Itinerary of the trip

Today is all about settling in your luxurious hotel by the magical Lake Bled and exploring its surroundings on the doorstep of the Julian Alps. Depending on the time at your disposal, you can take a walk around the lake, try a bite of the famous local “kremšnita” creme cake, or visit the Bled Castle on a little hilltop overlooking the lakeside. Let the adventure begin!

Today, you’ll walk across the fields above Bled to Vintgar Gorge, where Radovna River cut a deep ravine, which visitors can now traverse along a series of boardwalks fixed along the side of the steep stone walls. Then, you’ll return to the lakeside, where you can take the traditional pletna boat ride to the lake’s island, wrapping up a magical day at Lake Bled. After a day filled with new experiences, you’ll return to Bled for another night at Adora Luxury Hotel or similar.

Hiking

7-17 km and 300-600 m of elevation gain/loss

Gallery

Bled Round Trail is a scenic circular hike around Lake Bled, taking you across several panoramic viewpoints surrounding Lake Bled, such as Mt. Ojstrica, Mala Osojnica, Bled Castle, etc. You’ll start from your doorstep, and you can take it at your own pace or even do only a section of the entire route. Then, you’ll return to the comforts of your hotel for your final night in Bled.

Hiking

13 km and 700 m of elevation gain/loss

Gallery

After being transferred to Kranjska Gora and checking into your hotel, you’ll kick off your walking holidays by following a pleasant gravel footpath along the Pišnica stream, passing Lake Jasna and eventually reaching the entrance to Krnica Valley beneath the mighty mountain faces of the central Julian Alps. You can hike to the hut in the valley or continue upwards, ascending past the Russian Chapel beneath Vršič Pass and returning to your charming boutique hotel on the shores of Lake Jasna.

Hiking

12-15 km and 700 m of elevation gain/loss

Gallery

A new day brings about a hike to one of the most scenic and easily accessible viewpoints in the Julian Alps – Slemenova Špica, which stands above Tamar Valley. A private transfer will take you to the top of Vršič Pass, from where you’ll follow an ascending path to a saddle, from where the path weaves and undulates below the Mojstrovka mountains before making the final climb to the panoramic summit. Don’t let the hike’s length fool you, as the terrain is uneven and unforgiving, thus requiring sure-footedness.

Hiking

5 km and 500 m of elevation gain/loss

Gallery

After your final night in the alpine embrace of Kranjska Gora, you’ll be transferred to Slovenia’s charming capital, where you’ll check into a 5-star hotel in the city centre. Our guide will pick you up and take you on a 2-hour exploration of Ljubljana’s Old Town, introducing you to the rich cultural heritage of the city and its most iconic landmarks. Beyond that, the time is yours to fill, but we would thoroughly recommend a luscious dinner at one of the many fine-dining restaurants to celebrate the end of your holiday.

Gallery

For your last day in Slovenia, you can enjoy some leisure moments in sunny Ljubljana, walking the paved streets by the Ljubljanica River and having a cup of coffee at one of the many coffee shops on its banks. Grab some souvenirs before your private transfer picks you up to take you to the airport.

Allow yourself a lavish experience in the heart of Slovenia’s stunning alpine landscape while indulging in the finer things in life – top-quality culinary delights and high-end accommodations in a dreamy setting.

Our aim is to provide a getaway at the pinnacle of luxury and style as you explore the breathtaking natural beauty of Slovenia.

Settled on the outskirts of the Julian Alps, you will explore Slovenia's most captivating corners, including Lakes Bled and Bohinj, the Pokljuka Plateau, the valleys around Kranjska Gora, and the enchanting surroundings of the Soča River. The diversity you will experience is unmatchable, with spectacular views accompanying you around the protected area of the Triglav National Park.

Our expert guides know the local terrain like the back of their pockets and are well-versed in adapting to unpredictable factors daily. Be it the weather or your last-minute wish - they will always have a suitable solution ready!

You can also opt for a self-guided holiday, giving you full control over your time while we provide round-the-clock support for anything you might need before and during the vacation.

It allows us lots of flexibility when it comes to planning these holidays. Therefore, the itinerary is not set in stone, and we will design it based on your input. Whether you want an additional rest day, lodging, or a day set aside for sightseeing and other activities like rafting or cycling - we will make it happen.

But we also want you well-fed and rested for such adventures. You will visit a new cream-of-the-crop local restaurant every day, taking your taste buds on a wild roller coaster ride – from local delicacies to specialties you will be eating for the first time.

Add wine or cheese tasting into the equation, and you are in for a week of sheer culinary hedonism.

And come evening – premium accommodations with all amenities for a stay of utmost comfort.

Whichever luxurious hotel we book for you, you will always only be a short car ride from the starting points for your daily walks in nature. Even though infrastructural limitations do not always allow us to place you in a 5-star hotel, you will find that the entire experience is even better in these boutique resorts.

Do not forget about hiking shoes and sports clothes when packing your suitcases. And just like that, you are all set for a week of unwinding in the lap of luxury with our Luxury Walking Holidays in Slovenia.

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

9 day hiking trip including rafting and mountain biking. Sadly the weather didn’t help, we had a lot of rain, but Klemen modified our plans, making it a great experience after all. Klemen is an excellent guide and I highly recommend him!!!

We had an incredible trek! The itinerary was exactly what we wanted, communication was excellent with the company. They were so helpful throughout the planning process and when we were in country. Slovenia exceeded our expectations. We can't recommend them enough!

A very good travel agency (also known as "Slovenia Cycling Holidays") who worked flexibly with me to develop our tailor-made holiday based on the self-guided hike and bike tour. Staff were always pleasant and responsive and patient with changing plans. Note this is not a bike holiday operator so, while they book hotels, taxis to move your luggage, hire bikes and a guide for walking, they don't provide technical back up, a van or their own bikes customised for touring. We therefore had to ask a few questions about those small but essential things like where to leave luggage, when bikes would be delivered and where were our promised phone holders (essential as you use your own phone for navigating). The hike and bike is a brilliant concept, as you miss out on the interior of the mountains if you only travel by road. The route was very good, hotels were all great, and the guide (see separate review on "Triglav Tours") amazing. Sadly, though, we did not receive the call on the rainy day (as another reviewer mentions) to arrange faster luggage delivery after a short, but drenching, ride. We tried to get this, but It in fact came late, so we were stuck in a hotel room in Bled for 4 hours on a sunny afternoon with nothing but hotel bathrobes to wear! Our contact responded when we asked for help, but we did not experience the proactivity mentioned by others. That said, the company clearly have well established links with excellent providers and can be trusted to put everything in place and to respond quickly if an arrangement has fallen through. Recommended, but be prepared to be involved yourself in the finer details.

We went on a trip to Slovenia for hiking, ferrata, rafting, and biking. Klemen was an excellent guide and was very flexible in changing the schedule due to rain. I would highly recommend Klemen and his co-guides to everyone. He is very athletic and also just a great person.
