The Grand Escape Italy/Slovenia 2025 | Road Bikepacking Adventure
What do you really know about Slovenia? Turquoise rivers, alpine passes, and roads so quiet you’ll forget traffic exists.
The Grand Escape is a 550km road bikepacking loop from Udine (Italy) to Ljubljana (Slovenia) — and it’s not a race. No time gates. No rankings. Just you, your bike, and five days to ride at your own pace through some of Europe’s most stunning landscapes.
What makes it different:
→ 100% asphalt – your road bike is perfect
→ 60% cycle paths + quiet secondary roads
→ No competition – stop for photos, coffee, conversations
→ International community – riders from all over Europe sharing the journey
In this video, riders from Germany, France, Poland, Brazil, Italy, Hungary, the Netherlands, Catalonia, and Austria share why The Grand Escape changed how they think about cycling.
