Contract this tripWhy this trip
Slovenia is the best-kept secret in European adventure travel, and it is about to stop being a secret. Picture a lake with an island church in the middle and a castle on the cliff above it — then picture your group rowing across it in the morning and throwing themselves down a canyon in the afternoon. Nine distinct activities in six nights, from via ferrata to paragliding to one of the longest zip-lines in Europe, all inside a country you can drive across in three hours.

Who it suits
Adventure-first groups with a premium budget, and companies wanting a European trip that is not a city break.

Mike's take on Slovenia — the Julian Alps
Slovenia is the highest-adventure itinerary we run in Europe, and it delivers something Iceland does not: warm-weather activity, in the water and in the air, in a landscape that is every bit as dramatic. It sits at the top of our price range, which reflects both the volume of guided activity included and the specialist instruction several of these days require. For a group that wants to come home genuinely proud of what they did, there is no better week in Europe.
