Mountains

Julian Alps

Once you reach the top, time stops. Here, mountains rise over 2500 metres, thus making the Julian Alps the highest mountain range in Slovenia. At 2864 metres, Mt. Triglav is the highest mountain in Slovenia. A network of paths leads to the high mountain peaks, crossing glacier-carved valleys, precipitous rock walls and forest plateaus. If you cannot decide which path to take, go for a hike along the 300 km long-distance trail of the Julian Alps and explore the natural and cultural heritage of the entire area. Most of the Julian Alps lie in Triglav National Park. 

Explore

The Karavanke Alps

Explore the natural beauties of the Karavanke Alps, the longest Slovenian mountain range. Numerous trails lead you to panoramic mountain tops, mountain pastures, valleys, and gorges. On the way, take a look at waterfalls, diverse plant and animal species, rich nature, and preserved cultural heritage. Here, marvel at the natural wonder of daffodils on Mt. Golica, which are so lush and dense when they bloom in the spring that they almost seem like a covering of snow.

Exlore

From the kitchens of Slovenian mountain cabins

There are more than ten thousand km of marked mountain trails threaded throughout the dynamic landscape of Slovenia, and more than 150 mountain huts can be found along them. On weekends in particular, one can detect the aromas of typical Slovenian stews drifting from their kitchens. Many places offer locally typical delicacies. You might be offered žganci (mush) with sour milk if you visit mountain pastures where shepherds live.
