Mountain Biking Trails

Best mountain bike tours, parks and hotels in Slovenia

If you are searching for mountain biking trails and outdoor activities in attractive surroundings then Slovenia may be just what you are looking for.

In this section you'll find everything you need to now regarding Slovenia's best mountain bike tours and parks, downhill trails and biking hotels.

Mountain Biking Trails: Tolmin-Kobarid

mountain biking trails The Soca Valley embedded in the Triglav National Prak offers spectacular trails for mountain bikers.

The Triglav National Park is, as the name would suggest, a protected area boasting superb landscapes, landmarks and panoramic views and cycling tours in this area take in visits to World War I heritage spots as well.

admire waterfalls, canyons and springs

The Soca, deeply tucked in between the Julian Alps has numerous canyons, pools, springs, ravines and waterfalls to be admired by all who set eyes on them. And the best thing of all is that these sights are all available to discover and explore by bicycle.

On the other hand, there are also areas of the mountainous terrain with trails which present challenges for even the most experienced bikers.

Our eays tour around Kobarid

The picture above shows me on an easy tour that started in Kobarid along the Nadiža river with only 25 km and 230 metres of altitude difference: Kobarid - Svino - Robic - Podbela - Borjana - Kobarid.

Mountain Biking Trails of the Area

The guidebooks covering the areas around Tolmin and Kobarid offer up to seventy three different cycling tours which run through the Soca Valley, through the Baca Gorge, alongside and above the Nadiža River, across Trebuša and the Šentvid Plateau until they finally reach what was previously the border of Italy to Venetian Slovenia.

Three different tour ranges

The different tours range considerably in length and are divided into three grades as far as degrees of difficulty are concerned. The first grade is perfect for families with kids, the second for those bikers at intermediate level and the third and final grade is for experienced and advanced level riders.

As you would expect the easy tours are across plateaus and based on valleys and the more difficult ones cover less easy to manage terrain with areas of steep elevation. Five of the tours on offer end up at the Triglav National Park and every one of the tours is circular in its path.

Shown below are two examples of the cycling packages available.

The Along the Princess package priced at EUR 209 per person when in groups of four or more consists the following:

2 x half board accommodation at the 4* Hotel Hvala
A guided cycling tour at easy level along the Soca
A visit to the nearby Kobarid Museum

Sauna

The Around Bucenica package coming in at only EUR 125 per person offers the following:

2 x half board accommodation at the 3* Hotel Lucija
A guided cycling tour at easy level around Most na Soci
Refreshments
Sauna and one massage treatment
