Cycling day trip from Tarvisio to Kranjska Gora

This cross-border cycling route starts in the charming Italian town of Tarvisio, tucked away in the Julian Alps near the tripoint of Italy, Austria, and Slovenia. It winds east through thick forests and alpine meadows, following a mix of quiet roads and dedicated cycleways—ideal for those who love a bit of mountain scenery without too much traffic.

You’ll cover about 32 km, with a solid 1,000 meters of elevation gain—expect a few hearty climbs! The route hugs the old railway line much of the way, offering a mix of smooth asphalt, some good gravel sections, and just a sprinkle of busier roads. Along the ride, you’ll roll through quaint border villages and be treated to jaw-dropping views of the Slovenian mountains as you approach Kranjska Gora.

Your finish in Kranjska Gora is a treat for outdoor lovers—a lively Slovenian resort town known for skiing, hiking, and cycling. Take a break at one of the cozy cafés or simply enjoy the alpine vibes. This ride is perfect for those who want a memorable mix of challenge, scenery, and culture!
