Mountain Biking in Slovenia 
Duration: 8 days
Feel the freedom and experience amazing views of the southern Julian Alps on this moderately challenging mountain biking break as we tour over and around picturesque plateaus and valleys.
Explore this fabulous country at your own pace and escape from the main roads with this week long mountain biking experience trip.
Mountain biking in the pristine mountains around Bovec is special, as the valley’s unique climate allows biking from March to the end of November.
We offer guided tours in a radius of 100 km around Bovec (upper Soca valley, upper Sava valley), ranging across many different degrees of difficulty and lengths. Trips can be further adapted to suit the size, experience and skill of our guests. Our guided trips offer much more than just spinning pedals for a few hours. They are an adventure immersed in the pristine nature and turbulent history of our part of Slovenia, brought to you by the legs and heads of our fully qualified guides.
All our guides have full UCI compliant certification. We also rent high-end CULT mountain bikes, from regular XC hardtails and full suspension all mountain bikes to freeride rigs. Our fleet exceeds 20 bikes so we are sure to have one to cover all your needs. We also house a bicycle gear shop and service.
You will be staying in Hotel Alp on a half-board basis for 7 nights. The hotel is ideally located in the heart of the town of Bovec and is a modern 3 star hotel with a touch of the traditional. It has 103 comfortable rooms with 218 beds in total. All rooms are equipped with cable TV, telephone, hair dryer and some have a mini bar and balcony. The hotel has two restaurants where you can choose from a wide selection of dishes on the buffet table and enjoy pastries from the in-house patisserie on the terrace or in the Rest A Bar. For further relaxation after a busy day, the sauna awaits, where you can enjoy the new Finnish, Turkish and infrared saunas.
