Slovenia Gravel is set amongst one of Slovenia's most secluded, wild corners - Triglav National Park and Lake Bohinj. This trip is all about exploring the quiet outskirts of Triglav National Park by bike, embracing the Slovenian food and wine culture, swimming in Lake Bohinj, sauna sessions, and experiencing the quiet natural setting that encompasses the region. Our hosts at the Alpik Chalets have created a space that speaks to the heart of our Cyclist's Menu family - the balance of solitude and adventure have truly created a magical trip in this outstanding destination.
