Historic and scenic riding among vineyards, mountains, and lakes

There’s a lot of history involved in this cycling and multi-sport tour, with a focus on the years during and between the two World Wars. The itinerary weaves through the Mitteleuropean heritage of the area, reflecting its past under the rule of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, guided by the Habsburg family. It was a true crossroads of cultures, and a visit to the WWI Museum in Caporetto-Kobarid provides invaluable insights into the history and geography of these bordering regions.

Both Friuli and Slovenia are big wine producers, especially of white wines, and it’s interesting to taste the same grape varietal cultivated in different soils and climates. Friuli’s wine regions of Collio and Colli Orientali del Friuli will be the backdrop of our cycling ride towards Slovenia, and in Slovenia we pass through the wine areas of Goriska Brda, Kras and Vipavska Dolina. In September you can witness the peak of the grape harvest and the beginning of the winemaking process.

Rolling vineyards, verdant forests and snowcapped mountains form the backdrop for much of our riding along smooth, uncrowded roads and bike paths. The views are just as spectacular when we are off the bikes enjoying a variety of multi-sport activities, including river rafting, hiking, and much more.

This program has a spectacular ending on Lake Bled and in the charming capital city of Ljubljana, one of the prettiest capitals in Europe.
