Tour Overview

Embark on an enchanting journey through the Julian Alps, a pristine wilderness graced by the majestic Triglav, Slovenia’s highest peak. Traverse peaks, deep valleys, and winding gorges, immersing yourself in the natural beauty of Slovenia. Crystal clear waterfalls and lakes punctuate the landscape, creating picturesque vistas at every turn.

Venture to higher altitudes, where open meadows and lush green valleys await you. Ascend beyond the tree line to explore rocky ridges and experience the thrill of walking amidst alpine forests. The Julian Alps, situated in the heart of Europe and bordered by Italy, Austria, Hungary, and Croatia, offer you a serene escape away from the bustling crowds often found in more popular tourist destinations.

Discover the untouched charm of Slovenia, a hidden gem that has retained its authenticity. In the northwest, our two centres, Kranjska Gora and Bohinj, beckon with their idyllic locations not far from mountain passes leading into Italy and Austria. Kranjska Gora, a renowned ski resort in winter, transforms into a paradise for summer walkers, with alpine forests, meadows, and challenging rocky routes above the treeline.

As you transition between our centres, relish a stop at the spectacular Vintgar Gorge, culminating in the enchanting surroundings of Lake Bled for your personal exploration. Our second centre, Ribcev Laz, at Lake Bohinj, serves as a gateway to climbing Triglav. Here, you'll meander through traditional mountain villages, surrounded by mountains and dense forests, experiencing the allure of deep valleys, waterfalls, and lakes.

With two experienced leaders and two distinct grades, our walks offer you a unique blend of adventure and serenity, promising you some of the most picturesque hiking experiences in Europe.

I went on the Dobbiaco...

25-Jul-2024

I went on the Dobbiaco and the Tre Cime holiday in July 2024. This was an excellent holiday overall. The walks are very well designed and the scenery is beautiful. There are frequent rest points during the walks and, where possible, people can choose to stop and wait or leave the walks. There is a good variety of walks (lakes, forests and mountains) and the walk leader was excellent. I would recommend this holiday for those who want to see some of the most stunning scenery in the Dolomites and also want to do some enjoyable walking without the demands of the higher grade walks in the region.

07-Feb-2023

My first Winter Adventure, snowshoeing in Bach , Austria and will not be my last! The holiday exceeded my expectations from day 1! Everything was well organised, walks and scenery fabulous, hotel comfortable with a homely feel. I honestly cannot fault anything. Our walk leader Tania was excellent and went above and beyond what was expected. I am already looking towards booking another snowshoe holiday maybe in another location so I have a comparison. Overall an excellent experience and good value. 👌

Lake Como trip (level 2)...

22-Jun-2024

Lake Como trip (level 2) was outstanding. Our leader Elaine was excellent and planned our days with lovely surprises along the way. The scenery was outstanding, stunning walks with variation in the views, lovely restaurants, delicious food, comfortable accommodation. The boat rides across the lake were amazing. The villas and their gardens stunning. The group was small, and we enjoyed each other's company. One fantastic trip.
