You may have heard of the Cliffs of Dover, but the cliffs of the Slovenian coast are a well kept secret. When you see the magic of Moon Bay for yourself, you’ll know why we want to keep it all to ourselves. Our tour will start in the port city of Koper where we will take the old road to Izola. We’ll explore meadows and orchards, ride along an abandoned railway track, descend through a tunnel down to the city of Portorož (literally meaning Port of Roses) and visit the Sečovlje Saltworks. On our way back, we’ll visit the picturesque city of Piran and take a refreshing dip in the Adriatic Sea. Terrain: asphalt and gravel This is a diverse trail that combines the flat coastal part with a hillier inland. E-bikes make this option also suitable for everyone.

A ride through one of the most beautiful forested karst plateaus in Slovenia. Ride down the majestic forest trails in the heart of Triglav National Park and enjoy breathtaking views of the Julian Alps, Lake Bled and Lake Bohinj. Visit idyllic villages along the way and explore their traditional way of living with sheep and cow herding, mushroom hunting and cheese-making. Terrain: gravel and dirt For all gravel lovers: You will not see any asphalt roads on this tour.

Lake Bled is a must-see attraction in Slovenia, but the crowds can make it into a less-than-ideal experience. Going off the beaten path is great, but where do you go? With our expert local guide, you will experience the best of both worlds in this Lake Bled bike ride. We’ll take the famous lakeside ride as well as visit hidden spots with amazing views of the lake. We’ll be far off the beaten path, riding through idyllic villages and enjoying the fresh air. We will also visit the Bled Castle with its mighty walls and rich history. If you want to see Bled not only for the pretty snapshots you’ve already seen online, but for its true beauty, join us for a ride your friends will envy you for. Terrain: asphalt and gravel The trail runs along lesser known bike trails around Lake Bled, perfect for our e-bikes.

Just around the corner from Ljubljana, a trip to a genuine Slovenian plateau awaits. Renowned for its authentic architecture and beautiful views of the Ljubljana Basin and Kamnik–Savinja Alps, Velika Planina is a perfect MTB destination. The ride will take you through forests and open pastures with cows and sheep, past traditional alpine huts where you can even get an opportunity to meet “old-school” shepherds and get to know their cheese-making tradition. Terrain: gravel and dirt A tour through all types of terrain is highly customisable and suitable for everyone.

This tour takes you through the heart of the Julian Alps while sticking to the technically less demanding wooded slopes, grassy ridges, and picturesque pastures. A bit easier than our Seven Lakes Valley Hut to Hut Hike due to being less rocky, it boasts one of the most beautiful views of Mt. Triglav and is doable off-season when the majority of the huts already close their doors. The route takes you from Bohinj to the Pokljuka Plateau and can include a descent to Bled. Along the way, you will come across many mountain pastures, each boasting a unique identity with its wooden cottages and lively Alpine ambiance. You will run into a few steeper climbs but mostly hike on pleasant forest paths across Pokljuka Plateau, follow the Mostnica River along the Voje Valley, and traverse a wide ridge above the Krma Valley.

Climbing Mt. Triglav is a longstanding Slovene tradition. It involves a perfect combination of physical challenges, spectacular views, and pride that comes with standing on this symbolically important summit. If you possess a decent amount of stamina and the desire to reach higher, then ascending Triglav is something you simply must try. There’s no hiking adventure quite like it! At 2,863 m (or 9,395 ft), Triglav towers above the other peaks of Slovenia’s Julian Alps. Not only is it the most popular mountain, the climb up to its peak is among the most pleasurable. Although many alpine enthusiasts tackle Triglav’s slopes during the high season, our expert guides know the best trails off the beaten path. You can avoid the crowds and enjoy the striking mountain backdrop and the local wildlife to the fullest. Don’t be surprised if a chamois or marmot strides into very close proximity indeed.

A three-day hiking tour in the Julian Alps allows you to see the best of this mountain range in a short time. This is the most popular multi day mountain trip in Slovenia, and one of the most mesmerizing hikes in all of Europe. We will hike through an incredibly varied landscape, with new sights to marvel at every day. The path will take you through the famous Valley of the Triglav Lakes, also known as the Seven Lakes Valley, surrounded by the highest summits of the Julian Alps. Apart from crystal clear high mountain lakes, we will also come across mountain pastures that provided livelihood to shepherds in these parts for centuries, and still do in some cases, so we’ll see plenty of sheep and cows. With a bit of luck we’ll also spot some wildlife residing in the high mountains like the chamois, ibex, and marmot.

Explore the Slovenian mountainous region of the Julian Alps from two towns on the opposite side of the mountain range, Bled and Bovec. These guided walking holidays are divided into two halves, each giving you a better insight into the half of the region you are residing in. Slovenia is itself often talked about as a country of numerous landscapes. But even just one region, the Julian Alps, is diverse enough to be the focus of a week-long holiday. Most of it is protected in the area of the Triglav National Park, the only one of its kind in Slovenia. Between the more apparent rocky mountains lie bustling green valleys, powered by crystal clear streams and rivers, making the lakes and meadows rich with flora and fauna.

On the western side of the Julian Alps, where the alpine world meets the Mediterranean climate, lies the small town of Bovec. Surrounded by imposing mountains and next to the famous Soča River, it is the place to spend your walking holidays. There is so much natural beauty to discover in the Soča Valley, three days is just enough to experience most of it. Bovec is located on the border of the Triglav National Park (TNP), Slovenia’s only national park. It covers an area of 840 square kilometres, one of which is the scenic Soča Valley. Its most beautiful part, inside the TNP, is only a 10-minute drive away from Bovec. It is where the iconic Soča River has carved up beautiful gorges full of emerald green pools. The valley is so picturesque it was a part of a few Hollywood films, most notably The Chronicles of Narnia.
