How difficult is the cycle? What type of accommodation do we have?

In terms of difficulty, this cycling trip involves riding on multiple consecutive days, often in terrain and weather conditions that may be unfamiliar. There are regular rest breaks throughout each day, but a reasonable level of fitness and confidence riding a bicycle is recommended. We suggest some preparation before travel, such as cycling, jogging, or swimming, and ideally taking a few longer rides beforehand. An enthusiasm for cycling and adventure is essential, and participants should be comfortable riding both independently and as part of a group. The daily cycling distances and terrain vary throughout the trip, and the exact distance covered each day may be adjusted depending on local conditions and the group's overall ability. We generally ride during daylight hours and take regular breaks along the way. Regarding accommodation, you'll stay in a mix of hotels/guesthouses (6 nights) and an apartment (1 night). Accommodation is on a twin-share basis, and while many properties offer private facilities, there may be occasions where some facilities are shared. Please also note that air-conditioning, kettles, fridges, and private en suite bathrooms are not guaranteed at every property. The accommodation listed in the itinerary is intended as a guide, and on rare occasions we may use alternative properties of a similar standard if required. Standard check-in time on the arrival day is 2:00 pm.

Can you provide more information on the accomodations and hotels that we would be staying in?

Accommodation on this trip will be in Hotel/Guesthouse (6 nights), Apartment (1 night) and tentative hotels will be as below, Ljubljana- B&B Hotel Ljubljana Park Bled- Milena rooms Kranjska Gora- Hotel Spik Bovec - Alp Šmartno- Kozana Postojna- Eco Hotel Center Piran- Barbara Piran beach hotel Kindly bear in my that hotels are subject to change.

First time on Intrepid cycle trip. The leaders Davor and Tomi are outstanding! Slovenia is a beautiful country and the cycling experience is wonderful. I very highly recommend! I was nervous that my 62 year old legs and casual cycling would leave me struggling but the bicycles provided were excellent. I had a hybrid 30 gear bicycle provided, three riders opted for e- bikes. The experience includes being immersed in the geology, culture, and many exposures to Slovenian cuisine.Show more
