Excursión ciclista de un día de Villach a Bled

Ready for a cross-border cycling adventure? This picturesque route takes you from the lively Austrian town of Villach, nestled on the banks of the Drava River, all the way to the enchanting lakeside jewel of Bled in Slovenia.

Spanning just over 85 km, you’ll wind through scenic valleys and rolling hills, with a solid 1,500 meters of climbing on mostly paved surfaces and plenty of smooth cycleways. The ride is a mix of dedicated bike paths and quiet country roads, making it perfect for anyone looking for a peaceful exploration between two cultures.

Villach itself is known for its relaxed vibe and gorgeous mountain backdrop, while your destination, Bled, is famous for its iconic island church, castle perched above the lake, and seriously delicious cream cake (kremšnita—don’t miss it). Bring a camera—and maybe your climbing legs—the landscapes along the way are unforgettable!
