|
Highlights
- Climb the Mangart road — the highest paved road in Slovenia (2,050m)
- Ride the Krvavec benchmark used by Slovenian professional teams
- Cross the Predil Pass and descend into the Soča valley
- Cycle the Pokljuka plateau from Lake Bled in the heart of the Julian Alps
- Close the week with the 147-kilometre Alpe Gran Fondo loop
- Chase a dedicated Strava KOM segment on every stage
A challenging road cycling tour with average daily distances of around 100 km and between 1,500 and 2,000 metres of climbing. The terrain is entirely paved — alpine roads, quieter valley sections, and high-mountain climbs that reach up to 2,000 metres. Every stage features at least one sustained alpine climb. This is a tour for cyclists with a solid training base — comfortable with 4–6 hour stages, back-to-back climbing days, and the rhythm of a full week on the bike. Not suitable for e-bikes.
Longest stage — Stage 5
The last stage (on Day 6) is also the longest and most demanding. Almost 150 kilometers and three mountain passes that amount to 2100 meters of climbing.

Five stages, 500 kilometres and roughly 9,000 metres of climbing — a week built around the training roads of Slovenia's Grand Tour winners, with a Strava KOM segment to chase on every stage.
Slovenia is one of the most compressed cycling countries in Europe. In a single week, you can ride from Lake Bled in the Julian Alps to the highest road in the country reachable by road bike, drop into the Soča Valley, and finish on a karst plateau above the Vipava wine country.
The climbs are the spine of the week. Krvavec is the test piece Slovenian pro teams use as a benchmark — sustained, with no flat sections to hide on. Pokljuka Plateau is one of the Julian Alps’ highlights at 1,250 metres, reached straight from the scenic Lake Bled.
Mangart is the highest road in Slovenia accessible by road bike, switchbacking above the treeline to almost 2,000 metres. The ascent to Predmeja climbs from the Vipava Valley straight onto the Trnovski Gozd karst plateau. The closing Queen Stage strings together three passes around Logar Valley — Jezerski Vrh, Pavlič Saddle, and Volovljek — in a single 147-kilometre loop from Ljubljana.
The week is built to challenge a regular amateur road cyclist while still taking you through Slovenia's most scenic corners. Bikes are delivered to your hotel and fitted to your preferences on Day 1. You'll have GPS tracks for every stage along with Strava KOM data, and accommodation and private transfers are arranged as per the itinerary.
