The 8 Hiking & Trekking Tours in Slovenia That Earn Their Price

1.Velika Planina Guided Hike

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 27 reviews · 6 hours · from $87Our pick

Guided hike from Ljubljana to Velika Planina in the Kamnik-Savinja Alps, with shepherd huts, mountain views, and a 6-hour day trip.

“This tour is a truly amazing and unique experience. The scenery is breathtaking, and I felt really lucky to be there. The hike is of medium difficulty. Daria, our guide, was wonderful – very kind and attentive to the group. My only comment is that the tour should really be longer. The climb takes time (for some people quite a lot), and in the end we had very little time in the village itself. For me, at least another hour would have made a big difference – otherwise it felt a bit like “arrive–see–go back.” Still, it was a great day and a great experience. Highly recommended.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 6 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $190

Small-group hike from Pokljuka to Debela Peč for panoramic Julian Alps and Lake Bled views, with a mountain hut stop.

“I was lucky to have had Alex take us on another tour equally great the 7 wonders tour. This climb was equally wonderful and Alex as before was very kind and very helpful. We come from a very flat part of the UK and haven't got experience doing this sort of activity especially with hiking poles. Alex throughout gave us confidence and guidance especially on the descent. I highly recommend this outdoor activity company.”

6.Panoramic Hike in Julian Alps

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 3 reviews · 8 hours · from $165

Guided hike to Debela Peč near Bled for big 360-degree views, a mountain hut meal, and a manageable pace from Pokljuka Plateau.

“Amazing hike with two lovely guides! It was our first time hiking in snow but they were really reassuring and well prepared for the hike. The views on the way up and at the top was magnificent! The trail started off easy and got harder towards the top but it was worth the effort. We stopped by a hut halfway and had a hearty meal (big portion!). The guy manning the hut was very friendly as well and gave us homemade bread and cake! This was the main highlight of our trip and though it was moderately challenging, we will highly recommend this to beginners who are fit and adventurous!…”

8.Hiking on the Edge of Ljubljana

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1 reviews · from $139

Hike Šmarna gora above Ljubljana, enjoy Ljubljana Castle views, and eat a traditional Smarna Gora lunch with a local guide.

“My guide was Alenka. She met me at the hotel from there we went to the start of the hike. My recommendation is wear good shoes - no flip flops. Most of the time you are in the shade. There are some steep parts but take your time. Alenka even had hiking poles for me. The poles were great for the way done. Once you get to the top the view is outstanding. Lunch is provided at the top. Highly recommend!”
