Discover one of the most beautiful alpine glacier valleys in Europe
Matic and Boštjan, the two gravel bike and road bike experts at the hotel, are experienced cyclists and know the area around Vranska like the back of their hands. The hotel's speciality is guided gravel bike tours along the little-used and well-hidden side roads and gravel tracks through one of the most beautiful alpine glacier valleys in Europe.
Gravel biking takes you alongside Boštjan on the Solčava panoramic road or up the Gora Oljka mountain, from where you can enjoy an impressive panoramic view of the imposing north faces of the Kamnik-Savinja Alps. On lonely gravel roads, winding forest and field paths and along the emerald-green Savinja River, the route leads from the green hop fields to the imposing Alpine passes. Or take a helicopter for a unique heli-biking experience - because what Canada can do, Slovenia has been doing for a long time! Then it's back to the hotel, which specialises in bikers, to relax and regenerate - from the well-equipped fitness room with panoramic views of the green valley to the hotel's own bike hire and the evening gravel bike menu at the Grof restaurant.
