This was a fantastic trip! I booked Stunning Slovenia, which went to all the best places of Slovenia and included trips east of Ljubljana, which I was interested in seeing. I wanted to see the whole country, hahah! Communication was fantastic, the itinerary was sent and easy to follow, my airport transfers were always perfectly on time, and guides were fantastic. The walking tour of Ljubljana was a great intro and easy on the first day and I was left with tons of time to do things on my own. The highlight of my tour was actually my guide, Dejan, he was just the best. We had rain in the beginning and the next day it was clear so he took me back to a beautiful overlook and wine garden to take pictures again, and really went above and beyond to show me the gorgeous highlights of such a stunning place. Thank you D!!!

It was a great trip to a lovely country. We really enjoyed the walking in beautiful scenery. Another day in Bohinj could also be a possibility as we'd like to have done a cycle trip too.

Best tour companies for Slovenia tours
From what our travelers tell us, Intrepid really nails their Slovenia cycling tours. Their guides Davor and Tomi get lots of praise - they know the routes inside out and take good care of everyone on the road. The picture is a bit different with Palma DMC & To's "Stunning Slovenia" tour. While guides like Dejan and Ziga are clearly knowledgeable and the itinerary covers all the right spots, there are some practical issues that need work. The lack of porters has been tough for some groups, and seniors in particular found it challenging when their luggage had to be managed without help. The small van they use isn't ideal for larger groups and also caused some frustration. What's clear though is that Slovenia itself is a real gem. Our customers consistently tell us how much they love the warm welcome they get from locals, plus you get such variety - from mountain trails and lake views to charming old towns and coastal spots. It's still relatively quiet compared to some other European destinations, which adds to its appeal. The tour company you choose really makes a difference here - if you're looking at cycling specifically, Intrepid has proven they know what they're doing. Their support system and guide expertise help you focus on enjoying the ride rather than worrying about logistics.
Best places to start your Slovenia tour
Ljubljana works perfectly as the main jumping-off point for Slovenia trips, with 37 of our travelers starting there. Bled, right by the lake, is our second busiest departure spot with 24 starts, and Kranjska Gora welcomes 11 groups from its position at the Alps' doorstep. We've found that booking about 7 weeks ahead works well - our statistics show most people book around 48 days before travel, which helps them get the dates and places they want, especially in summer. The food scene really stands out to our clients, who love how Alpine and Mediterranean flavors come together in local dishes. They often mention the farm-fresh restaurants and small family wineries that make Slovenia's food culture so special. If you're looking for nice weather but fewer tourists, May and September hit that sweet spot - perfect timing to explore both the capital city and quiet mountain paths.

Best time to visit Slovenia
- Winter 2025 / 2026
Slovenia's winter opens up some excellent snowshoeing possibilities through the Julian Alps. Our clients tell us they love how these snowy walks hit the sweet spot between good exercise and taking in the mountain views. You'll walk across snow-covered plateaus to reach cozy mountain huts and learn to spot wildlife tracks in Kocevje's forests. The overnight stays up on Komna plateau are quite special - nothing beats the quiet of a mountain refuge above the snowline. Some tours mix things up with stops at Ljubljana's Christmas markets and local wine cellars before heading up into the mountains. If you're interested in culture too, winter tours often combine visits to Bled Castle with snowshoe walks around the frozen lake and trips to the Škocjan Caves, which stay at steady temperatures all year.

- Spring 2026
When spring arrives, the hiking really comes into its own as flowers pop up across the alpine meadows. Lake Bohinj makes an ideal base for daily walks, including routes to the impressive Savica Waterfall and through Mostnica Gorge. Our travelers say May hits the perfect balance - good hiking weather but quieter trails. Many routes mix walking with cultural stops in medieval towns like Skofja Loka and scenic train rides through the springtime countryside. The Alpe Adria Trail sections work particularly well in spring, with clear markers guiding you from Kranjska Gora through valleys full of flowers and into traditional villages.

