The Karavanke Alps cut right across northern Slovenia, a seldom explored land of beautiful mountains, sleepy villages and amazing mountain bike trails. This hidden corner of Alpine Europe is covered in ancient tracks, walking paths and mule trails that used to cut across the peaks and passes between mountain villages. Abandoned and unused many of these trails grew over and became wild forests and alpine meadows, until very recently.

Local mountain bikers, who are our partners and guides, worked hard to clear many old paths and put together routes which combine amazing singletrack, real mountain challenges and visits to the best little farms for traditional lunches and drinks. The result – quite possibly the best unsung mountain bike destination in Europe.

The accommodation for this holiday is a beautiful, traditional Slovenian tourist farm. As well as great rooms and locally produced, organic food there’s a pool, large open lawns, spacious deck and stunning views across the rolling green valleys. It’s the perfect place to come back to after a great day mountain biking on the best singletrack trails.
