Slovenia Winter Multi Activity (EDCVM)
Duration:
8 days (may vary)
Areas: Slovenia
Tour types: Nature & Wildlife, Winter Adventures
Description
The eastern extremity of the European Alps is formed by the remarkable Julian Alps, the main mountain area in Slovenia. This stunningly jagged limestone range has many similarities to the Italian Dolomites; not only is it home to some respectable downhill ski areas, but there is plenty of back-country wilderness terrain, such as the forested Pokljuka plateau. From the picture-postcard lakeside town of Bled with its cliff-top castle, we have access to an excellent variety of valleys and mountains to try out our range of exciting winter sports. During the week our charming Slovenian instructors and guides will teach us new activities and show us their favourite corners of this very special region.