- Summer 2026
Summer opens up all outdoor options, and our most popular tours mix different activities each day. You can cycle from Ljubljana through wine regions and along the Soca River, finding plenty of swimming spots along the way. Hiking hits full swing, ranging from easy valley walks to proper summit climbs up Mount Triglav. Our guests really enjoy the variety - maybe hiking in the morning then kayaking on Lake Bohinj or tasting wines in Brda later on. Summer's perfect for adding some coast to your mountain trip too, with routes ending in Piran where you can swim in the Adriatic and explore the old Venetian streets.

- Fall / Autumn 2026
Autumn brings perfect weather for both cycling and hiking across Slovenia. The Julian Alps trails quiet down but stay accessible, while the Brda wine region buzzes with grape harvest activity. September and October trips are particularly good - our customers love combining Lake Bled hikes with visits to local wineries. Several routes take advantage of autumn's clear light for photos, especially in the Soca Valley where fall colors pop against the green river. Cultural tours work really well in autumn too, mixing visits to Predjama Castle and Postojna Cave with seasonal food experiences in village communities.

How Easy Is It to Mix Slovenia With Other European Destinations?
You'll love how well-positioned Slovenia is for exploring multiple countries. Ljubljana's just 2.5 hours from Venice and under 4 hours from both Vienna and Zagreb making it super convenient. If you're flying in you can actually use Trieste airport in Italy for western Slovenia and there are direct trains running to Munich and Budapest. Lots of travelers combine Lake Bled with a trip to Salzburg in Austria or pair the gorgeous Slovenian coastal towns like Piran and Portorož with Croatia's Istrian peninsula.
What's The Best Way to Get Around Slovenia?
Slovenia's really manageable size-wise you can drive from Ljubljana to Piran in just 1.5 hours. The trains are great between major cities and the Bohinj railway line gives you amazing Alpine views along the way. If you're heading to mountain spots like Kranjska Gora or the Soča Valley renting a car gives you the most freedom just watch out for those 50 hairpin turns on the Vršič pass! The bus network's really reliable with hourly buses between Ljubljana and Lake Bled and you can even reach popular hiking spots like Vintgar Gorge using public transport.
Can You Tell Me About Unique Cultural Experiences?
Beyond the famous spots like Lipica Stud Farm and Kocbek Oil Mill you can really dive into local life here. Try your hand at making cheese in Bohinj learn about traditional beekeeping in Radovljica or join the grape harvest in Brda if you're here in September. There's this amazing theatrical tradition the Škofja Loka Passion Play that happens every six years and these cool wine cellars called osmice in the Karst region that open just 8 days at a time serving homemade wine and prosciutto. Don't miss the Open Kitchen food market in Ljubljana running Fridays from spring through fall it's the perfect showcase of regional foods.
Where Can I Go That's Less Touristy But Still Amazing?
While Lake Bohinj and Škofja Loka offer quieter alternatives you might want to check out medieval Štanjel in the Karst region or explore the beautiful wine hills of Jeruzalem. UNESCO-listed Idrija's fascinating with its mercury mining history and bobbin lace-making. The Logar Valley gives you incredible Alpine views without Bled's crowds and Velika Planina plateau still maintains its traditional shepherd culture. For something really off the beaten path the Kolpa River area's got pristine swimming spots and fantastic cycling routes.
What Slovenian Foods Should I Definitely Try?
Sure you've heard of kranjska klobasa sausage and potica cake but there's so much more! Try štruklji dumplings in Ljubljana's traditional spots or head to the Prekmurje region for their amazing layered pastry prekmurska gibanica. The Soča Valley's known for its incredible trout while the coast serves up delicious buzara-style mussels. Don't miss Idrija's žlikrofi potato dumplings or Bohinj's unique mohant cheese. Wine lovers should explore the natural wines of Vipava Valley and check out the world's oldest producing vine in Maribor. When you're in Ljubljana hit the Central Market especially in autumn when wild mushrooms are in season.
