View full itineraryThis destination is best suited to guests who want to cycle every day. Because of the terrain and/or remoteness of the hotels and riding routes, there are few, if any, non-riding options available. If a non-rider wants to accompany a rider guest on this trip, they would need to spend many hours in the van and/or at the hotels on the trip. Due to this, we strongly discourage non-riders from this destination. As an alternative, call a Trek Travel Trip Consultant at 866-464-8735 for trip suggestions where more non-rider activities are available, such as:

Your Trip Need to Knows:
Ljubljana, Slovenia
Ljubljana is one of Europe's hidden gems. It is one of the smallest European capitals, one of Europe's greenest, and definitely the most magical. It was the European Commission's Green Capital of Europe in 2016. Car traffic is restricted in the centre, leaving the leafy banks of the emerald-green Ljubljanica River, which flows through the city's heart, free for pedestrians and cyclists. The promenade, the squares, and the historic buildings, as well as the markets and galleries, the restaurants and cafes all come together to create a simply wonderful urban atmosphere. The city is surrounded by parks and areas of protected nature. It’s the green capital of a green country which offers relaxing time while enjoying the sights. We recommend the following accommodations for your pre-trip hotel:
Where to Stay
Urban Boutique Hotel Center
As the name suggests, the hotel is set in Ljubljana centre, where you can access the most popular points that represents the essence of Ljubljana. Only 100 meters sets you apart from the world-famous Three Bridges, the old town with Plecnik marketplace, and within reach are a number of art galleries, vibrant bars, boutiques and many hidden points that invite you to explore. Please note: This is also the meeting point for the trip. www.urbanhotel.com
Lesar Angel Hotel
This charming, family-run four-star boutique hotel is the epitome of style and luxury in Ljubljana’s old town, boasting meticulous interior design and attention to every detail. The captivating interior and serene garden beneath Castle Hill create an intimate ambiance. Choose from an array of rooms and suites, each adorned with wooden floors, timeless decor, and contemporary amenities. Along with a generous breakfast, you can also pre-arrange in-room dining with their "Lesar a la carte" menu. www.angelhotel.si/
Vander Urbani Resort
Vander Urbani Resort offers an intimate, family-and-friends feel amid the pulse of Ljubljana’s creative scene and historic architecture. This member of the Design Hotel Collection features a rooftop swimming pool and is the place where you can enjoy a quiet location in the very heart of Ljubljana's centre. www.vanderhotel.com
Venice, Italy
Whether you’ve never been to Venice or have been there 20 times, there’s always so much to discover. Indeed, even the most seasoned visitors get lost in the city’s labyrinthine network of islands, bridges, pedestrian alleys, and canals. And therein lies the beauty of the destination: afternoons spent wandering from palace to piazza, exploring the small art museums, shopping the stalls that line the streets, and encountering a fresh side of Venice, a fascinating amalgamation of influences— Roman, Byzantine, Ottoman, and Italian—every time you round a corner. The UNESCO World Heritage site comprises the city of Venice and its lagoon situated in the Veneto Region of northeast Italy. Founded in the 5th century and spread over 118 small islands, Venice became a major maritime power in the 10th century. The whole city is an extraordinary architectural masterpiece in which even the smallest building contains works by some of the world’s greatest artists. We recommend the following accommodations for your post-trip hotel:
Where to Stay
Oltre Il Giardino
The house, which once belonged to Alma Mahler, a composer’s widow who lived there in the 1920s, lies next to a small canal just a stone’s throw from the Church of the Frari and has now been turned into an exclusive but home-like retreat. This enchanting place in the heart of Venice offers something unique to those visiting the city. Having only six rooms, it is quite like a guest house, but with the utmost focus on luxury. The garden, with its olive trees, magnolia, and pomegranate, is an oasis of peace and tranquility, and it provides the possibility to relax amidst its green and embrace well being. www.oltreilgiardino-venezia.com
Hotel Antiche Figure
This quaint hotel occupies a fabulous 15th-century palazzo overlooking Venice’s Grand Canal, adjacent to an ancient Gondola workshop. The hotel takes its name from the Renaissance frescos of "antique figures" that once adorned its facade. This historic setting provides the perfect venue from which to explore and to experience the true Venice and the perpetual dialogue between present and past, ancient and modern. Conveniently located across from the railway station and water taxis, it’s also within walking distance to most points of interest. www.hotelantichefigure.com
Hotel Dòna Palace
In the romantic atmosphere of the Bacino Orseolo, you’ll discover this charming boutique hotel, Hotel Dòna Palace. Enjoy luxury accommodation with a refreshingly intimate, quiet ambiance only steps away from St. Marks Square overlooking a canal. www.donapalace.com

In the summer months, Slovenian mountains are usually clear and sunny during the day, with warm daytime temperatures anywhere from 70s to mid-90s (21-35ºC) and evening temperatures 10-15 degrees cooler. Whenever traveling in the high mountains, it is best to be prepared for variable conditions, as weather can change very quickly and there is always the chance of snow and rain. We recommend always traveling with rain gear, as well as plenty of breathable layers, to provide warmth if the temperature drops.
