We drive for just 8 minutes to reach the cable car station. Here we jump on the cable car and in 11 minutes ascend 1300 metres to the Lovcen National Park. The view are as you would expect and when you arrive at the top station, where it's around 3-5 degrees cooler, we'll get fitted for on our bikes. After a safety briefing and description of what you will be seeing, we begin the descent which takes about 90-120 minutes depending on the duration and number of stops on the way down. The road is generally excellent and the grade is not steep.
