SLOVENIA GRAVEL CYCLING TOUR
A gravel adventure through Europe’s hidden cycling frontier.
Some destinations are about ticking boxes. Slovenia is about discovering what’s around the next corner.
Our Slovenia Gravel Cycling Adventure takes you beyond the familiar cycling routes of Europe and into a landscape where every day feels different. From crystal-clear Alpine lakes and forest-covered mountain plateaus to vineyard valleys, ancient villages and the sparkling Adriatic coastline, Slovenia delivers endless variety.
This journey is created together with our trusted local Slovenia partners — passionate cyclists who know this country like their own backyard. Their knowledge of quiet roads, hidden valleys and roads less travelled allows us to experience Slovenia beyond the obvious.
This is gravel riding at its best — wide open roads, quiet forests, flowing climbs and spectacular scenery. The surfaces are smooth, the landscapes are wild, and the adventure comes from never quite knowing what awaits around the next bend.
We’ll ride through the heart of Slovenia, weaving between regions and crossing into Italy and Croatia along the way, experiencing the unique cultures, flavours and landscapes that make this part of Europe so special.
This is more than a gravel tour. It is a journey through one of Europe’s most beautiful and authentic cycling destinations — the Après Vélo way.
TOUR OVERVIEW
Slovenia may be small in size, but it offers one of the most diverse cycling landscapes in Europe.
Over seven unforgettable days, we ride from the historic capital of Ljubljana through the Julian Alps, Triglav National Park, the famous wine region of Goriška Brda, the Karst plateau and finally to the Adriatic coast.
The riding is what makes this journey unique. Expect beautifully maintained gravel roads, flowing climbs, quiet backroads and endless opportunities to immerse yourself in the landscape.
Our experienced local ride partners are with us every step of the way. They bring a lifetime of knowledge, guiding us along the hidden routes, secret viewpoints and quiet roads that most visitors simply never find.
Along the way we cross borders almost without noticing, moving between Slovenia, Italy and Croatia as we discover the history, culture and flavours of this incredible corner of Europe.
With carefully selected accommodation, incredible local food and wine, full support and the perfect balance between riding and relaxation, this is gravel cycling elevated into a complete travel experience.
THE SLOVENIA TOUR IS A TRIP FOR GRAVEL GRINDERS & ADVENTURE SEEKERS WHICH WILL CREATE FOND MEMORIES TO LAST A LIFETIME.
