Karavanke Mountains: the natural border between Slovenia and Austria is a beautiful range of rollings hills and peaks, a perfect combination with the grandeur of the Julian Alps. Less trekked then the Julian Alps the Karavanke Mountains offers unique flora and fauna along routes where it’s possible to trek whole days without seeing another sole. Offering lovely views into neighboring Austria and stunning panoramas of the Julian Alps this range offers a relaxed trekking experience, green valleys, mountain pastures, flower filled meadows and an ‘away from it all’ feeling.

 

The Triglav National Park: Slovenia’s national park is an oasis of trekking tranquility. Containing the Julian Alps and bordering onto the coastal region trekking in the Triglav National park offers the chance to circle glacier lakes and overnight in lodges next to hidden valleys. Arich, lush area the national park’s rules and regulations ensures trekking is a traditional experience with the absence of wild camping areas and overnights whilst trekking takes in the traditional mountain lodges of the park

 

The Kamnik Alps: a small but perfectly formed range of towering peaks. The peaks are perfect for a more challenging trek as these remote and wild mountains offer experienced walkers and mountaineers something to get your teeth into. With slightly longer walk ins and longer distances to cover between lodges, the Kamnik Alps is a trekking experience that takes you away from the popularity of the Julian Alps but offers equal natural beauty with more of a challenge.
