Daily Program of the eMTB Holidays in Istria & Karst.

The program is designed as a gradual progression with a recovery day in between, allowing for a balanced and holistic experience.

Day 1 – Arrival & Introduction
Arrival in Portorož, check-in and evening gathering. Introduction of the guides, eMTB bike handover and a detailed briefing about the upcoming days.

Day 2 – Nanos: The Karst Plateau
The first serious riding day, featuring long climbs and wide-open views that immediately set the tone for the entire journey.

Day 3 – Karst Landscape & Doberdò Lake
A diverse stage through the Karst region and a protected natural reserve, with a slightly calmer rhythm and a strong focus on nature.

Day 4 – Slavnik & the Karst Edge
Elevation, panoramic views and the raw landscape of the Karst Edge – one of the key highlight days of the first half of the tour.

Day 5 – Recovery & Wellness
A day intentionally set aside for rest, recovery and quiet coastal moments. After the first demanding riding days, the program slows down, allowing both body and mind to reset.
Guests are free to enjoy wellness facilities, take a relaxed walk by the sea, or simply spend the day at their own pace. This pause is an essential part of the experience — creating balance between effort and recovery, and preparing the group for the more demanding mountain stages ahead.

Day 6 – Učka: The Highest Peak of Istria
The most demanding stage of the program, featuring the ascent to Istria’s iconic peak and long, panoramic views.

Day 7 – Crossing Istria to Portorož
A connecting stage linking the Istrian hinterland with the coast, gradually easing the pace and bringing the journey toward its conclusion.

Day 8 – Final Stage in Marezige
A scenic finale among vineyards, overlooking the Adriatic Sea, followed by a shared closing lunch or tasting experience.

Day 9 – Departure

These eMTB holidays in Istria & the Karst are created for riders who value elevation, views and multi-day mountain experiences.

Why are eMTB holidays in Istria & the Karst different?

Peaks of Istria & Karst is not a classic eMTB tour.

The program is designed as a complete multi-day experience that connects the highest peaks of the coastal region, diverse landscapes and carefully planned recovery.
Rather than chasing technical trails, the focus is on long climbs, open panoramas and a true sense of exploration — from Karst plateaus and the Karst Edge to the Istrian hinterland. Electric assistance allows us to reach summits and remote areas that would otherwise be accessible only to a very highly trained group.
The program is created for small groups of experienced eMTB riders. The daily rhythm balances demanding riding days with sufficient time for recovery, local cuisine and shared moments at the end of each stage.
These are eMTB holidays for riders who are not looking for an adrenaline park, but for distance, elevation, panoramic views and the story of the landscape itself.

An experience that goes beyond a classic eMTB tour.

  • Focus on elevation and panoramic views, not technical trails.
  • A seamless combination of Istria, the Karst plateau and the Karst Edge.
  • A carefully balanced ratio between physical challenge and recovery.
  • Small groups and a highly personal approach.
