Gita in bici di un giorno da Bled a Tolmino

Ready for an epic ride through some of Slovenia’s finest scenery? Setting out from Bled, with its dreamy lake and fairytale island church, you’ll pedal southwest into the lush embrace of the Julian Alps. This route packs a punch: about 115 km long and loaded with nearly 5200 meters of climbing—so it’s definitely for those who don’t shy away from a challenge.

You'll mostly roll along quiet roads (about 80%), with the occasional gravel stretch to keep things interesting. Expect to hit some hefty ascents—you’ll be topping out at nearly 1200 meters—but for each climb, there’s a rewarding descent and ever-changing mountain vistas. Along the way, you’ll pass through sleepy villages and forested valleys, perfect for a snack stop.

Your ride finishes in Tolmin, a laid-back town nestled at the meeting of the emerald Soča and Tolminka rivers—ideal for a well-earned drink or a dip. Take it easy, soak up the alpine magic, and don’t forget to snap a shot or two!
