NOT INCLUDED
Covering vast stretches of wild moorland, ancient pine forests, and crystal-clear lochs, the Cairngorms offer an unrivaled sense of freedom on two wheels.
On this cycling holiday, you'll pedal along a mix of quiet country roads, scenic gravel paths, and smooth tarmac, experiencing the raw beauty of Scotland at your own pace.
Because the Cairngorms is a land where red deer roam the hills, rivers carve their way through deep glens, and every bend in the road reveals another postcard-worthy view.
You’ll pedal past Loch Morlich, where golden sands meet mountain reflections, and through the Glenmore Forest, home to centuries-old Scots pines and abundant wildlife. Whether you’re cruising through the Pass of Killiecrankie, an ancient wooded gorge steeped in battle history, or admiring the Blair Castle, every mile tells a story.
History comes to life as you ride through the Highland villages of Grantown-on-Spey, Aviemore, and Pitlochry, each offering a warm welcome and a glimpse into Scotland’s rich culture.
To make your adventure seamless, we take care of all the logistics so you can focus on the ride. We arrange comfortable accommodations along the route, provide GPS navigation, route details, and hand-picked local recommendations, as well as offer round-the-clock support for additional questions.

First class company with a well planned route, great accommodation and simply outstanding support in time of trouble. We did a two week ride from Bled to Pula in September 2023. Fair to say we hit a lot of problems courtesy of BA with rescheduled and diverted flights, lost bags, problems with our own bikes, returning rental bikes and more. Daja was simply amazing in helping us sort all of them out and was so accessible at all hours. She even managed to source and buy a forgotten Thru-axle and deliver it personally to our hotel, which is far and above any service i would reasonably expect. Thank you !! Our accommodation was fantastic and far better than expected in all but one location. The route planning in Slovenia was great but due to our decision to bring road bikes from the UK and the nature of the roads in Croatia, our second week was a bit tricky route wise and it would have been good to have had a discussion about this section beforehand. A Gravel bike is far better suited to Croatia although this was our decision to bring road bikes. Transport arrangement and logistics were flawless. Overall, i would change very little and we will definitely be returning to Slovenia. Daja was fantastic and I absolutely recommend Slovenia Cycling Holidays and will be using their services again.
Top Company, Top Tour ! We did the 7 days tour (from Alps to Adriatic), from Bled to Piran in august 2024 ! It was the best tour made in years. Amazing landscapes and nature, great accommodations and food and perfectly organised. Daja did really a perfect job ! she was allways available for questions or suggestions ! I would recommend this tour to everyone.
