Kranjska Gora, Slovenia
A charming mountain resort town nestled at the foot of the Julian Alps, perfect as a base for acclimatising. Explore the Vršič Pass — the highest mountain pass in Slovenia — and fuel up on local žlikrofi (stuffed pasta) before heading into the hills.

Triglav National Park, Slovenia
Home to Mount Triglav (2,864 m), Slovenia's highest peak and a national symbol — reaching its summit is considered a rite of passage for Slovenes. The classic two-day ascent via the Kredarica mountain hut is manageable for fit hikers with proper gear. The Soča Valley nearby offers stunning turquoise river scenery and excellent trout fishing.
-
Bled, Slovenia
End your alpine journey at postcard-perfect Lake Bled, crowned by a medieval clifftop castle and a tiny island church. Don't leave without trying the famous Bled cream cake (kremšnita) at the Park Hotel. It's an easy 40-minute drive from the Triglav area and a wonderful way to wind down after the mountains.
