The Best Time to Cycle Slovenia

Slovenia is at its most radiant from late May to September. Late spring and early summer offer lush, green landscapes and roaring waterfalls fueled by alpine snowmelt. For those looking to tackle the high passes of the Julian Alps, July and August provide the most stable weather, while September is perfect for cycling the vineyard-covered hills of the Goriška Brda under a gentle, golden sun.

Cycling in Slovenia is a journey of dramatic contrasts. One day you are gliding through the serene, forest-lined valleys surrounding Lake Bled, and the next you are conquering the serpentines of the Vršič Pass. The roads are remarkably quiet and well-maintained, offering a riding experience that caters to both climbing enthusiasts and those seeking leisurely rides through emerald river valleys.

This tour immerses you in one of Europe’s best-kept secrets. From the crystalline beauty of the Soča River to the peaks of Triglav National Park, the scenery is breathtaking. Beyond the nature, you will discover the elegant charm of Ljubljana, the vineyards of Goriška Brda, and a culture that sits at the crossroads of Slavic, Austrian, and Italian influences.
