Experience the beauty of Slovenia - in and out!

Great hiking balanced with rustic to gourmet eating!

janleung87

My friends and I did a hiking trip through this company. Our guide, Bugy, was great! The scenery will take your breath away. The meals will make you never want to leave. The wine rivals Napa and France! Amazing bonding trip with my 4 other friends. Highly recommended!! Thank you Bugy and Spela!

keelydean

One of the best travel experiences I’ve ever had! Everything went seamlessly and we didn’t have to think about organizing a thing – Spela and team had everything under control. The food and wine were absolutely amazing, the excursions were once in a lifetime, and of course, Reza was the BEST tour guide of all time. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to explore Slovenia – this is definitely the best way to do it

Hiking and Culinary Tour in Slovenia

They say getting to know the country without knowing its food and ways of life is not complete. Your guides know this, so they put together a 9-day hiking tour of Slovenia with daily tastings of the country’s cuisine. You’ll explore the varied landscapes of the Julian Alps, from rocky peaks and lush alpine meadows to crystal clear lakes and hidden waterfalls. Whether you’re sleeping in a farmhouse or a mountain hut, you’ll feel in sync with nature and get to know the traditional way of life. If you want a feast for the eyes and the stomach, venturing to Slovenia is your best bet!

Arrive to Ljubljana and check into your room. Use the day to explore the city: walk along the river banks, discover bridges, explore the historical city center, or visit the colorful marketplace. See the Ljubljana Castle and admire the city from the Outlook Tower. In the evening, you’ll have a welcome dinner with traditional Slovenian food.
Meals: Dinner
Accommodation: Hotel or farmhouse (Ljubljana)
First stop of the trip is Lake Bled, a picture-perfect lake with a small island in the middle of it with a church and a castle. A good start to hiking will be traversing the spectacular Bled Vintgar Gorge, a narrow canyon with an emerald river coursing through. Don’t miss out on the Bled custard-cream cake, the local specialty. Continue on to the glacial Lake Bohinj in a peaceful alpine valley, located in the heart of the Triglav National Park.
Meals: Breakfast and dinner
Distance: 2.5 miles (4km)
Hiking: 2.5 hours
Elevation gain: 692 ft (211m)

After a hearty breakfast, you’ll start your 3-day hut-to-hut hiking adventure in the heart of Triglav National Park.

Spend the night in a quaint mountain encircled by surrounding peaks.
Meals: Breakfast and dinner
Distance: 5 miles (8km)
Hiking: 5 hours
Elevation gain: 3,609 ft (1,100m)
Accommodation: Mountain hut
Go into the Valley of the Seven Triglav Lakes—traverse along the mountain trail, connecting 7 lakes in a verdant, high-altitude alpine valley.

Hiking: 6 hours
Elevation: +778 ft (237m), -2,306 ft (703m)

The evening is reserved for a gastronomic experience—relish the slow food dinner prepared by Ana Ros, World’s Best Female Chef for 2017, at her restaurant Hiša Franko with two Michelin stars, one of The World’s 50 Best Restaurants for 2021.
Meals: Breakfast and dinner
Distance: 4 miles (6km)

You’ll have time to swim in the pool or relax with a glass of wine. Your farewell dinner will be served in a family-run farm—each dish will be accompanied by a selection of your host’s wine and a stunning view of Goriška Brda.

Amazing guided experience- every aspect was super organized and we didn’t have to worry about transportation, accommodations, or reservations! We enjoyed sampling world-class biodynamic wines with head winemakers and blending in at local restaurants. Špela and Reza created and led a perfect intinery that my wife, friends, and I will cherish for the rest of our lives. I highly recommend this trip for anyone planning a group getaway with close friends – we experienced not only the vineyards of Goriška Brda, but also got a taste of the Julian Alps and Adriatic. We will be back to visit again- thank you so much!!

We were spoiled by this customized Service to our small group of 9. Excellent locations, destinations, and especially the “homestead” visits in 2 smaller towns where we met the proprietors and owners of farms with home made farm to table meals stood out. Our personal guide was exceptionally well educated, and engaging. We all built longtime memories, Slovenia is a beautiful country with wonderful and friendly people.
