Road bike holiday in Slovenia
Slovenia is not yet well known as holiday destination – especially when it comes to road bike holidays in the Alps. But this is exactly what makes this country so attractive. Here you will still find many places with no tourists. There is hardly any traffic on the roads and you can choose from many different tours. The landscape of Slovenia is really extraordinarily beautiful, and if you like clocking up altitude metres, then you will get here what your heart desires.
This region is shaped by the Karawanken and Julian Alps – so in the north you’ll find mountain passes and high-altitude tours, whereas the mountains in the west are gentler and hillier. In summary: wonderful landscapes for your road biking holiday! The highlights:
- Bled in the Triglav National Park – a must!
- Mild climate with a long season
- The 3 passes tour

Slovenia is the gravel biking insider tip. Here, the Mediterranean east meets the Alpine foothills in the northwest, quiet side roads meet gravel paths, and underground biking meets summit joy. Falling head over heels in love with gravel adventure is easy here.
When one thinks of the sunny peninsula in the Mediterranean, one thinks of winding coastal roads and a maritime climate. However, the strengths of the Slovenian part of the road bike & gravel region are also hidden in the hilly hinterland. Because in the lush karst landscape, solitude can be discovered. A real insider tip for road bikers.
