SLOVENIA CYCLE TOUR
Discover the beauty of Slovenia by bike. From the picturesque capital of Ljubljana cycle north towards the Austrian border & the Logar Valley. Next ride west to Lake Bled, Slovenia’s fairytale lake via small winding roads & switchback climbs. After a day spent resting or riding in Bled, ride west once again to Bovec & take on the cobbled switchbacks of the Vrisic pass. The last day of riding takes us into Italy for an Espresso, then on to the highest point of the tour & Slovenia’s highest Alpine climb, the Mangart saddle.
Stay in four beautiful accommodations along the route & enjoy the full support of a dedicated Eat Sleep Cycle team.
