Mountain Biking
Summer Activity

Exhilarating trip in a pristine Alpine environment...

Feel the freedom and experience the breathtaking views over the southern Julian Alps, picturesque plateaus and stunning valleys on this mountain bike tour.

  • Short Break Mountain Biking image
  • Highlights
  • Views of Julian Alps
  • Traditional villages
  • Alpine meadows
  • Crystal clear rivers
  • Un-spoilt environment
Wind your way along quiet roads, off-the-beaten track paths and through lush meadows. Cycle through quaint traditional villages and alongside the crystal clear waters of the river Soca. This truly is a fantastic region for cycling.   

The base for the trip is Tolmin, a small picturesque town on the outskirts of the Alps, steeped in history. Tolmin is the centre of the pristine Soca valley and is ideally located to take advantage of the surrounding Julian Alps and crystal clear rivers, making it the perfect base for outdoor enthusiasts.

Itinerary

Day 1

Transfer from airport to Tolmin, welcome drink and introductory meeting, followed by dinner. The evening is free - if you're not too tired, you'll be able to wander around the town, explore the old square and cosy night life in local pubs.

Day 2

Short transfer to the Sentviska plateau, where the biking starts. We will explore beautiful villages in unspoilt surroundings on the Sentviska plateau with a view of the Julian Alps. You will ride steep descents and rewarding ascents, all within the capabilities of those quite new to narrow road riding or for those just wanting a great weekend! We will return to Tolmin in the late afternoon.

Day 3

from Tolmin, we will head off on our bikes towards the town of Kobarid next to the emerald alpine Soca river. Our goal is the Nadiza Valley, a beautiful, small and well hidden jewel just next to the Italian border. A refreshing swim is well recommended. We will return in late afternoon.

Day 4

After a late breakfast there is time for shopping before heading to the airport.
