About Our Walking Tours

At Walking Holidays Slovenia, we understand that everyone’s idea of the perfect walking holiday varies. That’s why we’ve designed our tours to cater to different preferences and levels of adventure:

  • Hotel-Based Holidays with Daily Hikes: Perfect for those who prefer a “home base” approach. Stay in one location and embark on daily hikes exploring the surrounding areas. Ideal for travellers looking to combine relaxation and comfort with adventure.

  • Inn-to-Inn Walking Holidays: For those who love to discover new horizons each day while not overexerting themselves. Walk from village to village, soaking in the changing landscapes and the warm hospitality of local inns and B&Bs.

  • Hut-to-Hut Hiking Holidays: Tailored for adventurers looking for a challenge, these holidays involve daily hikes in Slovenia’s mountains, staying in basic mountain huts away from civilization. It’s a demanding journey with basic accommodations designed for those who prioritise (or aren’t against) getting out of their comfort zone.

Guided or Self-Guided

Understanding the unique preferences of our travellers, we offer both guided and self-guided options for all our tours.

  • Self-Guided Tours: Ideal for independent adventurers, our self-guided tours provide you with all the necessary information and support to explore at your own pace. For added convenience, we offer options for car rentals, public transportation, or private transfers, ensuring your holiday is hassle-free. Inn-to-inn and hut-to-hut tours naturally include moving to new locations on foot, with exceptions where public transport can shorten the hike.

  • Guided Tours: When you opt for a guided tour, you let our expert guides take care of all the details. From navigating the trails to managing all transfers, our guides ensure a hassle-free experience.

All our location-based holidays are designed with accessibility in mind, providing options for public transportation or including private transfers when necessary. We also offer car rental arrangements or additional private transfers upon request, recommended for some holidays as the most convenient way to explore.

Explore Slovenia’s enchanting landscapes, from serene lakes and lush forests to majestic mountains and charming villages, all at your own pace and preference.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our guided walking tours are led by UIMLA or IMFGA internationally licensed guides who have completed many years of training to make your walking holidays both safe and enjoyable. They are enthusiastic individuals who are ready to share their passion for Slovenia and its rich culture and nature with you, and make your walking holiday one to remember.

We are always looking for the perfect fit for you. We use a few different accommodation providers that fit our standards but they are subjected to availability, especially in the high season. We can also adjust the holiday, keeping in mind your preferences and budget and can always find a more suitable solution for your taste.

We recommend booking as early as possible. Slovenian mountain huts are very popular and get booked up several weeks in advance, especially on weekends. If your booking is late, we will try our best to find a suitable alternative. Sometimes, last-minute spots open up. However, we cannot guarantee a free spot.

All of the huts offer vegetarian options and usually at least one vegan option. Still, kitchens high up are basic, so don’t expect too many choices. Huts generally serve authentic meals like stews, soups, and sausages. If you have strict dietary restrictions, consider bringing your own food as they can’t make a special meal per request.

If you want to, sure! We are well aware that some people love to stay in groups while others prefer some more alone time on their trip. We wanted to give you the opportunity to do things your way. It is your holiday, after all! As long as you respect the group timings and locations designated by your guide, please feel free to customize your itinerary and create your own adventure!

Depending on the tour, some of our tours go through high mountains and there is still snow in spring (sometimes as late as early June) and autumn (sometimes as early as October). Other tours don’t go as high and are suitable for spring and autumn as well as summer. Read more about hiking seasons in Slovenia.

Most of the tours can be done even in light rain, as long as you dress accordingly. It is not unusual in the summer that there are afternoon thunderstorms, so early starts are advisable. If the weather looks really bad, we will try to reschedule or propose an alternative tour.

Some of our tours are hut-to-hut tours, with overnights in authentic mountain huts. Try to pack light, only take what you really need. You need your passport or ID for check-in, and some cash is advisable if the internet is down. Bring your sleeping liner and earplugs for the night, and toothbrush and body wipes for hygiene. You don’t need slippers, they are in the hut already
