We're Launching the Masterclass Tour with Matej Mohorič

This is something I’ve been thinking about for a long time. And it’s finally happening.

This October, Discover By Bike is running a seven-day road cycling tour of Slovenia with Matej Mohorič — Milan–San Remo 2022 champion, UCI Gravel World Champion 2024, and someone I’ve known since we sat in the same classroom in high school.

This isn’t a sponsorship. It’s two people from the same place doing something they genuinely believe in.

What the week looks like

The tour runs 21–27 October 2026 and is strictly limited to eight participants. We start at Lake Bled, ride through Triglav National Park, spend a night at Vila Muhr on Lake Bohinj, and finish in the wine hills of Goriška Brda along the Soča valley — covering around 550 kilometres and 8,000 metres of climbing across six riding days.

Matej joins the group for the first two days on his home roads. On the third evening, he cooks a private dinner for everyone at the outdoor pavilion kitchen at Ambient Resort in Bled.

Other highlights include a Michelin-starred dinner at Hiša Linhart in Radovljica, a helicopter transfer over the Julian Alps, an apiculture experience with a local beekeeper, and a vineyard and wine cellar visit in Goriška Brda. Full WorldTour-level support throughout — dedicated mechanic, daily sports massage, bike wash, laundry, and a professional photographer and videographer on the days riding with Matej.

The purpose behind it

Tour profits — estimated at 10,000 EUR — will be donated directly to the Mohorič Foundation, which supports young cyclists, children from socially disadvantaged backgrounds and children with disabilities across Slovenia through professional road bikes, cycling camps and youth partnerships.

Matej put it simply: “We want to have a super special, super authentic week. To show them Slovenia, show them the culture. To do something with a charity purpose.”

The details

21–27 October 2026 · 8 participants maximum · 9,900 EUR per person, all inclusive · WorldTour-level road bikes included

Today we went on an amazing trip with our kids aged 10 and 13 on Blaz's e-bikes. The bikes were ordered the day before and we were able to pick them up early in the morning to take a 60km tour on Blaz's advice. The battery lasted with ease, we still had a quarter left, and what great bikes they were! It is fantastic to discover the area around Lesce and Bled by bike, especially considering the busy traffic in the high season, you won't get anywhere by car and parking. By bike everywhere! And easy to do with the roads and cycle paths here. Highly recommended to rent your bicycles/e-bikes from Blaz!

We had a great day with the bikes. Everything worked out great. Blaz is very personable, organized a children's eBike for us easily and gave us good tips for the tour. I can only warmly recommend it 👍👍👍

Super experience with e-bike, very professional service and super kind management. I booked few hours before the bike and Bash did the best to accommodate timing. We also received best tips for slovenia bike tours. Highly recommend!

Our half day bike ride with Blaz in Triglav National Park was the highlight of our trip to Slovenia! Blaz is very friendly, personable, and attentive. He genuinely cared that we were having a good experience.

He picked us up in his van from the train station near Bled. (He also gave us advice when our train was delayed.) We then drove a short ways into the park. We got on our e-bikes and began the ride. The bikes were advanced, late-model bikes that were easy to use. The ride itself is beautiful through gorgeous landscapes, along a small river and past small in-holdings. We stopped for a tasty picnic lunch by a waterfall. Blaz brought local cheeses, breads, jams and meats. While Blaz set up the lunch, we took a short hike up to, and behind, the waterfall. After lunch we then biked back by a slightly different route to our starting point.

We returned to Lake Bled. Blaz said we could hold onto the bikes for a while longer while he took care of other business and that he would meet us later. We then used his bikes to bike around Lake Bled, stopping to rent rowboats to row to the island in the lake. We also stopped for dinner at a restaurant overlooking the lake recommended by Blaz. We arranged with Blaz to pick us up where he had dropped us off. He then drove us to the train station where we took the train back to Ljubljana.

We had a marvelous day thanks to Blaz. I highly recommend him!

The three bikes we rented made our stay in Bled 100 times more fun than it would have been just walking and driving. Blaz went out of his way to make sure our bikes were good fits for our range of body sizes and that we were comfortable operating them. Someday we hope to join one of his official bike tours in the beautiful Julian alps.

The most helpful, genuine and honest bike hire in bled. Blaz provided me with a last minute ebike and a tailor made bike packing route. It felt like hiring a bike from a friend, such a genuine and kind service. Thank you for making my trip to Slovenia unforgettable.

We had a fantastic time with Blaz' on our 3 day bike tour of Slovenia. He managed our lovely accommodations in Bled and all details concerning the e bike rental. The daily rides were tailored to meet our skill level and he really listened to our interests and needs. It was so nice to have the personal attention each day and he made us feel so welcome in his country. The geographic areas we visited were diverse and STUNNING! If we can, we'd love to come back and do it again!

My husband and I had a fantastic experience with Blaz and Discover By Bike. Blaz arranged for transports, lodging, bike rentals and some guided tours. Everything was top notch and Blaz was a terrific guide. He is kind, knowledgeable, skilled, thoughtful and fun. I can’t recommend him more highly!

We had a wonderful afternoon ride with Blaz. The weather in October was a bit cold but we had a great day out discovering the areas around Bled. Blaz was generous to share insights on Bled and Slovenia and was so easy to work with in setting up the excursion. We will book again with Blaz when we return to this beautiful country. Highly recommend!

We hadn't booked any bikes for our stay in Bled, the next day Blaz provided us with two high-quality e-bikes at short notice and took the time to suggest a great tour. Thank you for the prompt service, Blaz!

