  • Day 1

    Arrival in Bled

    Take a 45-minute shuttle from Ljubljana Airport to Lake Bled. Book your transfer ahead of time to avoid expensive taxi fares. Spend your first afternoon walking the 6km loop around the glacial lake. You'll find a well-marked path with great views of Bled Castle and the Julian Alps.

    
  • Day 2

    Biking Around Bled

    Get an early start with a guided mountain bike tour through Bled's countryside. The morning trails are quieter and cooler. A recent visitor shared: "The trails around Bled offer the perfect mix of challenge and scenery - bring a camera for those postcard-perfect lake views from higher vantage points." Keep your bike for the afternoon to visit spots like Vintgar Gorge just 7km from Bled.

    
  • Day 3

    Julian Alps Hiking

    Spend a full day hiking in Triglav National Park. The moderate trek takes 6-7 hours round trip to reach one of the accessible peaks. The mountain weather changes quickly so bring layers. Stop for lunch at a mountain hut and try their jota (bean soup) for about $15. The trails can be rocky so wear boots with good ankle support.

    
  • Day 4

    Canyoning and Rafting

    Take a 1.5-hour transfer to Log pod Mangartom for canyoning in Fratarica Canyon. The water stays cold even in summer so you'll need the wetsuit they provide. After lunch go rafting on the emerald Soča River near Bovec. You'll get safety training before tackling the grade III-IV rapids for 2.5 hours. The drive back through Vršič Pass takes about 2 hours with photo stops.

    
  • Day 5

    Via Ferrata Climbing

    Head to Gozd Martuljek for via ferrata climbing. You'll follow steel cables through a dramatic gorge. No experience needed but you should be reasonably fit. One climber said: "The via ferrata was challenging but totally manageable with the guide's help. The views of the waterfall made every step worth it."

    
  • Day 6

    Rock Climbing

    Take the morning to explore Bled Castle or visit the island church by pletna boat. In the afternoon go rock climbing at Bohinjska Bela just 15 minutes from Bled. The limestone walls work for all skill levels with routes from 5a to 7c. They provide equipment but wear comfortable clothes you can move in.

  • Day 7

    Departure

    Have breakfast before heading out. If you have a later flight take a 45-minute uphill walk to Ojstrica viewpoint for final Lake Bled photos. Airport shuttles start running at 4 AM but book at least a day ahead.

  • Days 1-2

    Ljubljana

    Begin your Slovenia journey in the inviting capital. Take an evening walk through the historic center on your first day. The riverside walks are beautiful as the sun sets.

  • Day 3

    Ljubljana to Portorož

    Take a 2-hour trip to Slovenia's coastal region. Visit Piran first, where Italian influences shine through in the Venetian buildings and winding streets. Continue to the seaside town of Portorož. Spend time walking the waterfront while enjoying an ice cream and watching the world go by.

    
  • Day 4

    Trieste Day Trip

    Take a 90-minute drive into Italy to discover Trieste's mix of Habsburg grandeur and Mediterranean style. Try the local "caffè triestino" at one of the old-world cafes. Visit Miramare Castle overlooking the Gulf of Trieste. On your way back stop in Slovenia's Brda wine region to sample their famous Rebula wines among the hillside vineyards.

    
  • Day 5

    Postojna Cave and Lake Bled

    Start your day at Postojna Cave, just 30-45 minutes from the coast. The cave train makes exploring easy but bring good shoes as the limestone paths can be slick. Head to Lake Bled for the afternoon. Take the 6km lakeside walk for great views of the island church. Start from the western shore to avoid the busiest sections.

    
  • Day 6

    Lake Bohinj

    Travel 30 minutes from Bled to the quieter Lake Bohinj. Swim in the clear alpine waters or explore Triglav National Park. Try the Mostnica Gorge trail for a nice 2-hour hike with waterfall views. If you're looking for excitement the area offers zip-lining with spectacular Julian Alps views.

    
  • Day 7

    Return to Ljubljana

    The 90-minute drive back to Ljubljana offers final views of the mountains. Schedule flights after 2 PM to avoid morning traffic stress.

  • Day 1

    Bled

    Begin your Julian Alps adventure in Bled. Take it easy with a 2.5-hour walk to Vintgar Gorge to warm up your legs. A recent trekker shared: "The organisation and communication was smooth, with a detailed in-person briefing that really set us up well for the self-guided journey ahead." Rest well at your Bled hotel before tomorrow's climb.

    
  • Day 2

    Pokljuka Plateau to Vodnik Mountain Hut

    Take a transfer to Pokljuka plateau (1,347m). The 12km trail to Vodnik Hut climbs 520m over 4-5 hours. You'll carry your gear between huts for the next 4 days so pack light. Follow the well-marked path for your first real taste of Julian Alps terrain. Sleep in basic dormitory-style rooms at Vodnik Hut (1,817m).

    
  • Day 3

    Vodnik Hut to Prehodavci Mountain Hut

    Choose between two routes: an easier 9km walk through Velska Valley or a more difficult path via Planika Hut with an optional climb up Mt. Triglav (2,864m). The basic route takes 5-6 hours with 800m elevation gain. For Triglav start early and bring via ferrata gear. The exposed sections need proper safety equipment.

    
  • Day 4

    Prehodavci to Bogatin Mountain Hut

    A challenging but beautiful 6-8 hour day through Triglav Lakes Valley. The 10km path includes 460m up and 900m down. Bring extra water for exposed sections that get hot in summer. The Seven Lakes Valley shows off some of the Julian Alps' most untouched mountain scenery.

    
  • Day 5

    Bogatin Hut to Krn Lakes Mountain Hut

    An easier day of 4-5 hours covering 13km mostly downhill (-600m). Pass by beautiful Krn Lake. Bring your camera but avoid swimming as the water stays ice-cold all year. Stay at the simple but comfortable Krn Lakes Mountain Hut at 1,385m.

    
  • Day 6

    Krn Lakes to Bovec

    The longest hiking day at 19km along the popular Soča Trail through Lepena and Soča valleys. Plan for 6-7 hours on this rolling route with 300m up and 550m down. The bright green Soča River offers great photos. Stay in a comfortable Bovec hotel.
