia Cycling Holidays crew who gave me guidance and confidence to take out on my own. Not to mention the extraordinary routes that they mapped out.

Had a fantastic cycling tour in Slovenia for our group of 12 organised by Slovenia Cycling Holidays covering Ljubljana, Lake Bled and Kranjska Gora over a week. Beautiful scenery, great road surface to ride, excellent ride guides who focussed on local aspects, riding safety and fitted in really well with our group. We experienced good organisation for the tailored tour which included local cultural and historical perspectives and arranged a good programme for two non-riders. Highly recommended place to cycle and certainly recommend Slovenia Cycling Holidays to assist with your trip.

We recently completed the cycling tour from Bled to Piran with Slovenia Cycling Holidays. All the organising and running of the tour was excellent. We had excellent communication with Anna during the planning and also excellent and very helpful advice during the trip from Timotej We were unlucky on the final day to strike severe thunderstorms which made the day very difficult and less enjoyable. The weather stopped us enjoying the wonderful scenery into Piran. Timotej offered to transport us, but we wished to complete the ride. We can wholeheartedly recommend this Company if you wish a good cycling adventure with very good accommodation along the way. Thanks Anja and Timothy

So last minute holiday and the team at Slovenia Cycling managed to turn around a bespoke package really quickly in peak tourist season! The cycle routes are great and easy to follow whilst the trip app has all the details on hotels and transfers whilst the things to see and places to eat was invaluable. Team are super responsive when you have questions which are handled quickly on Whats App. Will definitely use them again.
