Slovenia

Slovenia and Italy are the perfect pairing of countries to combine into one exhilarating bike tour. What’s to like? The countries are small with dramatic scenery, quiet roads to bike and some wonderful hotels.

In Friuli, Italy, you will ride through vineyards and orchards, and in Unesco World Heritage town of Cividale, you will, as we did, find heaven on earth. Did we mention the food is some of the best in Europe?

We’ve got a treasure trove of ‘off-the-beaten path’ restaurants, wine tasting opportunities and other discoveries to share. This will surely become one of our most popular trips - go soon, before the secret is out.

Starting with Ljubljana, the 9 day tour allows for a full day to see its Old World Plazas, baroque churches and dramatic castles. Then visit Bled, with its wondrous turquoise lake and divine cycling.

Arrive in Bled to admire its turquoise lakes and charming villages before embarking on a 10-day hike past winding rivers, picturesque castles, and impressive mountain peaks.

Arrive in Begunje, a village below the Karavanke mountains, before embarking on a 7-day hike past winding rivers, picturesque castles, and impressive mountain peaks. The scenery is stunning.
