Cycling day trip from Bled to Tarvisio

Get ready for a stunning cross-border ride from the iconic lakeside town of Bled to the alpine hub of Tarvisio! You’ll start your adventure right beside the famous Lake Bled, known for its picture-perfect island church and medieval cliffside castle. The route is around 59 km and mostly follows smooth paved surfaces, with over half of the journey on dedicated cycleways and quiet roads, so you can really soak up the mountain scenery.

You’ll climb about 1150 meters as you wind through the rolling foothills of the Julian Alps, with rewarding views at every turn. After cresting the higher stretches (max elevation just under 900 meters), you’ll coast down toward Italy, passing through lush valleys and small border villages before reaching Tarvisio. This welcoming Italian town sits right by the triple border of Italy, Austria, and Slovenia—perfect for a coffee or gelato at the finish!

It’s a fantastic day trip for anyone who loves alpine landscapes, a bit of a climb, and the adventure of crossing into another country on two wheels!
