Cycling day trip from Kranjska Gora to Tarvisio

Set off from the charming alpine town of Kranjska Gora, famous for its world-class ski slopes and stunning mountain views. Your 23 km ride to Tarvisio takes you through a gorgeous stretch of the Julian Alps, mostly on smooth cycleways and quiet roads—perfect for soaking in the scenery at your own pace.

You’ll experience a good mix of gentle climbs and exhilarating descents, with roughly 390 meters of ascent and over 600 meters of descent. The route is overwhelmingly paved, so your wheels will glide nicely, and there’s minimal unpaved or gravel surface (just enough to give you that little touch of adventure).

As you cross into Italy, the landscape gently shifts, welcoming you to Tarvisio, a laid-back town right on the border, known for its alpine setting and Italian-Austrian flavor. Take a break at a café, reward yourself with a gelato, and enjoy the relaxed vibe. This ride is a scenic slice of cross-border cycling—expect epic mountain views and a taste of two cultures, all in one trip!
