About Walking Holidays in Slovenia

With its beautiful scenery of mountains, valleys, lakes, waterfalls, and rivers, Slovenia is truly a hiking paradise.

It’s no surprise that hiking and mountaineering have long been national sports and a favourite pastime for many Slovenians. This is evident in the many well-maintained and thoroughly marked trails that make self-guided walking tours a viable option for anyone with some hiking experience.

Guided walking holidays in Slovenia are perfect for both experienced and inexperienced hikers who wish to spend some time with locals and benefit from their local insight. There are also plenty of mountain huts offering hearty traditional dishes and a place to spend the night if you’re interested in hut-to-hut hiking.

Another option is to choose a home base and head on daily hikes from there. This way you can either explore local cuisine in the authenticity of the mountain huts or try the many excellent restaurants in the evenings, after your hike. This is an especially great way to spend your holiday if you prefer walking on fairly level terrain and wish to experience the natural wonders of the Julian Alps along the way, without the physical strain of difficult ascents.

We primarily offer hikes in the Julian Alps on our Slovenia mountain holidays, and that is because they contain a wide array of hiking routes, and all of them come with amazing views. You are guaranteed to be amazed by the gorgeous mountain lakes, green valleys, pristine rivers, and mesmerizing waterfalls of this region.

We offer planned Slovenia hiking holidays with great walking trails and have the knowledge and experience to create any custom hikes as well.

You can choose between a guided tour with experienced local hiking guides or a self-guided tour where we prepare your itinerary along with detailed maps and make reservations for your accommodations. There are different accommodation options, depending on your route and whether you would like to sleep in the comfort of the hotels in the valley, or experience the minimal but cosy comfort of mountain huts.

If our options are not enough, Walking Holidays Slovenia, our sister brand might have something for you.

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 / World Discovery ( travel agent Grega) arranged a one week travel program for us in Slovenia, combining our own wishes of some hiking and nature experiences, some sea-, city- and country-side visits and his own suggestions (Ljubljana food tour, Planina cave spelunking with personal guide, etc.). The process around customising the itinerary and perfecting it went very smooth. He arranged tickets, guides and a rental car, all accessible through a neat app, and the plan turned out to fit very well, including a rental car upgrade to accommodate larger then anticipated suitcases. We had not heard so much about Slovenia beforehand, but it is amazing, as are its people, food, culture and not least its diverse nature, its exceptional gorges and caves.

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.
