Scenic Climbs and Quiet Roads

This multi-day road cycling journey through Slovenia is designed for riders who want to experience the country’s most iconic landscapes in one carefully crafted adventure. From medieval towns and emerald lakes to legendary mountain passes and panoramic valleys, each stage reveals a new highlight.

With full vehicle support and smart logistics, the route connects Slovenia’s most famous climbs — including Vršič, Mangart, Soriška Planina, and Pavličevo Sedlo — with cultural gems such as Škofja Loka, Ljubljana, and Ptuj, as well as world-class natural sights like Lake Bled, Lake Bohinj, and the Logar Valley.

Slovenia’s Legendary Mountain Roads!

After breakfast, we take a morning transfer to Kranjska Gora, where one of the most epic days of the week begins. The challenge starts immediately with the climb to Vršič Pass (1,611 m), the highest road pass in Slovenia.

Entering the capital, we ride through a city marked by the legacy of architect Jože Plečnik, whose work defines Ljubljana’s bridges, riverbanks, and public spaces. The final kilometres are relaxed, leading us into the heart of Slovenia’s vibrant and green capital.

In Ljubljana, we take time to explore the city’s bridges, old town, and lively streets along the Ljubljanica River. After a leisurely visit, we transfer comfortably back to our hotel in Škofja Loka.
