A fun and exciting Alpine style mountain bike holiday in the Julian Alps of Slovenia. It seems like Slovenia must have been designed for mountain biking, with every kind of bike trail imaginable in the high valleys of the Julian Alps and neighbouring ranges. From our base in the the small alpine town of Kranjksa Gora, close to the border with both Austria and Italy, we head out each day to bike the best trails this delightful country can offer. Expect the biking to be on a variety of fast and gnarly descents, challenging forest track climbs and singletrack bike thrills amongst some of the most beautiful scenery in Europe. To add variety, we'll also be biking deep underground in a disused mine and whitewater rafting on the stunning Soca River. As a finale we'll use a ski-lift to access the biking thrills of the downhill course at Kranjska Gora Bike Park which is constructed every summer on the slopes of Vitranc Mountain. With great Slovenian food and hospitality and some of the best biking you've never had, we just know you'll love this bike trip in beautiful Slovenia.
Ride Guide
FAT TYRE ADVENTURE. Our aim when setting up this trip was to create a varied and exciting experience that would not only afford us some fantastic biking, but also allow us to explore different mountain areas of Slovenia within reasonable daily vehicle transfer distances. To achieve this we used our own local knowledge gained from several years of biking in Slovenia and in conjunction with local riders to provide a real mountain biking experience. The resulting adventure is aimed at regular mountain bikers, who are looking for thrills and a challenge. It is not really a suitable trip for beginners. Some of the climbs are quite long and many of the descents are fast and furious. This trip has a bit of everything. Fire roads, technical rocky trails, Muletarias (WW1 singletrack mountain trails), forest tracks, man-made trails, challenging ascents and fast descents. Best enjoyed by regular riders looking for an alpine experience on uncrowded trails. The support vehicle generally cannot follow the bikes. Average 40 km/25 miles per day.
