Private Biking Tour Bohinj Valley: Insider Cycling in Slovenia’s Triglav National Park
Select participants and date
Morning light slides across Lake Bohinj like a silver blade, and the Sava Bohinjka hums alongside the path as if urging your pedals to keep turning. On this private biking tour with a local guide, the valley opens in steady reveals—alpine meadows with double-hayracks standing like open books, cool forest corridors where spruce shadows drift, and the stone bridge at Ribčev Laz framing the water’s calm face. The mountains shoulder the sky, snow lingering high while the river pulls you downstream, eager to show the next bend.
