Vršič pass by bike: 50 hairpins, cobbles and how to ride both sides
The north side is the climb, the south side is the descent. How to ride the cobbled hairpins, what changed at the top in 2026, and how to loop it back to Kranjska Gora.
Mangart: riding Slovenia's highest road
12 km, 980 m, five unlit tunnels and a ledge to 2,055 m. How the road rides, why the top is closed in 2026, and why the season is shorter than you think.
Pokljuka plateau: the quiet climb above Bled
Two tarmac roads up, a forest road across the top that is closed to cars in summer, and a biathlon stadium at 1,347 m. Why it is the better training climb and the emptier one.
Logar valley and the Solčava panoramic road
The valley is the dead end everyone drives to. The 37 km panoramic road above it, through farms at 1,300 m, is the ride. Sections, surfaces, the two quieter valleys and the season.
Pavličevo sedlo and Jezersko: two borders in one ride
Over Pavličevo sedlo at 1,339 m into Austria and back over the Seebergsattel to Jezersko. Which way round, how long, and the 2 April to 3 November closure that decides whether it is possible.
