The cycling route from Luče to Velika planina represents one of the most picturesque and demanding cycling experiences in the Upper Savinjska Valley. Velika planina (1611 m) is known for its unique herders heritage, high-mountain landscape and wide views of the Kamnik-Savinja Alps.

The route offers a true mountain experience – a combination of asphalt and gravel sections, longer climbs and unspoiled nature. Such tours to Velika planina are among the more demanding, often as long as around 40–50 km with more than 1000 m of elevation difference, which places them among the popular challenges for fitter cyclists.

A special feature of the route is the contrast between the calm alpine valley along the Savinja River and the open pastures on the plateau, where the characteristic shepherds huts stand. Velika planina is considered one of the most recognizable high-mountain plateaus in Slovenia, where nature and tradition meet.

Thanks to its views, the variety of terrain and its unique destination, this cycling route is an excellent choice for experienced recreational riders seeking a more demanding challenge and a top-class mountain experience.
