To the high mountains from Alpine resorts
Explore the differences between the Julian Alps, the Karavanke and the Kamnik-Savinja Alps. You can go conquer the highest peaks of Slovenia from popular mountain resorts. Conquered peaks reward you with exceptional views over several mountain ranges, the highlands and the green valleys below you.
Where to go for hiking experiences in the high mountains
From lakes and rivers to Triglav
In pristine Bohinj and Bled, with its famous lake, in sporty Kranjska Gora and places between the white waters of the Soča River valley, the view continues to rise towards the sky! In Slovenia's first UNESCO biosphere reserve you are embraced by the peaks of the Julian Alps. Choose the routes to these peaks according to your physical fitness. Go to Triglav (2,864 m), Slovenia's highest mountain, with guides.
In the kingdom of Goldhorn
The Julian Alps in Slovenia are considered the kingdom of Goldhorn. The greatest treasures of this kingdom have been protected for almost a century by the Triglav National Park. In addition to the natural and cultural heritage, and the sustainable coexistence of nature and people, also awaiting you in the park are many easy and difficult mountain and hiking, long-distance and connecting trails. Go hiking there with a sense of environmental protection and follow all the rules that apply in the park!
on a caravan of mountains
The northern rim of Slovenia comprises the Karavanke range and its views of green forests and white rocks. Travel back in time by getting to know the geological features in the Dovžan Gorge near Tržič and in the Karavanke Geopark under the auspices of UNESCO. Mount Peca (Petzen) in Koroška, which offers fascinating underground experiences, is also part of the park.
Among the highest-lying farms
There is a beautiful view of the basin of the Slovenian capital from Krvavec in the Kamnik-Savinja Alps. Get to know the life of shepherds on the Velika Planina plateau. The highest-lying farms await you on the Solčava panoramic road, which rises above the famous Logar Valley – a glacial valley with waterfalls and a fairy tale-like forest.
Descents to hills and valleys
Experiences of the high mountains are inextricably linked to the features of the pre-Alpine hills and lower areas of Slovenia. While one can see Slovenia's varied terrain on almost every hike, it is long-distance trails that connect this extraordinary variety in a hiker-friendly way.
