We are not a typical tour operator that offers trips all over the world. Julian Alps are our home and spending time in the nature is our way of life. We are special, different, adventurous, unique, playful, stubborn and persistent Slovenians, living in Bohinj valley that is a part of the Triglav National Park. We feel most at home in nature, where we explore, get ideas for new experiences and collect energy. Whether it’s biking, hiking, or immersing ourselves in the great outdoors, we consider the breathtaking views and the tranquility of nature to be our workplace. It’s here where we craft unique, tailor-made experiences for your unforgettable vacation.
Welcome to Hike and Bike – Where nature meets adventure.
SUSTAINABLE TRAVEL IN THEHeart of Slovenia’s Only National Park
All our chalets are located in the only national park in Slovenia. The park carries the name after our highest mountain – mt. Triglav (2864m). Through centuries our ancestors managed to preserve this magical piece of earth that we call home, and it is our duty and obligation to preserve the area for our children and grandchildren.
Bohinj valley is our home. We know the rules in the park and we know how to get the best experience of the park with as little impact as possible. We believe that hiking and cycling are the two most sustainable ways of exploring new places. We try to keep our carbon fingerprint on our tours as little as possible.
All our chalets carry traditional architectural elements, and we put a lot of effort in preserving the typical mountainfeel in them with the use of stone and wood.

We had a fantastic experience. Grega has a great set-up. Excellently maintained Specialized gravel bikes fitted our hopes for a relaxed day in the saddle with mostly roads but able to cope if the satnav took us off road. The cycle paths… More around Bohinjska Betrisca are fantastic. And the climb up to Blato from Stara Fužina is epic. Great communications all the way through and very reasonably priced at €40/day for a better bike than my one at home. 66 very happy kilometres pedalled.
We rented 2 ebikes and made a beautiful tour through the Bohinj valley along small farms, waterfalls and streams . We passed small villages and the Bohinj lake. It was beautiful weather, a bit cold. Grega helped us with the bikes and the… More route. It was a great day as we love cycling..
We had a wonderful day on perfectly maintained and high-quality bicycles. The suggested routes in the region were ideal for a day trip through a beautiful area."
Hike and Bike is a really good place to rent bikes. We have rented 2 mountain E-MTB for 8 days to do the the Julian Alp Mountain Bike trail around Triglav National Park. The bikes were n good shape and everything went well.
Grega took… More the Time to adjust the bikes and give us good advice.
I strongly recommend!
I rented a bike from Hike and Bike last Monday and had such a great day that I came back on Wednesday to hire again. The service was top class - advice on the best bike, the best routes...even the best coffee!
I'm a recreational cyclist… More - regular spins of 80-100k with some hills. I ended up doing some serious climbing and a bit of gravel biking - tough but exhilarating. The bike was essentially a road bike with wider tyres which was perfect.
We had an amazing experience with Grega from Hike and Bike. We knew we wanted to bike on our first day in the Bohinj area valley, but wasn’t sure of any other details and Grega arranged via email a great private tour with gravel bikes… More of all the highlights in the valley with really helpful information for future days. He was an invaluable source of local details and answered all our questions about the towns and hay barns we cycled by. There were clear cycling instructions when riding on road for safety and checks in frequently on the speed. He gets great shots along the way and shared right after. Can’t recommend enough!
Excellent service and top quality eMtb bikes. Greg’s gave a quick but comprehensive intro and off we went. A detour off the supplied route took us up to Vodnikov Lookout Point. Well worth it. We had a great day exploring the area. 10:0am… More to 5:30pm and all still had over 40% left 🚴🚴🚴
Absolutely amazing experience; Grega was fantastic from start to finish. High quality well maintained bikes, beautiful route at exactly the right pace. Grega was very knowledgable and enthusiastic about both the area and cycling. He even… More tolerated my World Tour cycling chat which I’m sure he has to have with every guest 😀 10/10 will definitely come again.
The owner - Grega - is very kind and helpful. He told us in detail where we could cycle and what to see. The bikes were also in good condition and we were able to use them without any problems.
Best experience ever. Grega planned a 4 day hiking hut to hut followed by a 4 day bike loop around the Julian Alps. We chose self guided with all our maps downloaded prior on an easy to use app. The huts included dinner and breakfast. The… More hotels were great including breakfast. All of our luggage was transferred to each hotel without an issue on our bike trip. We had plenty of time to enjoy the afternoon and explore or rest! I am so grateful for this experience thank to Grega! Thank you 🙏
Great bike rental shop, with excellent service, the owner Grega is very kind and helpful. The bikes are like new, very recommanded to rent here if you want to discover the Bohinj valley fast and with lots of fun! I suggest you to choose… More the e-bikes if you haven’t tried yet.
Hike and Bike is conveniently situated and the service is friendly and efficient. I rented a Specialized Diverge gravel bike, which was very well geared for the climbs in the region. I rode all paved roads, and was happy for the wider tires… More on some of the rougher road sections. Overall, I highly recommend Hike & Bike, and had a great time exploring the region on one of their bikes!
