Location
Luče at around 550M above sea level is situated in mid-north of Slovenia in the Upper Savinja Valley. The village is surrounded by many peaks of over 2000 metres, perfect for those who relish gaining elevation powered only by their legs and lungs!
We are offering bespoke packages including self-catered accommodation and transfers (with bikes), itinirary & route planning, guided rides and fully coached training camps. Get in touch and we’ll create a bespoke experience based on your requirements!

We can also offer home cooked meals and arrange a grocery shop for you as part of your package, less faff more exploring!
Road Cycling
Epic mountain passes, sweeping valley roads and rolling countryside, no wonder Slovenia is producing some of the worlds fastest cyclists!
Of the three roads out of Luče, two lead to mountain passes and the other down the valley to some more flat, rolling terrain. We’ve got the perfect mixture for steady endurance days and hard climbing days. Nearby passes include; Črnivec (10 KM, 4.4% avg), Golte (15 KM, 6.9% avg) and the mighty Pavličevo Sedlo (16.6 KM 5.3%, avg). Check out some routes with photos here.
Gravel Biking
The off-road riding here is exceptional. If you like getting into the wilderness where not many folks go on bikes then you’ll absolutely love it here. In every direction from our village you can find climbs of 10-15 KM long taking you deep into the mountains with breathtaking views, alpine wildlife and traditional mountain huts offering hearty meals and sweet treats. You can even stay overnight in a hut on a mult-day adventure. The gravel roads here are in great condition making them suitable for all types of off-road bikes.

Running & Hiking
We’ll be honest, It’s not very flat around us. There’s a few flat out and back options on roads next to the rivers. Otherwise you’ll be gaining elevation quickly, on or off-road. An example for those ultra runners or hikers among us; from the village you can head straight up Raduha with its peak at 2200 metres. We are surrounded by peaks of over 2000 metres, so there are endless options for big days running or hiking, even multi-day with a night in a traditional mountain hut, some hearty food and local schnapps. From the nearby Logar Valley (Logarska Dolina) you can take on some of the most epic alpine routes in Slovenia.
