When we think of snowfall, the last thing that usually springs to mind is to go hiking in the wilderness. Think again! By popping on a pair of snowshoes, we instantly transform the seemingly impassable terrain into an enjoyable wintery destination. Suddenly, we are no longer limited to marked hiking trails or boring gravel roads, but can venture across snowy meadows and enjoy the breath-taking views of the alpine wonderland that surrounds us. Not to mention how incredibly healthy it is!

There’s a reason why the process of walking in snowshoes is called “flotation”. Because floating on snow is exactly what it feels like. Our ancestors used to go on various wintertime expeditions using this reliable method of travelling, now it’s time to share it with the world. And what better place to go snowshoeing than in the heart of Slovenia’s Julian Alps. More precisely, across the magical Pokljuka Plateau.

Located in the Triglav National Park, Pokljuka is an all-year-round destination that offers a wide array of outdoor activities in the most pristine environment. In warmer months, Pokljuka is an excellent hiking destination and a base for mountaineering, but when winter descends, this beautiful forested plateau becomes a winter sports hub, famous for hosting the Biathlon World Cup. Besides its cross-country skiing trails, Pokljuka is perfect for a snowshoeing adventure.

Never been snowshoeing before? No worries! Our expert local guides will show you the ins and outs of how to tackle the various types of snowy terrain. You’ll soon find that mastering snowshoeing is super easy and suitable for everyone. Although the level of difficulty along the untrodden paths is generally low, more demanding routes can be taken, depending on your wishes and capabilities. Rest assured that snowshoeing with us is tailored to all ages and levels of fitness.

The tour is flexible due to snow conditions and the level of participants. It is possible to do an easy or intermediate tour. The area of Pokljuka offers us endless possibilities.

It is important that your clothes are comfortable. Depending on snow conditions, it can be wet, so water resistant clothes are recommended. High water resistant hiking shoes are best. Snow gaiters help preventing snow getting in your shoes. You can always leave excess clothes in the van after consulting with our guide.

The tour is flexible and an alternative location can be suggested. If there are no snow or the weather is not good enough for the tour, it can be postponed or you will be fully refunded.

We believe that your experience will be better in smaller groups. Therefore, there will be a maximum of 8 guests per guide.

The tour is flexible and it can be adjusted to your preferences, skills and fitness. Anyone can join.

All our tours are guided with a professional local guides that will make sure that you will have great fun.

Children are also welcomed on the tour, since it can be adjusted to any level.

Bring enough water, some snacks and sunscreen or other sun protection. Also bring trekking poles if you have them.

First off: the hike of approximately 1 hour to the cave can be quite intense. However, we train jiu jitsu daily which has quite some cardio, and for us it was very doable. The hike was fun and had a few very nice viewpoints. After the hike, our amazing guide Anže gave us a good training on how to use the caving/climbing gear to go down steep/vertical slopes and back up. After getting ready, which took about 45 mins, we went into the cave. The cave itself is very large, and had some really nice features of which Anže was very knowledgeable and was able to explain a lot of details. After walking through the cave for a while (15-30 mins?) we arrived at the best part: an abyss of 40m straight down. This was an amazing experience, which was thrilling yet felt very safe. Even my wife, who has fear of heights, enjoyed the experience. She was scared/frozen for a bit, but Anže calmed her down, after which she was able to go all the way to the bottom and enjoyed it a lot! After the descent into the abyss, we climbed back up via another path, and experienced some more amazing parts of the cave. About 3 hours into the trip (including hike and preparation) we exited the cave and hiked back down to our starting point. This took another 30 mins I think. All in all, around 4 hours total for our trip. The experience was really unique, felt safe, but still got the adrenaline pumping!! Both of us agree: 10/10 would do again!

We took the 4-hour "City Bike Tour Ljubljana" with our guide, Andrej. Andrej was fabulous: filled with informative, historical, and humorous details. The ride allowed us to see many parts of Ljubljana in a short time, and Andrej tied it all together. The ride was not too difficult (we are seniors). The lunch stop was perfect (Slovenian charcuterie, plus a pour of local wine): enough to eat, water to drink, and a convenient WC. We recommend this tour (and Andrej) without reservation. We could not hope for a better experience.

This was a truly amazing experience! We really enjoyed our beautiful Seven Lakes Valley hike with an overnight stay at a mountain hut. The alpine scenery of mountains throughout the hike was simply stunning especially the crystal clear emerald lakes, which are absolutely breathtaking! The cosy mountain hut was a lifesaver after a long day’s hike, dinner was hearty and delicious, atmosphere was lively and the beds were warm and comfortable - overall a great experience! What made it all the more enjoyable was being in the safe hands of our brilliant guide, Klemen who was not only very experienced, professional and knowledgeable, but he was also extremely helpful and accommodating. He went out of his way to take care of our needs during the journey. From the start, he was very responsive and proactive in helping us arrange our itinerary in the best way possible to maximise our time there. We also did a private rock climbing session with him after the hike and it was awesome! We definitely enjoyed our time in Slovenia with him and highly recommend going with this company and a private guide like him if you are looking for a customised trip.
