Overview

Slovenia is located in the heart of Europe. It borders Austria, Italy, Hungary and Croatia. This location makes it accessible from anywhere in the world. Slovenia has a natural environment embracing three different climates, plus an excellent infrastructure for a sports culture. Slovenia is the only EU country which connects the Alps, the Mediterranean, the Pannonian Plain and the Karst region.

RacePace Tours in collaboration with L’Etape Slovenia and I Feel Slovenia has created one of the most exciting and picturesque cycling tours to date!

We will start exploring our tour around the capital of Ljubljana towards the most photographed church in the country ‘Sveti Tomaz’ including a nice loop which will form part of the L’Etape Slovenia by Tour de France in 2023. We will then relocate to the beautiful limestone land of the Karst region, rich in vineyards producing ruby-red Teran and Refosco wine. Based in Lipica, the home of the magnificent Lipizzaner horses, we will ride by exploring the amazing stretch of Slovenia, cycling through the old karst village of Komen, Pliskovica and Dutovija, dotted with old stone churches and red-tiled roofs. We then pedal on to cross the Italian border, connecting to Parenzana and then turning back to Slovenia from where the road leads us past Koper. On our way back to Lipica we will experience our last climb of the tour ‘crnikal’.

The highlight of our tour will form the L’Etape Slovenia by Tour de France race where you will experience a very scenic circle ride and cherish the green countryside of Slovenia.
