Ultimate Active Holidays Slovenia

Begin your holiday at Lake Bled, the most popular destination in Slovenia. Change into your sports gear and take a paddle board out on the lake. Stop at Bled island and take in the stunning views of the surrounding mountains, and try some amazing gelato. Round off the day with a hike to Osojnica Hill, where you will enjoy marvelous evening views of the lake.

For the early risers among us, we can wake up before dawn and hike up a small hill called Ojstrica to see the sunrise reflected in Lake Bled. We will have time for breakfast and some downtime before heading to Lake Bohinj. Go on an exhilarating canyoning adventure in a nearby canyon, abseiling, tobogganing, and jumping down the cool stream.

​​After lunch, we'll head out kayaking on Lake Bohinj and then down the Sava Bohinjka River. In the afternoon, we will take it easy around Lake Bohinj, but if you are more active and adventurous, there is a trail around the lake as well as bike hire to explore the area further.

Important:

Bring a swimsuit and towel for canyoning and kayaking.

Start the day by driving up a winding mountain road leading over the Vršič Pass and taking in the amazing scenery of the Julian Alps. We will continue our drive to the valley of the emerald Soča River, where we will enjoy some light hiking before reaching Bovec — the adrenaline capital of Slovenia — where you'll spend a couple of days.

After lunch, you'll get back in harnesses and head to the zipline in the mountains above the town, where a series of steel cables will send you flying across the valley for a thrilling adventure with spectacular views. To end the day, we will hike around Bovec and visit the Virje Waterfall.

Enjoy a morning off, sleep in, and explore the area of Bovec. Fill up on energy for an exciting afternoon of white water rafting down the Soča River — the perfect way to experience this alpine jewel. We will finish the day strong with a drive up the highest road in Slovenia, the Mangart Pass, which is more than 2,000 meters (about 6500 feet) above sea level. You will be amazed by the views, and feel like you're on top of the world.

Don’t forget to bring a swimsuit and towel for this day full of wet fun!

Even on the third day here, there is still so much to see in the Soča Valley. Leaving Bovec, we will head south to hike to the Kozjak Waterfall. We will then continue to the Tolmin Gorge, a deep and narrow canyon nestled in the Triglav National Park. In the afternoon, we will head back to Ljubljana and have some free time to explore the city.

Those who visit Slovenia should not miss the opportunity to explore the underground world of the Slovenian Karst. The experience of a lifetime awaits you as you venture into the darkness of the cave with full caving equipment, and make your way across underground pools as the first explorers did.

The rest of the day will be spent above ground, in pristine Slovenian forests, searching for an encounter with the brown bear in its natural habitat. You’ll do this from a safe lookout, with an expert guide. But you’re sure to find it thrilling nonetheless!

Adventure awaits when we head north to a town called Mežica, once a famous mining town with a flooded lead and zinc mine. We will explore this underground world by kayak for a truly unique experience.

After an exhilarating adventure and a lot of hard work, you will get to enjoy a hearty miner’s lunch for an immersive finish. On our way back to Ljubljana, we will stop in Logar Valley, a most picturesque valley in the heart of the Kamnik-Savinja Alps.

End your adventure holiday by exploring Slovenia’s vibrant capital city on two wheels. Take in the main attractions in the center, and then go farther afield, exploring greener parts of Ljubljana and some sights that are easy to miss when you don't have a bike.

Not enough? We can always add days after or before the holiday to make your holiday in Slovenia longer!
