    • Due to the nature of the activity, this program is not recommended for children younger than 15 years and pregnant women.
    • All minors must be accompanied by an adult, who is either their parent or a legal guardian. 
    • Breakfast is included in every accommodation. 
    • We advise that you to start your daily trips early  in the morning to allow yourself enough time to stop often and enjoy the scenery! And to escape the hot summer sun!
    • As the weather can change quickly, do not forget to bring your rain-covers and a change of extra dry clothes. 
    • All customers are required to notify us before booking the tour of  any medical conditions, as well as  dietary restrictions. All medications can and should be brought to all daily biking tours. If you suffer from any medical conditions, we strongly suggest that you consult your physician before booking a tour to receive an expert medical advice.

We suggest you bring small cycling backpack (optionally you can also rent it with us) for personal belongings you will need on tour (reusable bottle of water, wallet, phone, etc.). The rest of the luggage will be waiting for you at accommodation in the time of your arrival there. 

    We suggest that you travel with a comprehensive travel insurance, including emergency evacuation coverage. We strongly recommend that you purchase travel insurance that includes cancellation protection so that you will be covered in the event that you are unable to attend our trip (due to injury, illness or other unforeseen circumstances). We do not provide travel insurance for our clients. Please contact your local travel agent to purchase travel insurance. As coverage and a price of the insurance changes depending on your travel destination, do make sure that you purchase a coverage for all countries you will be traveling in during your adventure.

    It was an absolute great adventure, experience and MTB Trip for me! And the organisation of the Company was really exellent; lugagge transfer, Hotel, maps, gpx and route explanations, assistance, support from the Team - they were so friendly ... The Tour itself is partly effotful (heat, strenght..) so a good endurance is partly needed:)) (but there are shortcuts) ...

    Fabulous scenery, challenging biking, well organised from start to finish. The food was excellent, the accommodation was very comfortable, which made for an excellent trip. The Life Adventures team provided clear information on the suitability of the experience for my partner and myself. Thank you.

    Our trip exceeded our expectations - the mountain biking routes were well planned, easy to follow and thought out to provide the best possible scenery and sight seeing, even though the weather wasn't as good as we would have liked it. The map book and tracks provided was excellent as were the quality of the bikes, and they were matched perfectly to our heights. I can recommend an E-Bike if your are unsure of making the distances comfortably each day. We would definitely recommend this tour to those who wish to see the best of the Slovenia whilst enjoying the outdoors.
