Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Bohinjska Bistrica à Tolmin

This ride is an epic adventure across the heart of the Julian Alps! Kicking off in the tranquil town of Bohinjska Bistrica, nestled right beside Lake Bohinj and famed as a gateway to Triglav National Park, you’ll tackle a big day in the saddle with challenging climbs and even tougher descents — in total, over 4,200 meters up and 4,500 meters down!

The 80-kilometer route mixes up surfaces: mostly quiet paved and asphalt roads, with a good stretch of gravel and some wilder, remote tracks (so plan for a bit of everything under your wheels). Expect spectacular mountain scenery, alpine villages, and breath-stealing views as you crest impressive elevations—the highest point topping out above 1,450 meters!

Your journey finishes in spirited Tolmin, a small town on the Soča river, known for its lively music festivals and access to the stunning Tolmin Gorges. Bring plenty of snacks, a sense of adventure, and get ready for one of Slovenia’s most unforgettable cycling routes!
