Winter romantic experiences that warm the heart

Thinking of how to surprise your loved ones in the winter season? Take a look at some of our ideas for the most romantic winter experiences.

Love keeps us warm in winter

Love knows no seasons. Every day of the year, you can create a fairy tale for your loved ones with unforgettable romantic experiences. And in Slovenia we don’t wait for May to come (as the popular Slovenian song goes), but we give wings to love even on cold winter days. After all, a landscape covered in snow is already romantic in itself, is it not? Here are a few more tips on how you can enchant your loved ones and warm their hearts with unforgettable experiences.

A romantic dinner

The way to someone's heart is through their stomach, so invite your loved ones to a romantic dinner and spice it up with an unforgettable experience. If you don't know how to charm them, here are a few tips. Book a table at the Alpine Igloos by the idyllic Jasna Lake, where you'll not only enjoy culinary delights, but also a spectacular mountain backdrop. Or charm them with a matchless cable car dinner, where the gondola cabins on Krvavec are transformed into small private restaurants. Castles almost always create a romantic atmosphere, so you can visit selected castle restaurants. If you want to surprise your loved ones with a unique gourmet experience, take them to one of the Michelin-starred restaurants.

Romance in the city

A stroll through the charming city streets is definitely something to add to your list of romantic experiences. Especially if you visit one of the old town centres of the historic towns, where you will be enchanted by the cafés, restaurants, boutique shops and will be able to find a nice gift for your loved ones. And by the way, you can also wander into a gallery or a museum and look for love-themed motifs. In some places, you can top up your visit with a coffee or tea in the museum/gallery cafés.

If you're a contemporary art lover, you can stop by the creative centres, where you might even create something beautiful yourself in creative workshops. Ljubljana, the Slovenian capital, will fascinate you with its vibrant pulse and Plečnik's stunning architectural heritage. And if you're in Ljubljana in February, don't miss the unique LUV fest, celebrating love, art and wandering.

Active winter experiences to warm your heart

A snow-covered landscape transforms into a winter wonderland, the perfect setting for romance. Couples who like to be active can enjoy the snow and ice together. In addition to skiing, you can explore idyllic uplands and Alpine valleys that enchant you with their authenticity. Feel the romance of the shepherd's huts on Velika Planina, the grandeur of the Alpine peaks and snow-covered spruces on Pokljuka, enjoy the beauty of Logarska dolina valley or take a night walk with flaming torches/lamps in Tamar.

Experience the Treetop Walk at Rogla. A special experience (and competition!) awaits you in the Koroška region, where you can build a snow castle in honour of King Matjaž. If you prefer to stay in warmer valleys, take a romantic walk to Špičnik and to the heart-shaped road between the vineyards. In places caressed by the Mediterranean climate, you can also go for a bike wander on nice sunny days and taste local delicacies and wine in osmicas. In many places, you can put on your ice skates and create your own love choreography on the ice, perhaps to the sound of disco music.

Unique accommodation = your love nests

Your romantic visit to Slovenia in winter will be perfect if you choose the right "nest" for your getaway. If you like to disconnect from the wild everyday life and enjoy the peace in idyllic winter, you can find your shelter in Alpine hotels. A step away from winter, and one of the most romantic landscapes, Brda awaits you with its boutique accommodation, from traditional Brda houses to architecturally modern ones. Despite the winter, you can also "nestle" in a glamping site.

In Vipava Valley, for example, the Pikol glamping site awaits you even in winter. Enjoy the views of the wine-growing hills at Visole Panorama Glamping, or dream by the Drava River at Chocolate Village glamping. If you miss the city vibe, you can find cosy boutique city hotels, just a step away from fine restaurants and cultural activities.
