Day 1

Arrival Day - Visit Lake Bled & Lake Bohinj

Meet the guide at the airport in the morning and start the day with a transfer to the alpine region.

First stop at picture-postcard Bled Lake, located at the foothills of the Julian Alps. With its' castle and island is one of Slovenia's main attractions. 

If time permits we will drive further into the valley and explore Lake Bohinj. Sitting in a quiet corner of a dead-end valley, the silent beauty of Lake Bohinj hits you smack in the face when you first arrive. It is located within the Triglav National Park therefore the construction around the lake has been held to a minimum.

End you day in Kranjska Gora.

Day 2

Explore Kranjska Gora

Depending on the snow conditions, we will select an appropriate hike that takes us towards the highest Slovenian peaks or into one of the beautiful valleys. On the way, we’ll stop at world-renowned Planica—the cradle of ski jumping—and Zelenci, a beautiful nature reserve where our longest river is born.

Wherever we go, you’ll be surrounded by the steep limestone walls and stunning jagged peaks of the Julian Alps. Before it gets dark, we will visit the (hopefully) frozen Peričnik waterfall.

If you are interested, you can also try curling or take a cross-country skiing lesson.
