Bicycling the Grand Tour of Slovenia - Adventure Travel Group

Slovenia has it all a "minature Europe": The dramatic Julian Alps, impressive underground caves, stunning alpine lakes, well-preserved medieval villages and monasteries, charming villages, rolling hills and vineyards. Slovenia natural forests cover 50% of the country is fantastic for cycling along scenic and quiet roads.

From Ljubljana, the delightful capital of Slovenia, we’ll circle north over the Julian Alps and the Soca River Valley, then on to Brda wine area, Kras and the remote southeast part of the country, home to vineyards, virgin forests, traditional farms and villages, medieval monasteries and modern thermal spas.

This trip is a challenging and extensive cycling tour of the most interesting and undiscovered areas of Slovenia. We also have a unique opportunity to ride many of the training routes used by the Slovenian pro cyclists.

Airport Arrival/Departure City: Ljubljana or Venice

Average Daily Mileage and Terrain
We’ll ride an average of 50-60 miles, over hilly terrain. You have plenty of options for riding more or less, and for those who are looking for a challenge there are some great climbs in this area—including two optional 4,000-foot climbs into the Julian Alps!

What Our Guests Are Saying
"Get it right the first time! Trust your next European cycling vacation to Gary and Lise, and you'll be rewarded with expert attention to even the smallest details. We traveled with them to Croatia on a first-ever trip, and were very pleased with how they made us feel right at home. Unique to their small-group setting is the lodging, food, cycling routes, and 'local flavor' you won't get with bigger groups. We can't wait to travel with them again!" Bob and Lynn Green Lynchburg, Virginia

"If you want large busses, large groups and large, "big box" hotels, Adventure Travel Group isn't for you. BUT, if you enjoy being away from the normal tourist grind, small and friendly groups, and guides who personally have experienced every hotel, restaurant and ride, then travel with Gary and Lise. I'll soon be booking my third bike tour and now think of them as friends!"
