Bled is on the doorstep of the Julian Alps, the biggest and most iconic mountain range in Slovenia. Going on a guided hike in its winter wonderland will surely be a delight. Your guide will adjust the hike to the weather conditions and your capabilities, whether you are an expert hiker or a novice. You might be able to even hike to an iconic Triglav viewpoint.

If you're up for it, get a head start on your day by hiking up a hill in the early morning to catch a view of the sun rising above Lake Bled. After breakfast, pack your skis and head out for a bit of cross-country skiing. You’ll drive up to the Pokljuka plateau, an expansive area filled with pine forests. In its midst is a sports center, where Biathlon World Cup takes place each year. Whether you're an experienced skier or just beginning, there's something out here for everyone!

After returning back to Bled, you can opt for some more sightseeing of the lake surroundings, like the Bled Castle.

Snowshoeing is a unique experience that allows you to move anywhere on the snow without needing to make trails, and it feels like you're floating. It's perfect for anyone who wants to try something new, and it's easy and suitable for anyone.

Your guide will take you up to the trails near Vogel Ski Resort via a cable car ride. There, you will explore the snowy trails with a magnificent bird’s eye view of Lake Bohinj and a panoramic vista of the Julian Alps.

On the fifth day we move to Kranjska Gora in the far northwest of the country — the most popular winter resort in Slovenia. Spend a relaxing first part of the day and visit the authentic Alpine village in the town’s center or just enjoy the mountain vista encircling the lowlands. In the afternoon a unique adventure awaits you — dog sledding!

This day is full of different options you can choose from. If you already had an eye on the white slopes above Kranjska Gora the previous day, you should go skiing here. This resort is one of the most popular in Slovenia and an annual host of the Alpine Skiing World Cup.

Besides that, you can also hike to the shimmering Lake Jasna or hit the ice-skating rink in the town. Or if you feel very adventurous and the weather conditions permit it, you can try ice climbing on a nearby frozen waterfall.

Frequently Asked Questions

The included pickup and drop-off at the end of the holiday in the price published on our website is in Ljubljana. For any changes, please notify us upon booking. The included transfers are all the transfers between places and/or activities specified in the itinerary.

Both our back office team and our guides know where to go. We can give you recommendations or even pre-book some places for you. You can be adventurous and find places on your own. Either way, let us know if you would like any sort of help.

It is important to dress for the season. Slovenia has all 4 seasons, so please check the weather forecast before the day trip regarding temperatures and rainfall. When you are close to the Alps, the weather can change fairly quickly, so your best bet is to always bring an extra layer. We recommend shoes you will be comfortable in.

It really depends on the level of your restriction. Vegetarian options are fairly easy to find in Slovenia, but vegan dishes, on the other hand, are extremely hard to come by in rural areas of the country and in smaller towns. Please note that the places where we stop for lunch are often traditional and may have difficulties accommodating you outside of their standard menu. We suggest you keep this in mind.

Yes! Our holidays are designed to give you some free time every day to relax and spend it the way you want to. It is your holiday after all! For any advice and suggestions you can always turn to your tour leader or our back office, who will be more than happy to help you out.

The tour plan was really wonderful, a good balance of urban and outdoor locations and experiences. The trip app worked perfectly, making it simple to keep organized with excursion vouchers, route maps, site descriptions, etc. it also made it easy to communicate with the travel company when we occasionally had questions. We were amazed at how much variety there was in a relatively small area. I highly recommend this company and this particular trip plan for anyone who would like to explore this area of Slovenia.

Just outstanding! Guide Tine was a pleasure to travel with, extremely knowledgeable and accommodating. This company truly showcases the beauty of Slovenia from wine and cuisine to natural beauty and culture. We HIGHLY recommend a private food and wine tour!

The service provided by this company is first class. Our agent, Marusa was superb in terms of her communication, her suggestions and recommendations and brilliant organisation of our trip. Had we tied to organise for ourselves we would almost certainly have missed things out through lack of knowledge. Everything worked so well that we were able to make the most of our first wonderful visit to this beautiful, friendly and hospitable country. We loved it.

Slovenia Holidays did a fantastic job in putting together an eight-day, tailor-made tour for our small group. We had an amazing time and highly enjoyed all elements of our trip – including tour of Ljubljana, gorge hiking, visiting Slovenia’s famous caves, alpine views, hot air balloon ride, beautiful coastal town of Piran and, of course, delicious food and wine 😊. Our holiday agent – Grega - was a pleasure to work with and ensured our holiday covered the key locations and experiences Slovenia has to offer. The tour was a perfect introduction of Slovenia – beautiful and diverse country. We enjoyed everything, well organised and felt in safe hands. Our guide – Sanda - was a good match for us and tuned into our relaxed attitude. We would highly recommend Slovenia Holidays to anyone wishing to discover and explore real Slovenia.

Our private Hike and Bike tour was nothing short of amazing! We had a fantastic holiday, and Tomaz, our guide, went out of his way to ensure everything went smoothly. He was knowledgeable, punctual, entertaining, reliable, experienced... the perfect guide! It was a pleasure to indulge in such a breathtakingly beautiful country. Thank you, Ivana and Grega, for arranging our trip professionally and efficiently.
