The Vipava Valley is one of the best cycling regions in Slovenia. You can rent E-bikes with us and enjoy the valley on two wheels. We take no shortcuts when it comes to E-bike rentals – we only rent new, top-notch E-bikes. These E-bikes are comfortable, safe and easy to ride – built to enjoy the ride. Along with the E-bike you’ll also get a helmet, backpack and biking essentials like small pump, water canteen and small tools.
It’s super easy to rent E-bikes with us. You can make a rental reservation by contacting us via phone or e-mail, our you can even make a direct reservation through our rental partner. We’ll make sure you’ll get familiar with the bike and give you all the necessary essentials for a care-free ride. You are also welcome to download a free cycling app Komoot to navigate on your route. During the route, take a break from cycling at one of carefully selected BIKE-STOP-ENJOY points along the way.
The village of Planina makes an excellent starting point for numerous cycling and hiking routes through the Vipava Valley. From here, you can go to the top of the Nanos or Čaven plateaus, admire the beauty of small villages nestled among vineyards, or enjoy a scenic route along the Vipava river. For cycling you can set out with a regular bike, but we recommend using an electric bike. This way, you can cover longer distances, tackle steeper climbs, and see even more of our beautiful valley.
