Bled eBike Tour

Imagine pedaling around one of Slovenia’s most photogenic spots, the Lake Bled area, on a comfortable, high-quality electric bike. With a duration of about three hours, this guided tour takes you through charming villages—Ribno, Selo, Mlino, Zasip, and Podhom—and includes a memorable boat ride to Bled’s iconic island. For just $112 per person, you get a well-rounded experience that balances scenic views, local culture, and gentle exercise.

Two things we especially like about this tour: First, the quality of the eBikes—a 2020 model Scott electric bike that makes covering the terrain easy and relaxing, even for those who aren’t seasoned cyclists. Second, the personalized guidance from a knowledgeable local guide, who enriches the experience with interesting facts and stories about the area.

One thing to consider: this tour requires participants to be at least 150 cm tall; it’s not suitable for younger children or those with serious medical concerns, such as back or heart problems. Also, it’s a weather-dependent activity, so dress accordingly.

This ride is perfect for travelers who want a comfortable, informative way to see Lake Bled and its surroundings without the physical strain of a traditional bike ride. It’s especially suited for those who appreciate a good mix of scenic beauty, local culture, and a touch of adventure—all in a small, friendly group.

Starting Point and Equipment

The tour begins at pr1motours.com, located at Ljubljanska 20, in the heart of Bled. After a quick safety briefing, you’ll be fitted with a helmet and lock and get a chance to familiarize yourself with your top-notch Scott eBike, which is specifically designed for comfort and ease. These bikes, from 2020, are equipped to handle the gentle climbs and flat stretches of the lakeside route, making the experience accessible for most.

What we loved here is how straightforward the setup is — no fuss, just hop on and go. You’ll also be advised to bring comfortable shoes and perhaps a poncho, as the weather can change unexpectedly in the Alps.

The Village Hopping

The guiding star of this tour is the scenic route through Ribno, Selo, Mlino, Zasip, and Podhom. These villages give you a taste of local life away from the tourist crowds.

Ribno, just a few minutes from Bled’s main attractions, has a peaceful vibe with traditional houses and farms. This part of the route sets the tone for a relaxed, scenic ride. Moving onwards, Selo and Mlino give you glimpses of lakeside life, with Mlino offering the chance to enjoy some of the best views of Lake Bled and the surrounding mountains. The ride through Zasip is particularly charming, with narrow lanes and lush greenery.

The route around these villages is firm and manageable, making it ideal for all levels, especially if you prefer a less strenuous experience. The guide will share local stories and point out interesting sights, adding depth beyond just the scenery.

The Lake Bled Loop and Island Visit

The highlight of the tour is the circuit around Lake Bled, where you can soak in the stunning views of the lake’s famous island topped with the Church of the Assumption. We loved the way the guide detailed the history and legends tied to the island, making the visit more meaningful.

A key feature — and a real treat — is the Pletna boat ride to Bled Island. The boats are traditional, with a colorful canopy and an experienced boatman, giving you plenty of time to snap photos and enjoy the tranquil atmosphere. The boat ride adds a charming, old-world element to the tour, contrasting beautifully with the modern eBike experience.

What’s Included and What’s Not

The cost covers everything you need for a smooth ride: a guide, the eBike, a helmet, a lock, bottled water, and the Pletna boat. It’s especially good value considering the quality of the bikes and the inclusions.

However, note that entrance fees to the church and tower on Bled Island are not included — a minor extra, but worth planning for if you want to go inside the church.
