Locally planned. Personally supported.
Slovenia Bike Tours is a locally run cycling specialist founded by Nejc Grilc. Every route is shaped by first-hand knowledge of the roads, climbs and quieter connections between the Julian Alps, Lake Bled, the Soča Valley, Slovenia’s wine country and the Adriatic coast.
We organise self-guided and private cycling holidays with carefully selected accommodation, luggage transfers, GPS navigation, quality bike rental and local support throughout the journey. The result is an independent adventure with the essential details already taken care of—and a real person nearby whenever plans need to change.

Slovenia is an excellent choice for riders who want a lot of variety in a short amount of time. The country is small enough to explore easily, yet diverse enough to offer a new landscape every day. One stage can take you through quiet alpine valleys, the next past vineyards, forests, karst villages, or towards the Adriatic Sea.
Cycling here feels personal and relaxed. Many routes follow smaller local roads, scenic valleys, and well-maintained paths where the pace of travel allows you to notice more than just the distance covered. For active travellers, Slovenia combines nature, food, culture, and outdoor sport in a very compact and enjoyable way.
Slovenia is generally considered a safe and comfortable country for cycling. Outside the main towns and larger roads, traffic is often light, especially on carefully selected cycling routes that we provide. From years of our experience, we will design the routes for you with the least amount of traffic possible. The road surface is usually good, and cycling is a familiar part of everyday outdoor life in many parts of the country.
As with any cycling holiday, normal road awareness is still important. We plan routes with safety, scenery, and ride quality in mind, avoiding busy sections whenever possible. But you are always responsible for your safety on the bike and must always adhere to road laws to ensure a smooth tour.
The best months for a cycling holiday in Slovenia are usually from April to late October. During this period, the weather is most suitable for longer days outdoors, mountain roads are more accessible, and the countryside is at its most enjoyable.
May, June, September, and early October are especially good choices for riders who prefer milder temperatures and quieter routes. July and August can also be beautiful, particularly in the Alps, but these months are warmer and busier in popular tourist areas.
Yes, you are welcome to travel with your own bike. Many experienced cyclists prefer using equipment they already know and feel comfortable with, especially on multi-day tours.
If bringing your own bike is not practical, we can provide premium road, gravel bikes and e-bikes for an additional fee. All options are carefully chosen for Slovenia's mixed terrain, from rolling countryside and paved climbs to gravel roads and longer touring days.
Our tours are mainly private and tailor-made. This means the tour can be adapted to your group, your riding level, and the type of holiday you want.
You can choose a relaxed pace with more time for food, wine, and sightseeing, or a more active version with longer stages and extra climbing. The daily schedule, route difficulty, and overall rhythm of the trip can all be adjusted before the tour.
If you need to cancel your booking, the refund depends on how much notice is given before the tour start date.
For cancellations made more than 30 days before the beginning of the tour, guests receive a full refund of the amount paid for the reservation.
For cancellations made from 30 to 14 days before the tour start date, guests are entitled to a refund of 50% of the booking amount. If anything happens and you need to cancel the tour in the last 14 days prior to the start, we will find a suitable solution together. We know that things happen and before anything else we want to ensure that our guests are happy and comfortable in booking a tour with us.
