About The Host
Blaz and Mario

Blaz and Mario

Blaz is Slovenian and lives in Bled. He loves MTB, road and gravel, but most of all he loves to share Slovenian culture with cyclists who visit from across the world.

During the past 10 years, Mario has lived in different countries, but now he's back home in Conegliano to ride every steep hill in the area! Despite his focus on road cycling, he's had some amazing moments with his beloved steel gravel bike! Mario has been a member of the team since 2019 and couldn't be happier! He looks forward to seeing you on the road soon!

Itinerary

Day 1

Meet the team at the hotel in the capital, Ljubljana. Head off on a short warm-up ride up the local climb into Besnica. Before returning, take a detour to Ljubljana Castle - originally a medieval fortress rebuilt in the 12th Century. Tonight, enjoy an aperitif in Ljubljana's best rooftop to catch some of the most spectacular views of the city before having dinner. We can arrange private transfers on request from Ljubljana or Trieste.

Day 2

The journey begins by riding up into Logar Valley. This is a beautiful region with alpine glacial valleys which flow into the Kamnik-Savinja Alps in the north of Slovenia. This ride has a long and steady ascent, a nice way to get the legs moving.

Day 3

Begin with the main challenge of the day as you climb into Austria - a 9 km climb gaining 700 metres. There is a short and sweet descent before tackling the second and more gentle climb into the Jezersko region of Slovenia. There are plenty of coffee stop opportunities to refuel before reaching Lake Bled.

Day 4

Today can be taken as a rest day or a recovery ride by riding down to Lake Bohinj, where the moutains are mirrored into the lake. Enjoy wine tasting by Lake Bled in the afternoon and regain your stengths for the next days ride.

Day 5

Another mountain awaits you today, the Vršič Pass. This was formally known as the Russian Road and was built for military services. The climb features 50 hairpins and breathtaking views. Arrvive into Bovec and recharge by going for a swin in the Soca valley.

Day 6

Today has two options. You can either test your legs up the Mangart Saddle (2055 m) offerring panoramic views of Slovenia. Or, take a more relaxing but equally beautiful ride along the valley down to Tolmin village and back.

Day 7

Sadly, it is time to depart. A group transfer departs for Ljubljana at 10:00 am. Private transfers to Tireste can be arrange on request.
