Slovenia Backpack

Welcome to Slovenia!

Upon your arrival at Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport, your Alpenguides will be ready to warmly welcome you and introduce you to your fellow expedition members. Together, we will head to Bled where we’ll check into a cozy lakeside Penzion (guest house). After settling in, we’ll take a walk around Lake Bled to enjoy the stunning views. In the evening, we’ll gather for our first meal together.

Adventure on Lake Bled

After a good night's rest, we will have our first-morning yoga practice together before heading over to the shore of Lake Bled for kayaking in crystal-clear kayaks. As we paddle across the serene lake, we’ll have breathtaking views of Bled Castle towering above and the picturesque island with its iconic church. You’ll have plenty of time to snap photos and soak in the scenery.

In the afternoon, we’ll explore the charming town of Bled. You can stroll through the quaint streets, shop for local souvenirs, or relax by the lake with a coffee. After a day of adventure and exploration, we’ll return to our lodging to reflect and enjoy another delicious, fresh meal together.

Trekking in Triglav National Park

After breakfast, we’ll begin our three-day trek through the stunning Triglav National Park. Our first day takes us through the beautiful Seven Lakes Valley, where we’ll hike past clear alpine lakes and lush meadows, all while enjoying the mountain scenery. We’ll spend the night in a cozy mountain hut, soaking in the peaceful surroundings.

The next day, we’ll tackle the summit of Mt. Triglav, Slovenia’s highest peak, and achieve the mark of becoming true Slovenians. After reaching the top and enjoying panoramic views of the Alps, we’ll begin our descent, continuing to explore the park’s natural beauty. We’ll spend another night in a mountain hut, reflecting on our big day.

On our final day of trekking, we’ll venture through more of Triglav’s pristine landscape before returning to Bled. Over the course of our trek, we'll have covered over 20 miles of incredible landscape, and gained nearly 10,000 feet of elevation! After the trek, we’ll unwind by soaking in some hot springs, relaxing our muscles, and celebrating the amazing journey before enjoying a farewell dinner.

Time to Say Goodbye!

After sharing hugs and fond farewells with your new friends, you’ll head to Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport for your departure. You’ll leave Slovenia with unforgettable memories, a sense of accomplishment, and a deeper connection to the Alpengirl community.
