Excursión ciclista de un día de Tolmin a Nova Gorica

Get ready for a gorgeous—and definitely rewarding—ride from Tolmin to Nova Gorica! Starting in the heart of the Soča Valley, Tolmin is known for its turquoise rivers and stunning gorges (don’t miss Tolmin Gorge if you’ve got some time before setting off). The route takes you south through almost 48 km of rolling Slovenian hills, covering nearly 1900 meters of ascent—so expect some huffing, but also some epic descents, especially as you near Nova Gorica.

Most of your journey will be along quiet roads (about 70%), with stretches of asphalt, paved sections, and some fun bits of gravel and unpaved tracks. You’ll top out near 936 meters, treating you to panoramic views and the feeling you’ve really earned your break. As you glide into Nova Gorica, a lively border town famous for its casino culture and European Square shared with Italy, you can kick back in one of the local cafes and soak up the international vibe. Bring water, charge your legs, and enjoy the adventure—Slovenia’s landscapes will do the rest!
