Slovenia

Slovenia is a unique destination for exploring and travelling. It is a great destination for people who look for an active experience – the best and most excellent experience in the time that is available.

It is often said that we should look for beauty in the small things. If we follow this suggestion we sometimes find even more fascinating things than we expected. Slovenia is guaranteed to be the best example of this. A small land that you can come from one side to another in under 3 hours, a land that is home to only 2 million people, but a land to countless natural wonders. From high mountains that are touching the sky, to mysterious underworld in Karst. From breathtaking alpine lakes high above the tree line to emerald rivers and lakes and blue Adriatic sea. From big and modern cities to small, traditional villages. Slovenia is a country of diversity.

Slovenia as a tourist destination is a winner of many prestigious awards: it won the Destination Award in the 2015 Tourism for Tomorrow Awards as being the most sustainable destination. Bled won the award for being the best sport tourism town in 2016. It is quickly gaining reputation as being one of the most desired destinations among travellers.

A paradise for nature lovers and an adventurer’s playground it is a promise to all visitors to spend every moment of their stay mesmerised by the unique beauty of the land.

The options how to experience the country are endless, but as being an outdoor destination, We believe there is no better way to explore and discover a country, than to travel across the country on foot or by bike and give yourself an opportunity to see and find spots that otherwise you could not. Walk across the Julian Alps and conquer Mount Triglav, Slovenia’s highest mountain and feel like you are on top of the world. Bike across the country through the magnificent Trenta valley and explore some of the finest biking trails. Raft down the rivers and feel the rage of the rapids. Or go deep in the canyon and experience raw, untouched nature that remains hidden to most.
