Greenhills Team
Greenhills is a small family-run business of 2 families, that began in 2018 under the wings of people with passion and vision for a better future – on a bike!
Greenhills Team are passionate sportspeople, including winter and summer activities. Fueled by their shared adrenaline, discovering hidden places, a love for socialising and good food inspired them to launch Greenhills Bike Tours Slovenia.
Jernej Demšar
CO-OWNER of Greenhills Slovenia.
Jernej’s journey as a professional snowboarder spanned from age 15 to 30, filled with countless travels for competitions, leading to prolonged stays in hotels and dining on hotel meals. Amidst the hectic circuits, the team yearned for the comforting flavours of home-cooked Slovenian food.
Despite Slovenia’s underdeveloped position, Jernej recognised Slovenia’s untapped tourism potential. An opportunity to highlight our region’s diverse offerings, such as natural landscapes of mountains, lakes, rivers, and sea, combined with great local food.
Janez Bernik
CO-OWNER of Greenhills.
Just like Jernej, Janez is a big sports enthusiast. Janez sees an opportunity in every story—just as he did many years ago when he recognized the potential in our cycling adventure. With his ideas, thoughtfulness, and perseverance, he is the hidden engine of our agency. He always follows the principle: if we don’t try, we won’t know.
He is passionate about innovations and loves being among the first to experience them, whether it’s snowboarding, kitesurfing, riding electric bikes, or exploring with an electric car. At heart, he is a true outdoor enthusiast who loves spending time in nature.
Urša Škornik
CRM / TOUR GUIDE at Greenhills.
Urša began her worldwide journey at the International School in Vienna (VIS-Austria), where she smoothly transitioned into utilising English and German as common languages. Following her time at VIS, she continued her education in England, studying Sports Management at Loughborough University. Her adventurous spirit eventually drew her back to her roots, and in late 2016, she returned to Slovenia. Jernej’s guidance inspired Urša to try other sports, including mountain biking. Leaving her comfort zone, she entrusted Jernej with exposing her to two new sports: e-MTB and kiteboarding, the latter made possible by Jernej’s co-ownership (with Janez) of Kiteskul, a kite school.
Jerca Bernik
TOUR GUIDE at Greenhills.
Jerca’s heart beats for outdoor adventures. A passionate mountaineer, climber, ski tourer, and cyclist, she finds her greatest joy on two wheels. Mountain biking through secluded trails nestled in the embrace of majestic peaks and embarking on bikepacking journeys with gravel or mountain bikes bring her unparalleled fulfillment. Drawn to the charm of hidden corners and paths, she believes they hold the truest beauty and deepest secrets. As a licensed mountain guide, she takes pride in uncovering these gems for others, crafting unforgettable cycling experiences. For Jerca, every ride tells a story, each tour a gateway to a thrilling adventure.
Unforgettable cycling days
