FAQs: Slovenia
What should I know about Slovenia?
Slovenia is a small country in Central Europe, with a short coastline to the Adriatic Sea. Over half of its territory is covered by meadows and forests, while the mountainous areas lie to the northwest. Often overlooked when traveling through Europe, Slovenia is fast-growing as a top destination among outdoor lovers. Less crowds, breathtaking natural sceneries, lower prices and a broad offer of all-year-round activities, make it a truly gem. Besides, Slovenia has a strong winemaking tradition, including the world’s oldest vine in the city of Maribor.
Why should I choose Slovenia for my adventure?
The majestic Julian Aps
Stretching beyond the Italian border, this imposing mountain range is home to Slovenia’s highest peak and national symbol: Mount Triglav. The area offers endless options for rock climbing, mountaineering, hiking and ski touring.
Green destination
In 2016, Slovenia became the first green destination in the world. Bike-friendly cities ‒like the wonderful capital, Ljubljana‒, pristine landscapes, a strong cultural heritage and a cuisine based on fresh seasonal ingredients encourage a sustainable travel experience.
Bled, idyllic mountain town
Lake Bled ‒with its tiny island and picturesque church‒ is probably the most iconic sight in Slovenia. The town is also the best starting point for all kinds of outdoor adventures in the Julian Alps, the Karavanke mountains and the Kamnik-Savinja Alps.
What can I expect from the weather in Slovenia?
The northwest of Slovenia has an Alpine weather, with mild temperatures during summer (including occasional storms) and very cold temperatures in the winter season. Spring and autumn provide pleasant weather conditions. The Adriatic coast has a Mediterranean weather: hot summers and pleasant temperatures even in winter.

Slovenia is very well connected by train and bus with its neighbouring countries (Italy, Hungary, Croatia and Austria).

What people are saying about Slovenia trips
Kevin
A really excellent service provided by Mitja, who sourced the fantastic mountain guide Peter Jeromel. Both provided superb advice and we were able to create a challenging but achievable climb of Triglav in winter conditions.
Ann
We had an amazing time. Our guide gave us many information about the regions flora and fauna. Even though the sight at the very top wasn't so good this day, the climb up was vey exciting. Thanks a lot.
Javier
Great experience and great professional guide.
Sheryl
Dean was prompt and super knowledgeable about the area we were going to. He guided us safely to Slemenova Spica to enjoy the Julian Alps. As two girls from the city, we don't have much hiking experience, and he was patient and super helpful. We enjoyed our trip so much and it has been the highlight of our Slovenia trip. Thanks once again, Dean, for taking us on this experience!
Sarah
Loved Slovenia and would highly recommend for those who enjoy the outdoors and walking. The via ferrata route was great for a morning hike. Stunning views and not too hard which was good given the heat that day. Our guide Borut (replaced by Gregor at the last minute as I had misjudged our dates so very much appreciated it) was lovely and made our trip even better.
