Gravel bike holiday in the Julian Alps

The Julian Alps are the perfect starting point for your gravel bike holiday in Upper Carniola. The region delights with gravel roads through dense forests, old military roads and panoramic tours with stunning views in the middle of the high mountains. Whether through secluded valleys, along clear mountain lakes or up to the passes of the Karawanken mountains – the terrain is varied and full of natural experiences. And after the tour? A regional speciality in a mountain hut tastes twice as good here.

On gravel paths through Slovenia's natural jewel

The Julian Alps delight gravel bikers with a unique mix of alpine terrain, untouched river valleys and spectacular views. Triglav National Park, Slovenia's largest nature reserve, offers impressive routes on old military roads with sweeping mountain panoramas. Around Lake Bled, gravel paths lead through quiet forests, past alpine pastures and small mountain villages. Those looking for a big adventure should head to the Soča Valley, where emerald green water and wild nature trails guarantee a real gravel biking experience. Thanks to their ideal location between the high Alps and river valleys, the Julian Alps combine challenging climbs with relaxed sections along the water. And best of all, the mild climate allows for an extra-long season from spring to autumn.