Blaz is a fantastic tour guide! He took us on trails around the area with amazing views and varied terrain/difficulty during our 3 day mountain biking tour. He took the time beforehand to learn what we were interested in doing, our skill level, and our comfort on a bike and then really delivered! You can tell that he’s passionate about what he does and wants to make sure you have a great time. We learned a lot about Slovenia from him and would love to come back for another tour. Book with him - you’ll be so glad you did. Thanks a bunch, Blaz!

We had a wonderful day with Blaz exploring the local area around Bled and learning some of its history. Blaz was a delightful guide who not only introduced us to the beautiful Slovenian countryside, but also to a new and gentler way of looking at life! The quality of the bikes was outstanding and Blaz took great care of us as a couple of riders with only moderate bike riding experience.
We had a great day and can highly recommend Blaz and his bike tours.

We just did a wonderful travel with Blaz! We are a group of ten friends from Brazil. He planned for us a tailor made travel . From Italy, to Slovenia and finishing in Croatia. Everything perfect planned by Blaz. He gave us an assistance during this 7 days , taking the luggages, reserving the dinner, hiring the hotels and the bikes and everything else.. And also organized a day trip to the capital of Slovenia Liubliana, Lake Bled and Postojna Cave. I highly recomend his service!!!

Took a guided tour last week with Blaz and I was delighted. Very knowledgeable and a really nice guy. We had a great chat about Slovenia which he is rightly very proud of. Bikes are good quality and well maintained. I highly recommend this tour company. David from Ireland.

It was possible to rent a bike last minute. Within thirty minutes four good quality bikes were ready to use!

The environment is amazing in this area. I would advise everyone to go on a bike trip with this tour guide.

What a great afternoon we had with Blaz! While visiting Ljublana for a few days (interrail) we wanted to find an opportunity to see the national park and Bled. Super to do this together with Blaz and on the e-mountainbikes of Discover By Bike. Blaz is very flexible, knows a lot about the history and culture and shares this with his guests. He even took a picnic with him to share some local food while we were at the lake.
Amazing countryside, fantastic trip, and by using e-mountain bikes you can make the tour as heavy as you like (challenge: who uses the least amount of battery during the trip 😉).
We had a tour of 4,5 hours and really really enjoyed it! Would recommend this to all.

After a week working in Ljubljana, I had a day to spare before flying home. As a keen cyclist, I found a route I’d like to ride and then contacted Doscover By Bike to see if they would be able to hire me a bike and also a guide to ride with, as I wasn’t familiar with the area. They were incredible! They checked out my idea for a route and improved on it, suggested the direction we should do it, and Blaz set a friendly pace.
I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

We had the greatest day with Blaz! A highlight of our time spent in Lake Bled. It was a challenging bike ride although his bikes handled the roads perfectly! The bikes were in excellent condition and easy to use! The pedal assist was nice to have on the hills! We strolled through villages and saw Triglav National park. Had a small picnic (local salmi and cheese) by a small beautiful lake. Honestly I loved this part the best because we had some great conversation with Blaz! He was full of interesting facts and taught us about the Slovenian culture. Thanks Blaz!! We also got to meet some of his best friends when we stopped for our Bled cake! We received a great tip for pizza in a neighboring village called Baffi House of Pizza! We tried that the next day!! Blaz is now considered our friend in Slovenia!

An absolute must for anyone visiting Slovenia. I am not normally one to rate tours as they can be very standard and generic but this tour is a one off experience that you will not undergo if you were not with a local.

Blaz took us on the most fun and incredible bike ride suited to our ability and needs. He took us to all the beautiful places that tourists do not get to so you get to experience all of the beautiful areas to yourself. We met some local people along the way, learnt about the local culture and ways, ate the local foods & drinks.

Blaz himself was a incredibly caring man who will look after you for the day. Great conversation along the route.

Thanks Blaz :-)

We spent the most fantastic morning with Blaz on Ebikes leaving from Bled and into the surroundings. The bikes were outstanding and he knows all sorts of interesting stuff about the area. He also supplied lunch of local produce. Definitely recommend anyone to spend time riding with this company if you are visiting Bled.

Just returned from a fantastic trip with Blaz. He is very knowledgeable about the local area and I would never have seen as much as I did if I had gone alone. He was very flexible and arranged the trip for me at very short notice. The surrounding area is stunning and the bikes were top of the range. I can’t recommend Blaz more highly!

Laurent Cool

Blaž is amazing! He fixed me a bike super fast and also made some routes so I could have a nice experience in the beautiful moutains around Bled.
If you want to know anything about going on a bike adventure he’s your man. I’ll be coming back next year with a small group to do an longer bike trip for sure!

Amazing tour and company riding with Blaž! We truly got to know Slovenia much more during our adventurous ride as he took us through the country, local spots, history, and mountains while sharing so many wonderful stories with us. We already look forward to coming back for more!

We recently took an e-bike trip as a part of our teambuilding event in Kranjska Gora, and it was really an excellent experience. Although the team members had various biking experiences and background, the route was doable for everybody. With interesting and funny facts about the area which our tour guide Blaž told us along the way, the biking trip turned into funny, interesting, and really relaxed biking experience. Highly recommended 😊 to all who wants to have awesome time on a bike.

We went on a bit different tour with Blaž - to the coast of Croatia (Istria). The seaside is amazing, and he is making sure that everyone in the group is doing well. The tour was a mixture of countryside, seaside and old city centres. You don’t need to be a big fan of cycling (I’m not), but the bike tour was really great experience. I would recommend this tour to a variety of people. 😁😊
