Slovenia Walking Holiday
Join Travel Escapes for a wonderful Slovenia Walking Holiday, a 7-night escorted tour designed to showcase the untouched natural beauty of the Julian Alps. This holiday is an ideal choice for outdoor enthusiasts who appreciate great value and well-organised itineraries. Slovenia is often called the hidden heart of Europe, and there is no better way to discover its limestone peaks, emerald rivers, and dramatic gorges than on foot. During this trip, we have arranged for you to stay in two distinct and charming locations. You will spend your first four nights just minutes from the serene Lake Bohinj, followed by three nights in the famous alpine town of Kranjska Gora.
This guided holiday offers total flexibility for all types of walkers. On every walking day, you can choose between a moderate or a challenging route. Our moderate paths usually cover 10km to 15km on manageable terrain, while our challenging routes can reach up to 23km with more significant inclines for those seeking a more strenuous experience. You will be accompanied by expert local guides who provide fascinating insights into the region’s geography and history, ensuring you never miss a highlight. We visit some of the most iconic natural landmarks in the country, including the breathtaking Vintgar Gorge and the spectacular Pericnik waterfall, one of the tallest in Slovenia.
We understand that a great holiday needs a balance of activity and relaxation. That is why we have included a full day at leisure, allowing you to explore independently or simply rest at your 4-star hotel. You might choose to visit the famous island church at Lake Bled or enjoy a coffee by the water while taking in the mountain views. To ensure a stress-free experience, we have included return flights, all transfers, and half-board accommodation. We even provide packed lunches on every walking day, so you are fully prepared for the trails ahead.
Our Slovenia Walking Holiday is perfectly suited for moderately experienced and experienced walkers alike. From the orientation meeting on your first morning to the final farewell dinner, every detail is handled by our professional team. Whether you are trekking through the idyllic Voje Valley or admiring the views from the high Vrsic mountain pass, you will be surrounded by some of the most spectacular scenery in Eastern Europe. This tour represents fantastic value for Irish travellers looking for an active, guided escape in a safe and welcoming destination.

You will spend the first four nights of your holiday here in a comfortable 4-star hotel.
2Voje Valley and the Mostnica Gorge+
After an orientation meeting with your local expert guides, you will choose between a moderate or challenging route. Both paths explore the Mostnica stream, which has carved a narrow 2km gorge above the village of Stara Fuzina. You will see extraordinary rock shapes and crystal-clear pools. The moderate route (10km) ends at the Voje waterfall, while the challenging route (17km) continues to the alpine pastures of Uskovnica on the Pokljuka plain.

Today's walk takes you to the stunning 1.6km Vintgar Gorge, carved by the Radovna River. You will follow wooden trails over rapids and waterfalls to the 13m Sum waterfall. The moderate group (10km) will visit the church of St. Katarina and enjoy free time in Lake Bled. The challenging group (13km) will continue to the Ojstrica and Osojnica peaks for magnificent views overlooking the lake and the surrounding mountains.
