  • Scratch your explorer’s itch by going on a 6-day journey in Slovenia through the Julian Alps & Karawank Mountains. A super experienced guide will be joining you on these day hikes, making sure you don’t miss a single gem while you’re here. You’ll be based in the outdoor hub of Kranjska Gora and you’ll visit different mountain huts every day, giving you the chance to taste Slovenian delectable dishes and experience their hospitality. With a new show-stopping location and view every single day, you’ll never want this trip to end.
