TOURS

Good trails are not easy to find. Best way to get the most out of riding holiday is with a local guide.
Our team knows their business. Experienced and certified guides have put together best rides possible. Either we pedal or use shuttle, we are headed towards best ridgeline trails in the area. To be honest, not all our trails are crossing some ridges, but a lot do, and they are epic.
Guest can choose from Single riding day, to Weekend Blast, Multiday guided tours, ..and all of these with a combination of uplifts (shuttle and gondola) and/or pedaling. Tell us what you are interested in and we can tailor your holidays.
Pedal – Numerous allmountain trails reachable with pedaling distance. All day rides starting on tarmac roads in the bottom of the valley and climbing those gravel roads to the top of that viewpoint. A snack at the mountain hut before we reward ourselves with a smooth descent all the way back to the valley. Podpeca is the place to be.
Pedal + Shuttle combo – To reach more peaks and ridges in a day, a combination of a van (+ bike trailer uplifts) and a final push pedaling is perfect. Shuttle up to ¾ of the uphill and a warm up pedal to the start of the trail is optimal for multiday tours to explore the most.
Shuttle + gondola – A combination of both shuttle and gondola gives you nothing but descents. Ok, we do need to pedal a bit also, but gondola access at Petzen Ski resort brings you up to the 1700m above see and other shuttle routes come close to 1300m high. Bottom of the valley is around 600m high. For each of many trails we are dropping for 500 – 600 meters.

Weekend blast

From Friday afternoon to late Sunday, that is 2,5 riding day, which is awesome. Enough time to fully enjoy the majority of our best trails. Actually, it does not need to be weekend to blast through our trails, but it can be and it sounds great. Package is formed with desirable accommodation (look in Accommodation tab) and your choices of meals. To be able to fully focus/enjoy the riding, we can provide a full package with all services (guided tours, transfers, accommodation, meals, etc).

Multiday guided tours

From 3 to 7 days tours, accommodation, transfers from airports, daily meals and shuttles to starting points. We put together a tailor made package for your needs.
Usual riding aspect of the multiday guided tour is a combination of pedaling and shuttle. Each day a different area of our valley, sometimes the ride starts from the lodge/hotel or town center, other time we start higher up, where uplift/gondola drops us of. Lunch stops at local restaurant or mountain huts, where local dishes are served.. Different types of accommodation is listed bellow. Transfers from airports can be arranged with our van and a bike trailer, if needed. Guides give you a detailed information about the trails, weather forecast, the area we are riding and other info that you might be interested in (local heritage, Slovenia in general, etc..). Suggested is to write us an email in what you might be interested for and we will be happy to give you options of packages with prices and everything. Welcome!

Single day

Passing through or just short on time, single day is well worth to check our trails. We will work hard to meet your expectations and give you a good day riding our trails. Again, it depends on what you are after, whether is pedaling day, we love it, or some sort of other combination, we are up for it.

Prices

Many different riding styles and options and not many rides/tours are the same, that is why we think it’s best to ask us about pricing over our email/facebook/instagram and we would be happy to give you a promt reply according to your desires.

Black Hole Trail

Underground biking is a rare experience, and the Black Hole Trail is likely the only underground enduro trail in the world. With 350 years of mining history, a vast labyrinth of tunnels stretches for hundreds of kilometers inside Mt. Peca, (Slovenian side of Petzen). Before the Black Hole Trail was created, humans hadn’t set foot in these tunnels for over 25 years, since the mine was shut down in 1994. The trail spans five levels of the mine, allowing you to actually ride your bike through the mountain. You enter from the western side of the mountain, above the village of Crna, and after a couple of hours, you exit on the eastern side. Regardless of the weather, the Black Hole Trail offers an otherworldly experience and is a must-do bike adventure.

Guesthouse Na trati

Right next door, option for fresh and simple accommodation. A family run hotel in the center of an alpine village Crna na Koroskem. »Na trati« is the old name of the place, which we took along when establishing a hotel in 2022. Our small hotel is actually a mountain bike lodge, since all the details in this architectural excellently designed facilty are mountain biking friendly. »Na trati« mountain bike lodge offers you 4 twin rooms with private bathrooms. Each of the 4 rooms has a large sliding glass (patio) doors out to a private terrace, with greenery at doorstep, what maximizes the feeling of spending most of the time outdoors. Another spacious suite room is located up at the mansard (private bathroom included). With the accommodation beds we offer hearty breakfasts. There is a large parking place in front of the hotel + a bike garage with tools, bike service stand and a proper bike wash.
