Road bike holiday in the Julian Alps

The Julian Alps are one of Slovenia’s most impressive road cycling regions. Between alpine passes, wide valleys, and quiet side roads, a varied playground unfolds for both leisure cyclists and ambitious riders. Around Triglav National Park, the Soča Valley, and the Bled region, spectacular landscapes meet iconic cycling routes – accompanied by mild weather and little traffic.

Alpine Classics, Lake Circuits & Legendary Elevation

Road cycling in the Julian Alps means top-level variety. Around Bled, scenic loops along the turquoise Lake Bled start, while valley stretches lead into challenging climbs toward Jamnik, Jezersko, or the heart of Triglav National Park. The tour around the national park is one of the region’s great classics, combining sporting challenges with stunning panoramas.

A true highlight is the Mangart Pass: Slovenia’s highest alpine road with 20 km, narrow lanes, five rock tunnels, and nearly 1,000 meters of elevation. After the ride, Bled offers the perfect recovery – whether cooling off in the lake, relaxing in thermal waters, or enjoying a cream slice with views of the iconic Blejski Otok island. This is road cycling holiday in the Julian Alps.
