On this Slovenia walking tour, you can partake in amazing experiences such as; Wolf tracking in the Kocevje forests, wine tasting in Brda and snowshoeing in Triglav National Park. Whilst Staying in Authentic and comfortable boutique hotels and guesthouses.



Slovenia is a country of contrasts, and never more so than during the winter months, when the high peaks of Triglav National Park and the thick primeval UNESCO heritage forests of Kocevje are blanketed in snow, yet the lush green valleys of the Brda vineyards below remain bathed in sunshine and warmer temperatures. We embrace the winter in Slovenia; donning snowshoes or popping mini crampons onto our walking boots to explore the achingly beautiful shores of Bohinj lake in the Julian Alps, and to walk into the adjacent mountains for a magical night in a refuge at Komna.



Our Slovenia winter experience would be incomplete without a visit to the stunning Kocevje region where we are joined by a local wildlife guide to learn about the wolves and bears that inhabit the pristine forests. Depending on snow levels, we will snowshoe to track wolves or enjoy winter walking in the virgin forest Rajhenavski Rog and to the 55m tall Queen of Rog fir tree, over 500 years old.



The warmer side of our adventure sees us head into the famous Brda wine making region, to taste the local wine and prosciutto, learning about the winemaking industry and the remarkable WW1 history of the area. Numerous battles were fought between the Austro Hungarian and Italian forces along the border between modern day Slovenia & Italy, with tragic and extensive losses. As you stand in the Peace Park at Sabotin Hill, with its far reaching views across both countries, it is hard to believe all that occurred here over 100 years ago.



Staying in comfortable 3 and 4 star hotels, and small guesthouses with en-suite bedrooms, we also escape to enjoy the thrill of a night in the mountains above Bohinj lake, with spectacular panoramic views.
