Tour of Slovenia

Slovenia has recently been making a name for itself in the cycling world. Primož Roglič became the first Slovenian to win a Grand Tour when he won the 2019 Vuelta a España. In 2020, Tadej Pogačar won the Tour de France, while Primož Roglič finished second.

Don’t forget, all of our events are bespoke, that means anything you see on this page can be adapted to your requirements.

‘You listened to our request when we were setting it all up, and made this leg of the ride do-able. We all made it through, the scenery we passed through was just stunning, and those rest stops, amazing.’ – Jonathan, Saint-Rambert-d’Albon to Aigues-Mortes 2025

This route offers plenty of flexibility and isn’t limited to the example shown here. In the past, we have completed this ride using multiple different routes. The options are endless, what you’ll find below is simply a typical itinerary.

The Triglav National Park in the north west corner of Slovenia is generally considered to be the most dramatic part of the country and it is at the heart of our event. We include the Vršič Pass, one of, if not the, most famous road cycling climbs in Slovenia and on the way we pass through Bled, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. We will be on the trail of the Pro cyclists as we pick up the 2022 Giro d’Italia route along the world renowned Soča Valley and take on Kolovrat. Our paths will cross with the 2022 Giro d’Italia route in the Province of Friuli near Udine. Along the way there will be high mountain passes and beautiful valley roads, history, rolling hills, stunning scenery, impressive food and hotels and, of course, amazing cycling!

Tour of Slovenia Itinerary

Day 1

Fly into the capital of Slovenia, Ljubljana, or train travel to Trieste and travel up to Ljubljana. Transfer from Ljubljana airport to night one accommodation in the capital itself. 3 options of warm up loops out of Ljubljana with lovely riding around the flatlands south east of Ljubljana and the hills.

Day 2 – Ljubljana to Kranjska Gora

We leave this tiny little capital, with its mini Venice canals and elegant bridges, and head for the north west corner of the country, a stone’s throw from Austria and Italy. 2 of the routes will stick to the wide open valley with stunning views upwards in all directions, until one then summits Pleci. The other routes get their first taste of the hills climbing Topol and Drazgose. All routes will climb up to get views down on the UNESCO world heritage site of Lake Bled and share the beauty of the Radnova valley.

Day 3

Today is the day we leave the Slovenian Alps and head over to Italy. Whichever way you leave Kranjska Gora your way south over and through Triglav is stunning. For one of the routes the Vršič Pass lies ahead. The 24km Vršič pass connects Kranjska Gora in the Save Valley to Trenta in the Soča Valley, via 50 hairpin bends; 25 on the Kranjska Gora side, and 25 on the Trenta side, in the heart of the Triglav National Park. The National Park hosts Mt Triglav which at 2864m is Slovenia’s highest mountain.

The other routes will try their hand at the Giro 2022 climb of Kolovrat or Passo Predil.

We cross into Italy, losing the height gained from rising over the Alps over the last 2 days and arrive into Udine. The heavily Venetian influenced architecture of Udine tells you immediately you have arrived in Italy.

Day 4

Today is our last day. From Udine we head parallel to the coast, and back into Slovenia along little used mountain roads, and others with wide open vistas of the vineyards before we head back into Italy, just a few kilometers away from the town of Prosecco.

In Trieste we celebrate our arrival at the coast and the end of this fabulous journey through Slovenian countryside and history, finishing in a city that still wants to be freed from the Italians and returned to the Slovenians.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My 9th PIE organised cycle challenge for the 40tude charity. Another spectacularly organised PIE ride. The way the team and guides handled and responded to all the surprises and challenges thrown their way, making everything smooth for us punters was extraordinary. And very much appreciated. The most professional and friendly group of tour managers, support team and cycle guides. Well done to the whole PIE team and Paul & Tina. You are simply the best.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Event team did a great job coping with air traffic meltdown in the UK, storms in Slovenia and road closures from visiting diplomats.

accommodating, feeding and moving over 30 people on a daily basis is no easy task and they do it very well! Kudos to Paul and team.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is probably my 6th rode with pie. They always have things organised and when something isn’t quite right it is fixed quickly and with lots of communication. Paul and the team were brilliant in Slovenia with us all. When you are cycling and out of your comfort zone the last thing you want is to worry about the logistics and pie do that all for you. Thanks And see you soon at the next ride!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've just completed my second 4-day group ride managed by pie. Again, it was a fantastic experience. The 3 person pie team - a trip co-ordinator, ride guide, and on-bike medic - were all top professionals as well as great fun. It was another great trip which the whole team enjoyed. I highly recommend pie.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. PIE is outstanding and are indeed passionate about their events.

Whether Medical, Portering, Providing Food (paying attention to dietary requirements) and Drink (morning coffee, regular rehydration electrolyte tabs, soft drinks at lunch, alcoholic beverages at the end of the day - if you like that sort of thing), excellent hotels & restaurants, - all needs catered for.

Staff - highly sympathetic & empathetic - who convert a steep hill into a mere undulation. All staff  were immaculately turned out in identical uniforms.

Bike maintenance - Brilliant
Route planning - beautiful lanes, B roads, cycle paths - superb routes.

Overall - excellent management throughout, with high empathy and support for all participants (including a cat!!).
