Have you been thinking about how to add a little more adventure in your life but not sure where to start?
Have you been yearning for a community of other adventurous women but don’t know where to find them?
Are you looking for a trip with a mix of European small city culture, paddling around a lake with a Medieval castle, a multi-day trek through gorgeous mountains staying in high mountain huts that serve wine and hot dinners?
Do you want to hike in stunning places like the Swiss Alps or Italian Dolomites but without the crowds or cost?
If you want a trip where all the logistics have been taken care of and you get to sit back and just enjoy the ride, this small group women’s trip to explore all the beauty Slovenia has to offer is waiting for YOU!!
Why Slovenia?
Nestled between the Alps and the Adriatic Sea, Slovenia is a jewel-box country where emerald rivers wind through pristine forests and charming medieval towns dot the landscape beneath snow-capped peaks. This underrated spot might not be at the top of many bucket lists but it should be!
The Julian Alps rival the Italian Dolomites or Swiss Alps in beauty with stunning sweeping landscapes, alpine lakes and high mountain huts but without the popularity or price tag that accompanies fame.
With towns that blend Venetian architecture with Slavic charm, this hidden European gem packs an incredible diversity of experiences into a country the size of New Jersey, making it perfect for travelers who want to avoid tourist crowds while experiencing the perfect blend of outdoor adventure, cultural authenticity, and modern European comfort.

Our Itinerary
Aug 16th- Arrive in Ljubljana and transfer to our hotel in the pedestrian center. We will enjoy our first dinner together to kick off our trip
Aug 17th - We will spend the day exploring the charming city of Ljubljana, take a funicular to get a view of the city from above and tour the Ljubljana castle
Aug 18th - After transferring to Lake Bled (about 1 hour drive) where we will relax, paddle around Lake Bled, visit the 15th century Medieval castle in the center of the lake, tour Bled Castle and prepare ourselves to start our 4 day trek
Aug 19th - We will be picked up by our mountain guide and transfer to Triglav National Park.Initially, the forest path will take us through wild forests to charming alpine pastures with livestock. Further on, the gravel trail leads over mountain passes with great views over alpine valleys enclosed by high mountain walls, from which sharp summits pierce the sky.10 km / elevation +1000 m, -300 m / approx. 6 hours
Aug 20th - As the second day of our trek begins, we will hike a gently descending path through the Velo Polje alpine pasture, where you can taste fresh cheese. The summits encircle a stunning alpine valley, from where on you’ll walk over rocks and gravel on barren alpine terrain, where edelweiss flowers or a group of alpine ibexes are likely to be seen. From the ‘lunar surface’ of the Hribarice Plateau climb to the highest point of the trip, Mt. Kanjavec, and descend down through the Valley of the Seven Triglav Lakes with beautiful yet small lakes, named after Triglav. 12 km / elevation gain +700 m, -750 m / approx. 7 hours
Aug 21st - Leave the highest peaks of the Julian Alps and enjoy the green meadows and forests of the alpine karst plateau of Komna. The route to your next overnight location is rather short, which makes for an ideal opportunity for a more leisurely day or longer hiking trip with a variety of different detours to nearby summits and lookouts. Most of this day’s trails are rarely hiked so we might have the whole mountain for ourselves. 8 – 17 km / elevation +350 to 700 m, -500 to 800 m / approx. 3-7 hours
Aug 22nd - On the last day of the Triglav National Park Adventure you’ll traverse the mountains south of Lake Bohinj and admire the panoramic view of the Central Julian Alps. Treat yourself to a home-made apple strudel at an alpine farm and take the cable car from one of Slovenia’s highest ski resorts to the Bohinj valley. It’s where our hiking adventure ends, on the shore of Lake Bohinj with a refreshing swim in crystal clear waters. 14 km / elevation +700 m, -700 m / approx. 6 hours
We will spend the night in Bohinj at a lovely scenic hotel
Aug 23rd - We have a day around Bohinj to boat on Lake Bohinj, take a dip, rest, shop, or we can check out Savica waterfall if you aren’t completely hiked-out. We will transfer back to Ljubljana for our last night in the pedestrian center of Slovenia’s capital.
Aug 24th - After breakfast we will return to the Ljubljana airport to head home (or maybe take the train to Venice, Zagreb or Vienna) and start planning our next adventure together

How do I get to Slovenia?
You can fly into Ljubljana international airport. Transportation from the Ljubljana airport to our hotel will be arranged in advance but we are staying in a pedestrian area and will need to carry our luggage a few blocks from the taxi to our accommodations.

Do I need to be in great shape?
This trip is a mix of cultural sightseeing and hiking. You should have a baseline of physical fitness and be prepared to hike 7 miles a day a few days in a row for the trekking portion of the trip. We will be able to take it slow throughout the hiking days with plenty of time to rest, snack and take pictures. We will have a few days to explore Slovenia before and after our trek that don’t involve hiking but will include city walking. Trekking poles will be available to rent from our guide company for assistance.
What if I sign up now and can’t come?
Things happen all the time, I get it. While I can not offer immediate refunds or cancelations, I will make every effort to resell your spot on the trip and refund you as soon as the spot is filled by someone else. If unforeseen circumstances arise and the trip needs to be canceled, I will issue refunds, reschedule the trip for later in 2025 or 2026.
Do I have to pay all at once?
Nope! All that is necessary to secure your spot is a $500 deposit. The balance will be due by July 1st, 2025. You are welcome to pay the balance in installments or all at once.
Do I need to book with a friend or can I come by myself?
Not at all! That is one of the awesome benefits to joining a group trip like this: the opportunity to make new friends! You are welcome to book with a friend if you the stars align and you both want in on this trip but it isn’t necessary. If you and a friend or two want to book together, that is also excellent!
I can’t make this trip, when is the next one?
I am working on it! I would love to host a handful of trips a year for adventurous women and I am actively plotting one cozy fall retreat and a few more for the spring and summer of 2025. Let me know where you want to go and what you want to do on a My Adventure Girl Gang trip! Send me a message with your suggestions and requests so I can start planning. Don’t forget to sign up for my email list to be the first ones notified when a trip launches.
