Bike Slovenia Green

Bike Slovenia Green tours are the first cycling itineraries in the world that connect only green-certified destinations and try to implement other sustainable travel practices whenever possible. 

The tours are designed in a way to minimize their carbon footprint as much as possible. We prioritize small, family-run accommodations and we always look for authentic boutique stories. 

WHY ARE OUR BIKE SLOVENIA GREEN TOURS SPECIAL?

• Bike Slovenia Green tours connect destinations that have been awarded the Slovenia Green certificate by committing to a green future and developing their tourism in a sustainable manner. Slovenia Green is based on the globally recognized criteria of the Green Destinations Standard, awarded by the Global Sustainable Tourism Council.
• The cycling tour participants, accommodation providers, tour guides, and luggage carriers all receive a special Code of conduct for responsible behavior during the tour. Our guides are additionally trained in the sustainability aspects of travel.
• Our key aim is to make Bike Slovenia Green tours carbon neutral. The tours are designed in a way to minimize their carbon footprint as much as possible. The remaining emissions are compensated with donations to local sustainability initiatives.
• Using a bicycle to travel around a destination is an environmentally friendly choice. Wherever cycling is not a possibility, we prioritize travel by train.
• Bike Slovenia Green tours are designed in a way to avoid the use of single-use plastics as much as possible. Since Slovenia boasts potable water of incredible quality, the use of single-use plastic bottles is strongly discouraged.
• We wish our tours to leave a beneficial impact on the environment and the local communities. We prioritize small, family-run accommodations. We encourage businesses to join sustainability schemes and choose certified service providers whenever possible.
• We always look for authentic boutique stories. We work with small wineries and seek out local artisans, cheesemakers, and beekeepers. Bike Slovenia Green tours are focused on discovering hidden gems while avoiding overly visited tourist spots.
