Hike and Bike provide a great service. We did a family hike with Luka in Ribcev Laz area. It was a special day out. Great value for money. Very reassuring. Lots of local knowledge and information. And great food in the Mountain Hut on our … More way back down. Thank you.

FAQ
Cycling holidays in the Julian Alps – your questions
Road, gravel or e-bike – which tours suit which bike?
Most of our cycling tours follow quiet roads, cycling paths and scenic mountain roads, so a gravel bike or an e-bike is the best all-round choice. Road bikes suit the road-based tours such as Tour of the Julian Alps [potrdi]. We rent Specialized Turbo Tero 4.0 e-MTBs and Cinelli Zydeco gravel bikes – or you can bring your own. Each tour page lists the terrain and the recommended bike.
How fit do I need to be? What are the daily distances?
You should be comfortable riding several days in a row. Daily stages are typically 50–80 km on Ride from the Alps to the Adriatic; the exact distance and elevation for every day are listed on each tour page. An e-bike makes the climbs enjoyable for almost everyone.
Can I bring my own bike?
Yes. Many guests ride their own bike – bringing your own pedals? We’ll happily mount them for you. If you prefer, rent one of our e-bikes or gravel bikes and we’ll adjust it to your height before you start.
What if I have a flat tyre or get lost?
You travel with offline turn-by-turn GPS navigation in our Digital Guide, so you stay on track even without mobile signal. Rental bikes come with a tire repair kit, and our local team is on hand by WhatsApp and phone during your trip.
When is the best time for cycling in the Julian Alps?
Our cycling season runs from April to October. May, June and September bring mild temperatures and quieter roads; July and August are warm and busy. High mountain passes can stay snowy into late spring.
Can I do a tour alone or with kids?
Yes – solo travellers are very welcome (a single supplement may apply [potrdi]). For families we recommend shorter daily stages; kids’ bikes (20″ and 24″) and child seats are available. Tell us who is coming and we’ll suggest the right tour.
