For lovers of nature, Slovenia is a true paradise. From the mighty Julian Alps to the rolling meadows and green woodlands below, there’s beauty everywhere you look, with the uncrowded country brimming with majestic peaks, ice-blue rivers, serene lakes and huge caves as well as world-famous Lake Bled and its breathtaking island church.
European walk operator, On Foot Holidays, offers two, self-guided walking holidays in Slovenia including accommodation and daily baggage transfers along the way so that hikers need only carry a day pack on the track.
For mountain adventures, On Foot Holidays offers the ‘Slovenian Highlands’ hike – an exploration into true alpine territory without serious mountain climbing! And then there is On Foot Holidays’ ‘Classic Slovenia’ trek, which takes ‘slow travel’ enthusiasts through Slovenia’s ‘Karst’ region in the west of this tiny country – a breathtaking area of woodlands, meadows and unspoilt villages with an ever-present backdrop of mountains.
Curated for independent travellers, the eight-night ‘Slovenian Highlands’ hike features a veritable screen saver of pretty alpine meadows, lakes, waterfalls, whispering woodlands, dramatic valleys, charming villages and sweeping farmland. The route ends with two nights in a romantic B&B near world-famous Lake Bled and its striking chapel with soaring bell tower in the middle of the lake.
Prices – The eight-night ‘Slovenian Highlands’ hike is available from May to September and is graded medium in effort. The walk costs from £1310 per-person, twin-share, and includes accommodation along the route, daily breakfast and luggage transfers, two lunch picnics, two dinners and local transfers. Australians will receive a special five per cent saving when making the reservation before June 30, 2026 (request when booking using code SVH5), reducing the cost to £1245 per-person, twin-share (approximately A$2341 pp).
Meanwhile, On Foot Holidays’ six-night ‘Classic Slovenia’ trek is an easier inn-to-inn walk through Slovenia’s beautiful ‘Karst’ region – an area of woodlands, meadows and unspoilt villages set amongst mountains. From the capital, Ljubljana, walkers will stay at farms that produce their own wine, hams, honey and fruit, with the palate-pleasing journey ending in Italian seaport of Trieste just across the border.
Prices – The six-night ‘Classic Slovenia’ walk is available from April to October and is graded medium in effort. The walk costs from £1090 per-person, twin-share and includes accommodation along the route, daily breakfast and luggage transfers, four lunch picnics, three dinners and local transfers.
