What to expect

Lakes and valleys of Slovenia hiking holiday itinerary:

Day 1: ARRIVAL IN KRANJSKA GORA
The renowned ski resort of Kranjska Gora serves as the starting point for this tour. Well-known for its skiing, it attracts attention each January as the host of the annual World Cup Slalom. You\'ll spend your first night here, nestled in the shadows of the majestic western Julian Alps. (Accommodation in 4* hotel.)

Day 2: KRANJSKA GORA – JASNA VALLEY – KRANJSKA GORA (intermediate, 5 hrs, ↔ 17 km, ↑↓ 480 m)
Your warm-up walk begins with a visit to the first of many lakes you\'ll encounter on this journey: Lake Jasna. Framed by the jagged peaks of the Julian Alps, Lake Jasna offers an ideal spot for relaxation—but save that for the return leg of your walk, as there\'s much more to explore ahead. As you continue through the scenic Jasna Valley, you\'ll be welcomed by the mountain vistas of the Prisank and Razor peaks. On your way back, you\'ll pass by the \"Russian Chapel,\" a poignant memorial dedicated to the Russian POWs who perished during WWI while constructing the military road over the Vršič Pass. (Accommodation in 4* hotel.)

Day 3: PODKOREN – TRIPOINT (TRIPLE BORDER POINT) (intermediate, 5:30 hrs, ↔ 18 km, ↑ 490 m, ↓ 710 m)
This walk leads you through forests and mountain meadows to the summit of Mt. Peč (1,508 m), where the borders of Slovenia, Italy, and Austria converge. At the top, you\'ll be rewarded with panoramic views of the Julian Alps, Carnian Alps, and the Hohe Tauern range, Austria\'s highest alpine peaks. The trail then gently descends through the valley, guiding you to the source of the picturesque Sava River, Slovenia\'s longest, before returning to Kranjska Gora. (Accommodation in 4* hotel.)

Day 4: RADOVNA VALLEY – VINTGAR GORGE – LAKE BLED (intermediate, 4 hrs, ↔ 13 km, ↑ 160 m, ↓ 290 m)
One of our team members will drive you through the lush Radovna Valley, surrounded by towering mountain peaks, to the stunning Vintgar Gorge, where the Radovna River has carved a 150-meter-deep chasm. From there, you can walk along a wooden walkway that winds through the gorge, continuing on to the world-famous Lake Bled. Along the way, enjoy a stop at the charming Katarina Church viewpoint. (Accommodation in 4* hotel.)

Day 5: LAKE BLED – BOHINJSKA BELA - BLED (intermediate, 4:30 hrs, ↔ 15 km, ↑↓ 520 m)
On your walking holiday now enjoy a leisurely stroll around Bled, a charming town nestled on the shores of a stunning glacial lake. The medieval castle perched on a cliff overlooks the lake\'s iconic island church, creating a postcard-perfect scene. For the best views and photos of the lake, church, castle, and the Karavanke mountain range, take a hike up to the Mala Osojnica viewpoint on the lake\'s western side. Wrap up your day by indulging in a slice of the local specialty, Bled\'s famous cream cake, \"Kremšnita,\" at one of the delightful lakeside cafés. (Accommodation in 4* hotel.)

Day 6: POKLJUKA – USKOVNICA SADDLE – LAKE BOHINJ (intermediate, 4 hrs, ↔ 15 km, ↑ 50 m, ↓ 850 m)
You’ll be driven up to the scenic Pokljuka Plateau, where your hike begins, taking you through mountain pastures and past rustic farmhouses to a breathtaking viewpoint over Bohinj Valley. On your descent, stop at the historic village of Studor, where you can step back in time and explore its charming past. Your journey concludes at Lake Bohinj, a true gem nestled in the heart of Triglav National Park, alongside a quaint village on the lakeshore. (Accommodation in 4* hotel.)

Day 7: LAKE BOHINJ (intermediate, 5 hrs, ↔ 18 km, ↑↓ 260 m)
Spend the day exploring the serene beauty of this peaceful alpine lake, nestled beneath the peaks of the Julian Alps. Enjoy a refreshing swim in its crystal-clear waters and savor the taste of Bohinj trout. At the lake\'s western end, take a short hike to Savica Waterfall, the source of both the lake and the Sava Bohinjka River. For a breathtaking view of Mount Triglav, the Julian Alps\' highest peak, ride the cable car up to Vogel Mountain, perched at 1,532 meters. In the evening, unwind in one of the cozy village pubs and sample the local homemade honey brandy. (Accommodation in 4* hotel.)
