The Experience

The day starts at Škofja Loka train station, where the guide picks you up and drives to the trailhead. At 11 am the ride begins on an easy descent down the old military road, climbing steadily through quiet villages toward the highest point of the tour—a mountain hut under Blegoš. The electric motor handles the grade, so the pace stays manageable even on the climb.

At the hut, you stop for a longer rest to take in the views and catch your breath. If energy and weather allow, a 20-minute walk reaches the summit of Mount Blegoš itself, where on a clear day you can see the Julian Alps, the Kamnik-Savinja range, the Karavanks, and sometimes even the Adriatic Sea. The guide carries a camera and takes photos throughout the day.

The return follows a different route through the village of Javorje. If the group is interested, you stop at a local farm called Pr Andrejon, where they serve food they grow and raise themselves—a 3/4 self-sufficient operation. The tour wraps up between 4 and 5 pm back at the starting point, and the guide drives you back to the train station. The bike, helmet and all technical support are included; bring water and wear layers, as altitude and weather change fast.

Top questions

Can I ride an e-bike if I've never cycled much before?

The e-bike tour suits all fitness levels because the electric motor does the climbing work. The route is graded easy, and the guide sets the pace—you control how much effort you put in, and the motor handles the rest.

What's the highest point of the ride, and how high does it go?

The highest point is the mountain hut under Blegoš. From there, if you hike to the summit of Mount Blegoš itself, you reach an elevation where you can see the Julian Alps, the Kamnik-Savinja range, the Karavanks, and on clear days the Adriatic Sea.

How long does the whole tour take, and when does it end?

The tour runs five to seven hours total, including the ride, the rest at the hut, and the return. You conclude between 4 and 5 pm at the starting point, then the guide drives you back to Škofja Loka train station.

Is there food included, or do I need to bring my own?

Food is not included in the tour price. The group stops at a local farm called Pr Andrejon on the way down if there is enough interest, where you can order and pay for locally produced meals, but it is optional.

Can children join this tour?

Children are welcome from age nine. They ride their own e-bike with the guide and the group, and the electric motor makes the climb manageable for younger riders.

What happens if the weather turns bad?

The tour runs in most conditions, but the guide will assess the weather on the day. Heavy rain or lightning would make the exposed mountain sections unsafe, and the guide can adjust the route or reschedule if needed.
