Active holidays in the embrace of nature

Slovenia is a green playground in the middle of Europe. Its diverse landscape where the Karst, Mediterranean, Alpine and Pannonian worlds meet offers a wide range of possibilities for active outdoor adventures that you will find hardly anywhere else.

Climb to the top of a mountain or a hill. On foot or by bicycle. Have fun with your kids in family-friendly ski resorts. Feel the adrenaline. Breathe in the freshness of nature amid green forests, on horseback, by the water or on golf courses. Enter the world of active experiences.

 

Safety first

There is a saying in Slovenia, i.e. “The mountains are not crazy, but those who climb them are.” Therefore, it is very important to ensure your own safety when going into the mountains. Use the appropriate equipment, check the weather and snow conditions and choose trails that suit your physical condition. If this is your first time going into the mountains, it’s recommended that you are accompanied by a mountain guide.

No matter when you visit Slovenia, there is always something to do.  Active adventures await you all year round.

WINTER

While skiers, snowboarders and other winter enthusiasts can enjoy the snow, those at the other end of Slovenia can cycle and walk in clear weather or catch the bora wind in the Adriatic Sea. 

SPRING

When the hills turn green, the easily accessible mountain huts are often full of hikers and mountain bikers. Seekers of adrenaline adventures in the air can also spread their wings, while climbers at that time look for challenges on the steep rocky slopes near the sea shore.

SUMMER

When the sun warms up the highest Slovenian peaks, there are no longer any obstacles for spending time outdoors. While you can enjoy the fresh air in the mountains, the sea, lakes and rivers provide possibilities for many refreshing sports challenges. Green forests offer pleasant shade perfect for a walk.

Autumn is ideal for those who prefer to be active in the slightly cooler months. Cycling through the vineyards and hiking among the thousand shades of autumn colours are special experiences. In the underground world there is only one season and you can explore it any time.
