From the Julian Alps to the Adriatic coast, this walking tour explores some of the most scenic and culturally rich corners of Slovenia and the Italian Dolomites, combining rewarding walks with time to relax and enjoy each destination. Begin in Ljubljana, a compact and welcoming capital where leafy parklands meet a lively riverfront and an attractive old town. From here, travel into the Julian Alps, where several days are spent walking through unspoilt mountain landscapes. Follow forest trails to waterfalls and gorges, walk high above glacial lakes, and take in sweeping alpine views around Lake Bohinj and Lake Bled. In the Soča Valley, known for its striking emerald river, walks combine natural beauty with visits to historic sites that tell the story of World War I in this dramatic setting.
Throughout the journey, there are regular opportunities to connect with local life. Enjoy traditional Slovenian cuisine, visit a local dairy for a cheese-making experience, and spend time in vineyard regions where gentle walks are paired with tastings of regional wines and produce. These moments add depth and variety to the walking programme, balancing activity with culture and a sense of place.
Crossing into Italy, the landscape becomes more rugged as you enter the Dolomites. Here, a series of moderate walks showcase some of the Alps' most iconic scenery, including Tre Cime di Lavaredo, Cinque Torri, and the turquoise waters of Lago di Braies.
The journey finishes on Slovenia's Adriatic coast, where the walks return to a slightly easier pace. Stay in the charming town of Piran and enjoy coastal walks with wide sea views, time to explore historic streets, and visits to the traditional salt pans that have shaped this landscape for centuries.
