Trip Informations
Why you’ll love this trip
Pedal through the beautiful landscapes of the Triglav National Park, passing mountains, ravines, lakes, canyons, caves, rivers, forests and Alpine meadows.
Stay in the stunning lakeside town of Bled and discover the famous Lake Bled and the surrounding mountains, forests and flower-filled valleys on your bike.
Explore the fascinating Postojna Cave – an incredibly biodiverse underground world of eerie rock formations and unusual creatures, like the blind cave salamander.
Cycle through the scenic hills and vineyards of Slovenia’s wine region, pausing the pedaling for an included tasting at a local winery.
Begin your adventure in Slovenia’s capital, Ljubljana – one of the prettiest cities in Europe – and finish in Piran – a picturesque seaside city on Slovenia’s stunning Adriatic coast.
By travelling on this trip, you’ll directly support our Tuuur Foundation partner, World Bicycle Relief. Donations provide school kids, health workers, and farmers in far-out areas with bicycles that provide access to education, healthcare, and income.
Is this trip right for you?
On this trip we have a single leader that rides with the group, and another that drives the support vehicle (acting as a back marker where needed). Where the vehicle cannot travel directly with the cyclists (e.g. a cyclists-only path) your leader will assign a person from the group to act as a back marker.
To complete this trip, it’s important that you’re both confident and competent in riding a bicycle. As our riding is done mostly on sealed roads with the occasional gravel cycle path there are no technical cycling skills required. Remember we will always have the support vehicle on hand if you need to take a break for an hour or a day.
Itinerary
Cycle your way through the spectacular scenery of Slovenia
It’s beautiful, it’s bite-sized and it’s best explored on a bike – on this active adventure, spend eight days discovering Slovenia on two wheels, from Ljubljana to Piran. Cycle around the famous Lake Bled, wind through the natural beauty of Triglav National Park, take in alpine views from the slopes of Kranjska Gora, follow the emerald waters of the Soca River and explore the biodiverse Postojna Cave. When you’re not busy pedalling, you’ll enjoy picnics, barbecues, coffee stops and winery visits, and see Slovenia’s short but stunning Adriatic coastline. One thing’s for sure – this is going to be a ride to remember!

This was a fantastic trip experiencing snow capped mountains, lakes, turquoise rivers, vineyards and the Adriatic. Slovenia had it all. Our guides Davor and Dani were exceptional with great knowledge and humour. Book an e-bike if you don’t like too many hills!

My first time on an intrepid trip. I would recommend it especially if you haven’t travelled much out of your own country. We were extremely we looked after.

Excellent, well organised cycling trip in a beautiful country. Varied scenery from mountain, lakes, quaint villages, gorges, spectacular rivers to vineyards and beaches. We rode on quiet roads or cycle lanes. Davor, our cycle leader, knew the routes extremely well and gave us accurate distances on the ups and downs of each section of our cycling day for those who wanted it.. He also factored in great coffee stops about an hour after starting each cycling day and these also had good toilets! Both equally important!! He was enthusiastic, fun and so knowledgable on geography, history, and food. He and Dani worked extremely hard to ensure we had a fabulous time and kept us safe. Thank you.

Cycle Slovenia is a very well organised and presented tour. The Intrepid staff on my departure were excellent in every way, and really helped create a positive group dynamic. Slovenia itself has lovely, varied scenery, and seems not to be over-touristed- ideal for cycling.

Had a great cycling Slovenia hosted by Davor and our driver Mario both were full of knowledge on their country's history. The scenery was epic the colour of the water and mountains so special to cycle through. Had a small group of four so very spoilt to have a guide and driver. Thanks Davor and Mario it was a trip to remember.
