Gita in bici di un giorno da Kranjska Gora a Villaco

Ready for an awesome cross-border ride? This route starts in Kranjska Gora, a charming Slovenian alpine resort town famous for skiing in winter and cycling in summer. You’ll head north, winding your way over the border into Austria and finishing up in Villach, a vibrant city at the foot of the Alps known for its riverside cafes and lively old town.

The ride covers about 50 km, and you’ll climb a solid 720 meters before dropping over 1,200 meters—a real treat if you love long descents with Alpine views! Most of your route rolls along paved cycleways and quiet roads, so expect smooth riding for the most part, with just a few gravel sections where you might want to slow down and soak in the scenery.

You’ll traverse lush alpine valleys, pass through forests, and maybe catch glimpses of crystal-clear rivers along the way. Don’t forget to snap a few photos at the border and treat yourself to a coffee or ice cream in Villach—you’ve earned it!
