Overview

 

The Julian Alps, most eastern extension of the Alpine Range, stretching from North-East Italy into Slovenia through Triglav National Park are mysterious and perfect for hiking experiences in unspoiled nature.

The dramatic limestone peaks drop steeply through forests to flower meadows, and will give you a feast for the eyes no matter which direction you turn.

Our hiking tour will start in the alpine pearl of Kranjska Gora, Ski World Cup center, continuing towards the world famous Ski Fly area – Planica and Tamar.
