Slovenia Mountain Biking Holiday
SLOVENIA | MOUNTAIN BIKING | E-BIKE | GUIDED | 2024
8 days mountain biking holidays in Slovenia with riding in the Julian Alps., Soča valley, Karst and Adriatic region. Biking in Slovenian west part is an unforgettable and pristine adventure. At each kilometre on bikes, it is possible to experience something special and unexpected. You will ride in the heart of the sunny side of the Alps. Amazing mountain biking holiday.
Slovenia, and in particular the west part has some of the best mountain biking trails that can be experienced in Europe. It's paradise of endless single track descending. It is almost a little mysterious when the word touches mountain biking and trails. On one hand, one can find marvellous biking trails, but on the other hand, a lot of energy and good will has to be put into making it all work – to make it a surplus biking tour.
The feeling, when one is riding a bike down a narrow, winding trail to the valley is indescribable. The emotions, when one is surrounded by pristine nature of Slovenian mountains, Carst or Adriatic are unforgettable. All this and more is mountain biking on numerous trails, remote lanes and forest tracks in the Slovenian green nature, which offers, an abundance of primal biking explorations.
