Biggest Mountain Bike weekend in Ljubljana. Join us for one of many actitivies – riding, racing, concerts and plenty of fun.
People of Ljubljana like to ride.
Ljubljana is one of the cycling capitals – but also a capital of mountain biking. How do we back this claim? There are thousands of us from Ljubljana that choose mountain biking as the favorite sport and also a lifestyle. There are vast number of excellent trails on the hills and mountains around Ljubljana, and more and more of them are built with the help of hard-working volunteers and enthusiasts. We already have number of amazing asphalt pump tracks (named KoloPark) and more will pop-out in the future. We have a city cycling school with close to 200 aspiring mountain bikers and BMXers. We have clubs and communities that strive for better trails, accessibility and image of the whole scene. We have phenomena like Golovec Trails and Bike Park Ljubljana (both parks aspired wave of trail parks around Slovenia). And all of these are integrated in the city and we don’t have to ride with cars to get to these places. You just have to sit on your bike and ride. After you’re done with your favorite trail it will only take minutes to get to the city center and enjoy a cold drink or ice-cream with your friends.
Ljubljana MTB Vikend (Vikend = Weekend) connects and glorifies all of the above, but mostly leans on the first among the above facts. People of Ljubljana like to ride their bikes. This is why we’ll mostly ride in the days of the festival, we have everything from the group rides to race events on the schedule. Everyone will find something to his/her taste, and everyone will have a chance to try something new.
Ljubljana is not only a great location for riding, but also a perfect starting point for cycling holidays in Slovenia, which is one of the festival messages to fans of cycling from all around the globe.
Join us on the third edition of the festival, it’s going to be fun!
This year also a big concert! We’ll reveal the band in the coming weeks! Entrance to the venue is free until 18:00, after that the entrance fee is 10 EUR
On Wednesdeay we will open the festival in the City! We’ll all meet on pump track KoloPark Spodnja Šiška, right next to the legendary sports bar Lepa Žiga. We’ll ride for those who need help and then listen to the sounds of a famous DJ! List of athletes doing the charity ride will be published soon!

DAYS FOR GROUP RIDES & WORKSHOPS – 12TH-18TH SEPTEMBER 2022
Big part of the festival will be all about riding and hanging out. Group rides & workshops will take place on Golovec, Polhov Gradec Dolomites and Ljubljana Marshes. You can expect great routes and best company. We’ll finish most of the riders in legendary bar Lepa Žoga (near Tivoli Park) and do some more riding on the pump track.
The time has come to show all of your skills and prove yourself as the “jack of all trades” of mountain biking. You will compete in several short challenges that will include everything from enduro descent to uphill, pump track and dual slalom course. Race day will end with Golovec Trails enduro prologue. Everything with one bicycle, everything in one day. Best will be crowned as the King & Queen of Bike Park Ljubljana. We’ll also organize animation for kids, so the parents can ride in peace, knowing that their youngsters are in safe hands.

BIKEHANIC BIG LINE SESSION, 22. 9. 2022
Velik skok v Bike Parku Ljubljana je večji del leta zaprt. In to ne brez razloga – enostavno je prevelik, da bi se ljudje malo za hec “čez metali”. A velikost ima tudi svoj čar in atraktivnost, in v času festivala se bo znova zgodil vrhunec sezone na tej prenovljeni liniji skokov. A to še ni vse – pogumni kolesarji bodo letos vse svoje trike in letalne sposobnosti pokazali tudi na novi liniji skokov.

LOO-BLAH-NAH DUAL SLALOM – 23th September 2022
Discipline, that we all used to know and ride, must be on the schedule here and there. The dual slalom track is a permanent feature of the Bike Park Ljubljana and is often used for duels and training, this year we’re putting it in the official program of the festival. With start gates, fans and everything that comes along.
The track is non-technical and suitable for basically every mountain biker, but we of course also want to see riders from the glory days of the sport on the race.

There will be also a fun race for kids. All stages will be on Golovec while the main event area is next to the Oskar Kovačič Elementary School in Rudnik area.
