Exploring Slovenia on two wheels
Built in 1940, the twelve-kilometre Mangart Road winds its way up to Mangart Saddle at 2,100 metres. It is not only Slovenia’s highest secured Alpine road. It also boasts stunning scenic views of the Alps. Countless hairpin bends and the characteristic summits of the Julian Alps are quite the sight to see!
“Ciao bella” on the Nassfeld Pass
On the Passo di Pramolio, motorcycle enthusiasts can ride from the Carnic Alps all the way over to our Italian neighbours. The route connects Gailtal Valley with the Italian Val Canale in Friuli. Truly outstanding: the 200-metre tunnel through the rock with narrow bends and steep gradients.
