Slovenia is one of the most diverse places in Europe. The amount of different landscapes you can explore in such a small place is unrivaled by any other on the old continent. Among the many different ways of exploring areas like Slovenia, cycling is becoming more and more popular.
Yes, walking allows you to be outside and breathe clean air, but it’s slow and physically demanding. Driving around in a car is nice because you can quickly explore many sights but are constrained by roads and don’t get to be outside much. You should combine the best aspects of walking and car-riding and go on a Slovenia cycling holiday! Hopping on an electric bike allows you to both visit the country’s incredible sights and watch the scenery change right before your eyes when riding from place to place.
The electric mountain bike allows you to take on any type of route — From steep ascents up asphalt roads to a relaxing ride on flat gravel tracks. You will be able to feel the wind in your hair while riding through the changing scenery of the valley or take in the incredible view on top of a mountain pass. The tour will take you through the best cycling trails in Slovenia, with a chance of checking out many famous landmarks on the way.
The tour will take you from the capital city of Ljubljana, through the wooded hills above Škofja Loka, into the heart of the Julian Alps. From there, you will cycle through Alpine valleys, cross a panoramic mountain pass and follow the emerald river Soča Valley into the Mediterranean climate and its wine-growing hills of Goriška Brda. Every day will feel like a visit to a new country.
Your cycling holiday in Slovenia will be led by our professional guide, who will not only show you the way but also be able to tell you a lot about the places you'll visit. You will be accompanied by a van, taking care of all the logistics, support, luggage transport, and any repair needed on the bikes. And if any of the participants feels unable to continue the tour, the van is there to help.

Our one week tour of Slovenia with these 3 young local guides surpassed all expectations! We travelled from Bled through the Sovenian Alps all the way to to coastal seaside Piran, through villages , on backroads ….it felt like riding through a story book….a delightful surprise around every turn . Our guides took care of our every need: charming accommodations, snacks every day at fantastic off beat locations, mid-ride. We covered 250 km over 5 riding days. The one day we were rained out, they quickly pivoted, and we were able to visit a wonderful historical national museum, which informed us so much in terms of the history in the Soča valley…So the day became not a write off but an educational experience! It was quite special to know the history of the Soča valley as we journeyed through the region, seeing the incredible geographical diversity of this beautiful country on excellent quality e-bikes. Highly recommend! Trip of a lifetime ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

First class company with a well planned route, great accommodation and simply outstanding support in time of trouble. We did a two week ride from Bled to Pula in September 2023. Fair to say we hit a lot of problems courtesy of BA with rescheduled and diverted flights, lost bags, problems with our own bikes, returning rental bikes and more. Daja was simply amazing in helping us sort all of them out and was so accessible at all hours. She even managed to source and buy a forgotten Thru-axle and deliver it personally to our hotel, which is far and above any service i would reasonably expect. Thank you !! Our accommodation was fantastic and far better than expected in all but one location. The route planning in Slovenia was great but due to our decision to bring road bikes from the UK and the nature of the roads in Croatia, our second week was a bit tricky route wise and it would have been good to have had a discussion about this section beforehand. A Gravel bike is far better suited to Croatia although this was our decision to bring road bikes. Transport arrangement and logistics were flawless. Overall, i would change very little and we will definitely be returning to Slovenia. Daja was fantastic and I absolutely recommend Slovenia Cycling Holidays and will be using their services again.

Top Company, Top Tour ! We did the 7 days tour (from Alps to Adriatic), from Bled to Piran in august 2024 ! It was the best tour made in years. Amazing landscapes and nature, great accommodations and food and perfectly organised. Daja did really a perfect job ! she was allways available for questions or suggestions ! I would recommend this tour to everyone.

Had a ball! We rode from Ljubljana to Bled via the mountains - 5 days/4 nights. Daja did a great job communicating with us and ironing out any hitches as soon as they were identified. E-Bikes were great (and v necessary!), accomm was great and the scenery was extraordinary! Being less fit, I wished I had opted for a days’ break at Lake Bohinj. My legs and butt would have appreciated it. Can’t wait to return and do another riding tour with this company!

We had a wonderful cycling trip, starting in Trieste, then onto Slovenia and Croatia. Before the trip, Klemen was extremely patient with our many questions and addressed our concerns very satisfactorily- even changing the original bike route to meet our needs. The bikes we used ( e-bikes) were in great condition, and easy to use. The hotels were very satisfactory- and included big breakfasts to start our days. The towns we visited were charming. All in all- a first class experience!!
