Venture into Slovenia’s untamed mountainous paradise, where you’ll get to conquer magnificent peaks and soak up the natural splendour that surrounds them – magnificent views and local wildlife included. Every tour is tailored to your specific wishes and abilities, presenting you with a unique opportunity to satisfy your adventurous spirit and reap the rewards of alpine exploration to the max. The mountains are calling, so let’s go!

Mount Triglav is spectacular. But it’s far from the only incredible summit the Slovenian mountains have to offer. If Triglav is the king of our Alps, then Škrlatica is definitely its queen and Jalovec a mighty prince, the well-deserved nickname for which is Crystal Mountain, the symbol of the Alpine Association of Slovenia. There are numerous marked and unmarked trails leading up these and many other impressive giants that are just begging to be explored.
So what exactly is the Off the Beaten Path tour all about?

It’s about discovering the hidden corners of our mountainous world you wouldn’t believe exist. It’s embarking on an adventure in the company of a professional mountain guide who will take you deep into the untamed wilderness where most tourists (and even locals) haven’t set foot. The tour is perfect for those who have already conquered Triglav and have returned to Slovenia hungry for more diverse alpine adventures. We lead you up remote mountain trails where you’re unlikely to bump into anyone and can therefore enjoy the journey in blissful solitude.

The tour can be entirely tailored to your needs and physical preparedness. From short hikes and easy ascends, to the most challenging climbs up demanding unmarked trails. You can opt for a one-day tour or multi-day excursions. Overnight stays in bivouac shelters only add to the fantastic adventure in these isolated, highly picturesque parts of the country. Given the bespoke nature of these tours, adapting to weather conditions comes with much greater flexibility, as does the choice of our hike’s starting point.

Whatever you do, don’t forget to check your memory card beforehand, because there will be ample opportunity to document breath-taking surroundings, indigenous wildlife (chamois, eagles, mountain goats…), beautiful alpine plants, and of course the unforgettable views from Slovenia’s most prized mountain peaks.

Things to know

Triglav is amongst the most popular mountains in Slovenia. It has a great symbolic value for us and the saying goes that you are not a true Slovenian until you stand on its summit. Therefore, you can expect a lot of people on the mountain in the high season (July-September), especially on weekends. On week-days, however, it is much more peaceful. Luckily, our guides have some tricks up their sleeves when it comes to avoiding the crowds. Hint: they know exactly when and where to go.

Thousands of people climb Mt.Triglav every year. Some come better prepared than others, who underestimate the climb, which can lead to accidents. But with the right approach, knowing the weather conditions (especially the possibility of thunderstorms and snowfall), with the proper safety equipment and an experienced guide, you can minimize the objective dangers and feel completely safe.

Mountain huts in the Slovenian mountains are very cosy and authentic, but provide only basic comfort. Don’t expect too much luxury. Early bookings are usually rewarded with a room but if all rooms are full there are dormitories. There is no shower and the lavatories are basic. There is running water but it is not drinkable. The food is tasty and local but the menu is limited to a few dishes and drinks.

The earlier the better. The highest season, from July to September, it is not unusual for huts to be fully booked for months ahead. Weekdays are better but we still suggest bookings at least a month in advance. Last-minute bookings are very dependable on the weather – if the forecast is not a perfect bluebird, then some spots usually become available a few days before.

It is important that your clothes are comfortable. You should have comfortable shoes with a good grip. It is recommended that you also have some warmer and windproof clothing with you as the temperature can drop or in case of cold wind. You can always leave excess clothes in the van after consulting with our guide.

In case of bad weather the tour can be postponed or you will be fully refunded.

The group size will vary on the tour we will choose. More difficult tours can have fewer people per guide.

Our tours are led by professional local guides. Our guides will make sure that you receive expert guiding combined with great fun and a memorable experience.

We can create and adjust a tour suitable for children of any age.
