Climate change brings milder winters with less snow, creating new experiences for mountain biking enthusiasts. At Bikenomad, we first encountered this in 1996 when we organized the first MTB race on snow. Today, with e-bikes and modern winter gear, cycling is even easier – all year round.
The sunny winter landscapes around Jamnica and the Ecohotel Koroš provide the perfect backdrop for rides on snowy forest trails. Regularly cleared roads ensure a safe and thrilling experience that will leave you inspired.
The Single Trail Park Jamnica is open year-round. Even when there’s no snow, the trails present a unique challenge – covered in leaves, slippery roots, and frozen sections that put riders’ skills to the test.
Cycling in the mine beneath Mount Peca and on the Black Hole Trail is independent of the weather. With a constant temperature of about 10°C, they guarantee a perfect day on the bike, even in winter.
For us at Ecohotel Koroš, cycling is a way of life. Winter is not an obstacle but an opportunity for new adventures and skill development.
Let’s go biking!
