Cycling Tours of Slovenia

Despite being a relatively small country nestled at the heart of Europe, Sloveni punches well above its weight when it comes to cycling tours. In fact, it's one of the more underappreciated countries in this region, with just as much to offer as neighbouring Italy and Croatia.

In a land where the Alps meet the Mediterranean, you'll find an enchanting blend of natural beauty, cultural depth and cycling routes for all abilities. A landscape ripe with verdant valleys, majestic mountains and crystal-clear waters creates the perfect backdrop for a cycling holiday in Slovenia with friends, family or loved ones.

The country is well-equipped for bike tours and adventures, with an extensive network of well-maintained cycling routes and a diverse range of terrains suitable for both road and mountain biking. Furthermore, Slovenia promotes itself as a sustainable and active tourism destination, allowing you to enjoy the splendour of the region while supporting its preservation.

Our Slovenia bicycle tours take in some of the most evocative landscapes the country has to offer. You'll have the chance to revel in the awe-inspiring Julian Alps on the borders of Italy and Austria, bathe in the dazzling blue waters of the iconic Lake Bled and ride through Slovenia's answer to Tuscany, boasting rolling vineyards and spectacular hilltop villages. And that's just to name a few.

Our Secrets of Slovenia cycling tour finishes in the country's Istrian region, specifically the coastal towns of Koper and Piran. This is the only coastal area offering access to the Adriatic Sea, the northernmost region of the Mediterranean.
