Slovenian Western Loop Bikepacking

Organizing our self-guided bike trip with HourAway was an unforgettable experience and highly recommended. We chose the Western Loop with the Julian Alps, and from the very beginning, their flexibility and attentiveness made the difference compared to other companies we consulted. Communication was swift, both before and during the trip. They provided us with accurate information for each day, relevant and interesting information about places of interest at each stage, restaurant recommendations, and even provided them with the trails for each day, all while finding alternatives to accommodate our requests. The accommodations are also worth mentioning: they are high-quality, welcoming, and offer friendly service. The company's commitment to sustainability and responsible tourism is evident. In our case, we also rented gravel bikes and arranged luggage transfers between accommodations. The bikes were high-quality and in perfect condition. And as for luggage transfers, they were always waiting for us at our next accommodation. Communication with Nejc was daily. We had no problems and were able to enjoy our trip to the fullest.

"Nejc with Hour Away was professional and easy to communicate with, treating us as if we were friends borrowing bikes. We rented gravel bikes that were equipped with everything we needed for an epic week-long tour through Slovenia and Italy! The bikes were very well maintained, and we didn’t run into any mechanical issues over 560 kilometers of riding. Thanks, Nejc and team, for being part of making an epic bike-packing trip happen! 10 out of 10 would recommend if you’re thinking of renting bikes in the Ljubljana area!"

We hired 6 gravel bikes from Hour Away for a 6-day bikepacking trip from Bled. The bikes were great quality and condition. We covered more than 250km, including climbing Mangart! Klemen was very helpful organising everything in advance, taking into account special requests in terms of rigging and accessories. Uros was incredibly flexible dropping off and picking up the bikes and gave us lots of good tips for the week. Absolutely loved Slovenia, would certainly come again. And would highly recommend HourAway for any bike hire!

"Top trip, Nejc was very accommodating and friendly and went out of his way to sort any issues we had and make the trip as smooth as possible. Slovenia is incredible scenery for cycling too we did a loop around Triglav from the capital and can highly recommend this."

Our group of 3 had a great experience working with Nejc at Hour Away to plan a fantastic 12-day bike tour in Slovenia. 2 of us rented bikes and touring gear (1 e-bike and 1 mountain bike) - both bikes were well maintained and we had no issues with them during our tour. We wanted more flexibility than a typical guided or self-guided tour, and Nejc suggested an ideal route for us through gorgeous areas, checked in with us periodically during our tour, offering advice about potential road closures due to weather and other helpful suggestions. He was responsive and thoughtful throughout all our communications. I wouldn't hesitate to book another trip with Nejc and HourAway. Hope to get back someday!

Nejc and the Hour Away Team were lovely, organized, quick to respond to any message and the pick-up and drop-off worked smoothly and conveniently. The bikes were in perfect shape and we did not have any mechanical issues riding them through various terrain along the West-Loop of Slovenia. Thank you so much!

We’ve cycled in many countries in Europe and Slovenia is the best! Beautiful mountains and lakes, friendly people, good food and cycling friendly everywhere. Nejc and Hour Away team have been so helpful. From email chats about bikes and routes, excellent bikes and kit, transfers and all round friendly helpfulness - everything was perfect! Thank you so much for helping make our most memorable and enjoyable holiday ever. Steve and Jess

We rented bikes from Nejc to do the Slovenia West Loop. The bikes were tuned well and managed the loop with zero mechanicals or flats. Pickup + dropoff was easy and Nejc held our luggage during the trip. Would totally recommend!
