Bikepacking around Julian Alps: The West Loop

Create Moments

Around Julian Alps

Experience the mesmerizing landscape of Slovenia with bikepacking around the Julian Alps via The West Loop, a loop which is a hidden treasure of central Europe. This route  will take us from rugged jeep roads, alpine ridge singletrack, abundant World War history, castles, long rolling dirt sections, cobbled switchback climbs, quaint villages, glinting swimming holes, and to a gem of a European capital city. 

 

To enjoy the route we will do the loop in seven days. First day starting after midday in the capital city of Slovenia, Ljubljana. Arriving in the afternoon in the old town of Škofja Loka where we will spend the first night. Second day visiting the stunning Bled lake and spending the night at the entrance to the mountain world, Mojstrana. Third day climbing the highest Slovenian road pass and descending into Bovec. Fourth day ascending the Kobariški Stol where the views will reach the sea. Fifth day enjoying the sea breeze on the ridges. Sixth day battling the tired legs and heading west and final seventh day climbing above Ljubljana basin and returning to where we started the journey. 

 

From the beginning of April to the end of October we offer guided tours around the West Loop in groups. Departures are every first week of the month.
