Slovenia offers a great deal of variety for a cycling holiday, and the two programmes on this page show off two quite different sides of it. One heads towards the Adriatic coast, while the other takes you into the mountains along the Soca river, so you can choose between sea views and alpine scenery.
The Parenzana Grand Tour is a six-day gravel cycling holiday along the historic Parenzana railway trail. You start at the Italian border at Muggia, ride down the Slovenian coast and carry on past the crystal-clear waters of Istria to finish in Porec, passing through Italy, Slovenia and Croatia along the way. It covers around 123 km of gravel, averaging a relaxed 45 km and 450 m of climb, so it suits you if you would like steady, unhurried days in the saddle.
The Trans Slovenia Self-Guided Bikepacking trip on the Valley Route lasts four days and runs through Slovenia's Soca Valley. You follow the emerald Soca river through alpine scenery for around 198 km, with 3,070 m of climbing, which makes it a better match if you are comfortable with more ascent and like to ride independently. GPX navigation keeps you on track, and you stay in comfortable B&Bs and hotels with breakfast.
You can pick a relaxed gravel ride across three countries to the coast, or a self-guided bikepacking route through the valleys. Either way, both programmes set out the distance and climbing clearly, so you know what to expect before you book.
The programmes on this page run for four or six days. The Trans Slovenia Self-Guided Bikepacking Valley Route takes four days, and the Parenzana Grand Tour is a six-day holiday.
