We have 3 types of family cycling tours in Slovenia.
Option 1: is our guided programs. We offer this on three levels, easy, moderate and advanced. Basically the difference is the duration / distance and altitudes. Our easy program is around 10 km and can be designed for families. We recommend this for families on active vacation in Slovenia looking to see some lovely nature under the care of local expert guides. Its suitable for kids 10+. This route can also be done on a non-guided basis. We recommend Lake Bohinj for the easy level tours.
Option 2: is our moderate program. Again we operate in and around Lake bohinj area and typically do 15-25km depending on the individuals needs / ability and interests. We can also offer this program to families on active holiday in Slovenia with teenagers in tow. We recommend this for families with teenagers 14+. Note bikes in Slovenia are set up the opposite way to the UK so front brake is on the left side. This is very important to remind guests especially the ‘teenagers’. Again this program can be done on guided or n on guided basis.
Option 3: is our advanced program and is designed for experienced riders. These are generally non-guided unless requested otherwise. We will provide bikes and route maps. For cycling we have designed routes around Lake Bohinj including some great waterfall stops and viewpoints enroute. For downhill enthusiasts we organise this at Kranjska Gora – which is a fantastic facility. It has clearly marked trails. So generally, this is a self-guided cycle activity.

Come ride with us!
We will collect you from the agreed hotel at the agreed time. See times below. Depending on what you have booked we will either take you to our shop near Lake Bohinj for fitment or to Kransjka Gora. Again depending on what you have booked we will provide bikes, helmets, maps and advice; as well as 24/7 support mobile numbers. If you are doing a guided cycle tour or family cycle tour you will be assigned a cycle guide.
Our Slovenia cycle activities range from 1.5 hrs to 8 hours. It’s important to let us know beforehand if you have any special requirements that we may need to be aware of prior.
At the end of your respective tours we will take you back to Ljubljana.
Easier than expected
We booked cycling throughout the hinterland, although we don’t cycle much back home. It was absolutely superb. The route wasn’t too hard, the weather was great (we travelled in May) and scenery was amazing. It was the right balance for a family. My kids are 12 and 13, both have average fitness.

Discover more hidden areas
We wanted to discover more hidden areas of this remarkable region, so booked a cycling family tour. Biking along quiet roads, off-the-beaten track trail & through hidden hill sides & meadows, this is a Slovenian cycling expedition that will live long in our memory banks! Marco was a great guy and guide. Safety was brilliant and the support van was always close by. It was quite challenging in places, but we all succeeded in the end. Many thanks

Swoop down the descent
Although not massively keen on mountain biking, this trip was pretty good. Not too easy, not to hard – a solid balance. So i was very pleased about that! We saw the countryside, small villages, dirt tracks, paths along the river and quiet winding roads. It’s certainly an amazing experience to tuck in, and swoop down the descent of those Slovenia back roads, with the Julian Alps in front of you! The kids struggled and the wife moaned about the cycling effort. So cant grade a perfect designed cycle route

Lovely people met
Very enjoyable day tour. Lovely people met, lovely weather, lovely place, what more could you ask for. We would have liked to stay for longer but overall this was a great biking experience. I would recommend it.
