So i am interested in going here to go biking, was considering spending a day or two in Petzen and then a day or two in Jamnica. Looking for the stuff they did in the EWS or trails of that style.
Am i correct in thinking its a ride up affair, had a look but cant see any gondola services.
Is it worth it or should i consider another location. Was thinking of spending about 4 to 5 days there.
Anyone have any tips or advice?
Thanks in advance
Talk to the folks at www.rideslovenia.com Not been myself, but heard good things. I'm sure someone who's been will be along soon with more info...
Hi
The uplift is at petzen
Drop Jonny a message on Fb n he'll advise.
Place is awesome im back out in Sept .
If it helps, contact Vid Persak on FB - asides from being a bloody fast young thing on the Orbea team, he's involved with the SloEnduro crew, so will be able to help.
Not been out there myself yet, but seeing videos on his personal FB suggests I should get a wriggle on and do it.....
The riding at Jamnica itself is not 'that' good, the better riding there is up the valley around a place called Črna (Koroška valley). You should contact Jon at Ride Slovenia or if he is too busy speak to Jani at Ridgeline Trails. Jon is based about 45m away from Črna in a place called Luče and often rides over in Koroška, he does week long or long weekend type trips with everything included so it is a bit more 'fixed'. Jani is involved in the organisation of the Black Hole Enduro (what was the EWS race last year) and spent a lot of time building that 'the ridge' stage. He also has his own guiding company there and is quite flexible so you can contact him and he'll probably be able to sort you out with some guiding in the valley.
I used to work for Jon at Ride Slovenia and guided a lot around Petzen and Koroška and absolutely love it, there's some fantastic trails to be found in those hills outside of Petzen and Koroška! Enjoy!
The area around Sneznik mountain in Slovenia is nice, Lots of steady fire road climbing and then rocky descents (if you want). A bit cold in the spring, Watch out for the bears.
