Responsible Slovenia

Slovenia is a boutique green destination for responsible people who appreciate nature and health, local culture and authentic experiences. Those who choose Slovenia for their hiking holidays respect the principles of safe exploration of mountains and nature protection wherever they go.

The most sustainability-oriented hiking destinations are recognised by the Slovenia Green Destination label. The best of them boast the platinum label, and the others have the gold, silver and bronze labels. All of them meet the strict standards of sustainable business and development of the tourism offering.

Sustainability is our commitment.

The Green Scheme of Slovenian Tourism is an example of sustainable tourism development in Europe. More than 200 providers, destinations, parks, attractions, agencies and restaurants have already obtained the Slovenian Green certificate. These include specialised hiking destinations and providers.

Safety is the foundation of a holiday.

Slovenia has been ranked among the ten safest countries in the world for years. Safety and health are also linked with international travel standards and these are marked in Slovenia with Green&Safe and Safe Travels labels. For your own safety and the safety of others and in order to protect the environment while hiking, follow the safety recommendations for the mountains and the rules for individual nature protected areas!

Diversity connects all features of Europe.

Slovenia embodies the essence of everything Europe has to offer. It’s the only country connecting the Alps, the Mediterranean, the Karst and the Pannonian Plain. Wherever you are, you are close to the starting points for hiking trails of various levels of difficulty.

Nature is the inspiration for tourism.

Outdoor activities go well with the exquisite local cuisine, health and well-being, experiences of towns and culture and genuine opportunities for business events. Also in mountain resorts!

Authenticity is the essence of unique experiences.

The most genuine local experiences that are not found anywhere else in the world bear the Slovenia Unique Experiences label. Some include trails in the high mountains or in the forests inhabited by bears! The quality of certified unique experiences is guaranteed by the Slovenian Tourist Board.
