Hiking in Slovenia
A Symphony of Scenic Wonders
Slovenia, a haven for hikers, unfolds a symphony of scenic wonders. From lush woodlands to upland meadows and iconic hilltops reaching heights of nearly 2300m, every trail is a tapestry of natural beauty. Explore the Julian Alps, where each step narrates a story and every summit unveils panoramic vistas. Hiking in Slovenia is an enchanting journey, seamlessly blending adventure with awe-inspiring landscapes.
Trip Tips
Hiking Difficulty and Fitness Levels
Our hikes are moderately challenging, covering well-marked paths through woodlands, upland meadows, and hilltops up to nearly 1700m. While generally good, some paths may be steep due to our Julian Alps foothill location. To fully enjoy the hiking, be comfortable walking in hilly areas for about 6-7 hours daily, including rest stops. Hikes typically involve 600 to 1000 meters ascent, requiring steady uphill walking for several hours, followed by a relatively level descent. For those not used to day hikes in hilly terrain, ensure adequate fitness levels by incorporating aerobic exercise and hill walking into your preparations before the holiday.
Cycling Terrain, Skill Level, and Fitness
A balanced mix of surfaces, with approximately 50% gravel and 50% smooth asphalt. Suitable for both intermediate and novice riders with moderate fitness levels.

Reviews
WOW! HourAway far surpassed my expectations in every possible way! Nejc and Uroš catered our 14 day chick trip to turn our adventures into spectacular memories! As an avid mountain biker from Colorado, I was at first skeptical about Ebiking and after day one, I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way! Amazing biking, hiking, swimming and even rafting in picturesque scenery through the many diverse Slovenian regions, quaint accommodations, cultural culinary delights, schnapps, and much laughter with old and new friends truly filled my heart! This small, guided tour allowed for a personal and welcoming experience everywhere we went! 🇸🇮
Lisa Pike
We had the trip of a lifetime thanks to Nejc. He took us through a lot of Slovenia on bikes or hiking mountains. Slovenia is beautiful and we had a very personal experience. We were treated like family everywhere we went. Our accommodations couldn’t have been any better. Nejc was the best tour guide. He had everything planned out perfectly and then when weather didn’t permit what was planned he came up with another wonderful plan. Our trip was full of wonderful people, places and surprises! Thank you Nejc!
Kristy Barret
My one week of hiking and biking in Slovenia was absolutely amazing. Nejc went out of his way to accommodate the needs of our group. He took us to places that only the locals would know about. Slovenia is breathtaking, the people are delightful and it’s definitely a place I’d return to. The week was topped off with a local garden tour and culinary event. I’d highly recommend Hour Away.
Rowena List
HourAway provided attentive, responsive itineraries and accommodations for our group of six. We were biking, hiking, rafting, dining, drinking, and laughing the entire trip. With our guide’s inside connections we were able to talk to many creative and passionate Slovenians. We ate wonderful meals , slept well. Our daily adventures led us to stunning locations! We will be encouraging our family to join Nejc and HourAway as soon as they can!
Patricia Stolp
Just returned from the most fabulous holiday in Slovenia. A new destination for us & an absolute gem. Pristine clean, picture postcard perfect, friendly welcoming accommodation, people & great restaurants. Our trip was organised from start to finish by Nejc from HourAway as a e-bike & hike tour. The e-bikes were super & Nejc’s instruction gave our group the confidence to enjoy them from the start & push that little bit harder to fully enjoy the amazing views from high & sweeping downhills. We swam in lakes, rafted down a clear azure river & enjoyed local food & wine together in traditional restaurants & wineries in out-of-the-way places. This was all due to Nejc’s organisation & creativity devising our itinerary to fit within the number of days we had together. Above all we got to know Nejc & enjoy his company. He is so proud of his country & his enthusiasm for outdoor activities made the most of the scenery, mountains, rivers, villages & local culture. It is without doubt the perfect way to enjoy Slovenia. Go ahead & try it!
Lesley Cooper
Najc made us feel very welcomed to his country Slovenia. We experienced and learned the Slovenia culture while biking and hiking through the country. We were treated as family everywhere we went. The accommodations, hand picked by Nejc, were excellent. I would strongly recommend Hour Away Bike Tours to anyone who is traveling to Slovenia wanting to experience the country through the outdoors!!
Randy Stuckey
There are many fine characteristics of our Bike and Hike experience with Nejc including the flexibility of arrangements, the off the beaten track places, remoteness of nature and the care and attention of Nejc. The scenery of the mountains with snow was spectacular as were the forests and rivers. Our morning tea and lunch breaks at niche restaurants with their local delicacies made it special. Accommodation in small local hotels with engaging owners was another highlight. Highly recommended Phil and Marie 2025, Australia
