Come to Slovenia and explore the picturesque area around the famous Lake Bled. The amazing natural heritage of Slovenia is just waiting for you to discover it on this cycling holiday. In only 3 days, you’ll visit Bled’s main tourist attractions and cycle around one of the most scenic parts of Slovenia.

Lake Bled is probably the most famous tourist attraction in Slovenia. Its romantic lake with the small church island in the middle attracts a lot of visitors, and is seen on every second postcard from Slovenia. And it’s for a good reason. It’s not only beautiful in itself but is also located at the doorstep of the Julian Alps and the Triglav National Park. That makes it a wonderful place to base your stay and explore the magnificent surroundings by bike.

Every day of this cycling holiday will see us discover new trails in the most diverse number of landscapes. One day will be reserved for discovering the hidden paths around Bled, visiting its best tourist attractions, and finishing the day with the panoramic view of the lake. The next day we will ascend to the Pokljuka Plateau and enjoy the tranquility of the dense spruce forests. On the last day, we will ascend to the wooded Jelovica, from which you’ll be able to enjoy the breathtaking panorama of the Julian Alps.

If you want to enjoy the holiday in the most carefree way possible, choose to go on a guided cycling holiday around Bled. If freedom and the ability to adjust your schedule based on your preferences are primary, then the self-guided version is for you. Either way, we’ll provide you with electric mountain bikes, which will help you tackle any terrain that comes your way. That will enable you to focus more on enjoying the mesmerizing surroundings and less on catching your breath after every uphill climb. It also means that the cycling holiday is suitable for everyone, at every level of physical fitness.

Is there anything else stopping you? Book your holiday now and prepare to experience the beautiful surroundings of Lake Bled.

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.
