I cannot recommend this trip enough, full of gorgeous sights, fantastic food, waterfalls, gorges. The most picturesque trip I have ever done, it was like a fairytale. The guide was amazing and seemed to know absolutely everyone in the villages and was more than happy to share his knowledge and help us organize other activities outside the trip to make it all super easy for us. The Art Kristal Hotel was an amazing place to stay with lovely meals. The chocolate and wine tastings were well worth experiencing with incredible selections and knowledgeable hosts.

Itinerary

Explore the dramatic peaks, valleys and lakes of stunning Slovenia on this eight-day walking holiday. Uncover Triglav National Park's natural and cultural wonders, with walks to beautiful waterfalls, natural gorges and traditional farming villages, all from the comfort of our Lake Bohinj hotel.

day 1Join trip at Ljubljana Airport and drive to Lake Bohinj

Our trip begins in the Arrivals Hall at Ljubljana Joze Pucnik Airport (LJU) at 9.45pm. Please look out for your driver who will have a branded signboard. The latest time you should book a flight to arrive, to ensure you make this joining time, is 9.20pm. We'll travel to our hotel at Lake Bohinj as a group - a journey of around one hour. Lake Bohinj, in Triglav National Park, is the largest lake in Slovenia: the vast blue-green waters are surrounded by spruce forest and the awesome Julian Alps. The lake is less developed, unspoilt and considered by many to be more beautiful than its northerly cousin, Lake Bled. Arriving at Lake Bohinj we settle into our chalet-style hotel. Our comfortable base for the week is the family-run Hotel Kristal located a short walk from the lake, with views to Mt Triglav. The hotel offers typical Slovenian hospitality with a welcoming lounge, sauna and garden. Due to the late arrival time, our tour leader will meet you tomorrow morning (day 2) at breakfast after which there will be a short welcome meeting. If your flight arrives earlier in the day, you will have time to wait ahead of our group transfer tour hotel at Lake Bohinj. You can make the most of this time by taking the airport bus into Ljubljana, Slovenia's laid-back capital. The journey takes 45 minutes, and there is luggage storage available at the main bus station on arrival into the city. This ancient city, which dates back to the 12th century, is located on the emerald-green Ljubljanica River. It is a pedestrian-friendly city, which has much to offer - the centre is traffic free with bicycles free of charge. Explore the old town with its museums and castle or soak up the cosmopolitan atmosphere in one of its many riverside cafes and restaurants.
