Short Description

Spend 8 days on an active loop through Slovenia's Julian Alps, with three gravel rides from Bled over Pokljuka to Lake Bohinj. Hike to a 2,000 m summit, fly along a zipline above the Sava Dolinka and slide down waterfalls on a guided canyoning trip.

Tour Program

Day 1: Arrival in Lake Bled
You will arrive in Slovenia's classic alpine resort and check into your 3-4★ hotel. A lakeside walk, a visit to Bled Castle or a pletna boat ride to the island will make a gentle start to the active week ahead.

Day 2: Vintgar Gorge & Zipline Dolinka (15 km hike; +290/−290 m; zipline about 2.5 h)
You will follow a scenic walking route to Vintgar Gorge and its wooden walkways above the Radovna river. In the afternoon you will join a guided seven-line zipline adventure high above the Sava Dolinka Valley.

Day 3: Gravel ride Bled – Pokljuka (30 km; +1,000/−130 m)
You will start the gravel journey on village lanes and forest roads, climbing steadily onto the high forested plateau at the edge of Triglav National Park. This is the main climbing day of the week.

Day 4: Pokljuka high-mountain hike (13 km hike; +700/−700 m)
You will hike from Rudno Polje via the Lipanca pasture to the summit of Viševnik at about 2,000 m, and back across the high plateau, with wide views over the Julian Alps. In poor weather, a lower pasture hike will replace the summit route.

Day 5: Gravel ride Pokljuka – Lake Bohinj (40 km; +170/−970 m)
You will descend from the plateau on forest tracks, quiet roads and through alpine villages to Lake Bohinj, Slovenia's largest natural lake. The day is mostly downhill.

Day 6: Canyoning in Bohinj & short hike (canyoning 2–4 h; hike 1–3 h)
You will join a guided canyoning adventure with natural slides, pools and waterfalls; the canyon will be selected by the provider according to conditions. In the afternoon you can relax at Lake Bohinj or take a short walk to the Mostnica Gorge or the Savica waterfall.

Day 7: Gravel ride Bohinj – Bled via Jelovica (50 km; +710/−750 m)
You will close the loop with the longest ride of the week, crossing the Jelovica plateau on gravel back to Bled, where you will return the bikes.

Day 8: Departure from Bled
Your tour will end after breakfast. Airport, city or railway transfers can be arranged.
