From Gorizia to Bled along the Isonzo River cycle path

First day

We’ll meet in the afternoon in Gorizia. After a brief introductory session, the tour guide will present the cycling tour itinerary. This will be followed by bike distribution and a bike check, so we’ll be ready for the start the next day. This cycling tour will take us along the Isonzo Valley, one of the most beautiful cycling routes in Europe. From Gorizia, we’ll cycle to Nova Gorica and then on to Tolmin, Kanal, Kobarid, and Bovec. We’ll cross the Vršič Pass, Slovenia’s highest mountain pass, before descending toward Kranjska Gora and concluding our journey at Lake Bled. The evening will wrap up with a dinner included!

Second day

Gorizia - Kanal - Tolmin
Gorizia and Nova Gorica, two cities that symbolize a borderless Europe, mark the start of our cycling journey through past and present, between Habsburg grandeur and Slovenian vibrancy. Our bike tour in Gorizia will allow us to discover the soul of these two cities as we pass through squares, streets, and picturesque corners, including that border line—now a bike and pedestrian path—which recalls the recent past. We then begin cycling upstream along the Isonzo River on a beautiful stretch of bike path that runs just a few meters from the river’s edge, reaching Kanal with its medieval layout, where we’ll stop for lunch. We’ll then take the train for a short ride to Most na Soci, where a relaxing canoe trip on the river awaits us—a stretch that’s as calm as a lake. If you’re feeling up to it, you can even take a dip in the water! Once the canoeing is over, we’ll hop back on our bikes and ride a short distance to the hotel.

Third day

Tolmin - Kobarid - Bovec
We leave Tolmin after visiting its spectacular gorges, one of the most beautiful natural sites in Triglav National Park, with a hike of about an hour and a half. We get back on our bikes and head toward Kobarid, where you’ll have the chance to visit the National Museum of the Great War or take a stroll to the suspension bridge over the clear waters of the river. We continue cycling, accompanied by the myriad colors of the Isonzo River, toward Bovec, a small Alpine village in the upper Isonzo Valley.

Fourth day

Bovec – a day to recharge your batteries
A free day to enjoy at your own pace. Those looking for adventure can choose between rafting, kayaking, or canyoning—activities that can be booked directly with a local guide a few days before departure. For those who prefer something more peaceful, the tour leader will guide a pleasant hike to the Šunik Water Grove, a protected area within the Triglav National Park, featuring waterfalls, crystal-clear water, and spots brimming with energy. Lunch on your own at a traditional local restaurant, a dip in the river, and return in the afternoon, followed by a free evening.

Fifth day

Bovec - Vrsic Pass - Kranjska Gora
Today we face the most challenging stage of the tour, but also one of the most exciting. We’ll follow the Isonzo River upstream through the picturesque Val Trenta, where the water has carved out spectacular gorges. Along the way, we’ll take a break on the riverbank to relax and enjoy the surroundings. We’ll have a packed lunch without lingering, because a major challenge lies ahead: the climb to Vrsic Pass (or Moistrocca Pass), the highest pass in Slovenia. The view here is extraordinary, and the sense of accomplishment is immense. After the descent, we’ll reach Kranjska Gora: congratulations to everyone on this incredible day!

Sixth day

Kranjska Gora - Bled
The final leg of our group cycling tour in Slovenia takes us from Kranjska Gora to Lake Bled, one of the most iconic destinations in the Julian Alps—a truly special grand finale. The afternoon is free, and everyone can enjoy the lake however they like: relaxing in the green areas, cycling around the lake (about 6 km), visiting the castle, or taking a ride on a traditional boat. In the evening, we’ll all gather for dinner at the hotel and a toast to wrap up this wonderful adventure.

Seventh day

After breakfast, it’s time to say our goodbyes. Today marks the end of this exciting e-bike tour from Gorizia to Bled, a journey designed to help you discover the most authentic side of Slovenia. Every detail has been carefully planned to ensure a worry-free ride: luggage transport included, an expert cycling guide, and dinners provided. After traversing extraordinary landscapes, from the Italian-Slovenian border to Lake Bled, you’ll return home with many memories, new friendships, and a strong desire to set off again. To return to Gorizia, we’ll take the train, which allows us to load the bikes and bring the trip’s eco-friendly footprint to a perfect close.
