Roadbook
The Ultra X Slovenia 60 km Trail starts at the Main Square in Ajdovščina before climbing steadily through woodland towards Podrta Gora, leaving the valley behind and entering the mountain landscapes of the Trnovo Plateau.
The route then follows one of its defining highlights—a spectacular traverse along the limestone edge above the Vipava Valley. This panoramic ridge section offers continuous views across the valley, the Kras and the surrounding mountain ranges, making it one of the most memorable parts of the entire trail.
Beyond the ridge, the trail continues through the forests and high plateaus of Trnovski gozd, combining flowing singletracks with rocky mountain paths before beginning a long descent back towards Ajdovščina.
The route combines sustained climbing, technical mountain terrain, runnable forest trails and exposed panoramic sections into a demanding but rewarding mountain adventure, showcasing the wild character of the Vipava Valley.