Me and my girlfriend had an amazing day thanks to Hike and Bike. We rented two E-Bikes for the day and cycled to Lake Bohinj. They supplied us with locks, an inner tube and pump. Overall efficienct in their approach and the bikes were well… More maintained. Thank you once again. Hope to deal with you again in the near future.
The staff is exceptional, gave us some supplies for our trip, and the bikes were pristine. Wonderful experience, will come back to rent anytime in Bohinj.
We had a wonderful day ride through the Bohinj region. I chose a gravel bike (brand new and in perfect mechanical condition) and my wife went with an e-mtb. Grega helped us map a route featuring paved and gravel bike paths, side hiking… More trips to waterfalls, and cafés in the morning. After lunch I continued up and over the Pokljuka Plateau and down to Lake Bled. Grega was flexible with our reservation given the changing weather forecast. Thanks for a great day, Grega - hope to see you in Montana someday!
We had great experience with this rental bikes shop. Grega was very professional, explained everything, gave tips which route to take and the bikes were in great condition without fault. Small detail, we forgot bike trousers so it was a… More bit rough sitting but overall great. We highly recommend. 🚴🏻
Grega has amazing communication and has curated a wonderful Alps to Adriatic tour. The hotels were all in excellent locations, providing amazing service and lovely breakfasts to set you up for a days riding. The bikes we hired were high… More quality Specialized brand, with great storage for 6 days of biking.
We always felt safe on the bike trails and mostly quiet roads, and we felt like we have had a close up view of Western Slovenia as well as some Italian villages along the boarder.
My husband and I will be recommending Grega and Hike&Bike to all our friends.
We had hoped to book onto the Full Moon Walk but due to the weather conditions Grega suggested the Lantern Walk in Bohinj. It was a really lovely experience! Communication from Grega was great before we arrived and we enjoyed learning about… More Bohinj and the local legends under the starry sky. Grega kindly took some great photos too!
Wow - Hike and Bike aka Grega organised our amazing cycle trip thru Slovenia. The route, the places we stayed, the people we met, the food and wine were fantastic. Best cycling from up challenging hills to cruising thru gorgeous Slovenia… More countryside. no hassles trip thanks to Grega. Thoroughly recommend. Wendy spence NZ
We had a fantastic recent experience with Hike & Bike Slovenia. The owner, Grega, organised an excellent tour. Rental bikes were superb, accommodation excellent & the luggage transfers worked perfectly.
Grega did a great job of… More designing the routes to suit our abilities. We didn’t want an off the shelf trip & he designed the course perfectly. We started in the Alps & finished at the Adriatic Coast.
Would highly recommend this company.
My father and I (both avid cyclists) did an e-mtb tour through Bohinj with Grega in early July. Grega was a fantastic guide, super friendly and knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend the e-bike tour because you get to see a lot more!… More Definitely visit Grega if you’re in Bohinj!
Highly recommend Hike and Bike Adventures. We hired 2 gravel bikes that were really well maintained and were robust on gravel but fast on the road. Grega showed us some great routes and we had one of the best holidays ever. Nothing was… More too much trouble and I would definitely recommend their bike hire and tours. We are excited to book our next trip already!
My wife and I are avid cyclists and utilized Hike and Bike to coordinate our self guided trek from the Julian Alps to the Adriatic Sea. Grega was very responsive and attentive to our requests. He did a great job communicating and assisting… More us in planning our two week adventure. The ride was brutally fun climbing lots and travel on paved country roads. The route also included some gravel. We highly recommend and will be using him again when we return in the future.
Super trip! I am very satisfied with the services I have received from Hike&Bike. Not only were they responsive from the very first moment I contacted them, but they designed for me amazing self guided hikes around Lac Bohinj, as well… More as booking accommodation. They were also very quick in answering emails and all my questions, and I had a personalized meeting on the day of my arrival to obtain all info about the hikes. I would strongly recommend using their services for your next trip to the Slovenian Alps! Thanks a lot for everything!
We hired bikes for a cycle ride to the lake and had an amazing day - such a good way to see the countryside. The owner was really helpful and accommodating, with bikes, helmet sizes, maps and all necessary equipment, even going so far as… More to suggesting we change our booking when the weather failed us. Will be recommending him to our friends, this has been such a lovely place to visit.
This was the first time we had done snow-shoeing, it was so much fun, a really memorable experience. Grega was a fantastic guide, very knowledgeable about the nature and history of the area. He was charming and patient with us when we wanted… More to stop to take photos, or have a break. We loved it and can highly recommend. We will definitely do it again.
Tourism and sports are the two things Grega loves the most. “I love the concept of being active, explore new places and enjoy a good meal at the end of the day” Grega says and if you like to do the same make sure you join Grega on one of his guided tours.
