WHAT TO DO

If you love the great outdoors, you will simply fall in love with Alpine Slovenia! In addition to thousands of kilometres of mountaineering and hiking trails, as well as cycle routes through the forests and meadows, there are numerous rivers and lakes providing opportunities for relaxation or an adrenaline rush, further to which the snow-covered slopes of small yet well-tended winter resorts are much beloved by alpine ski champions. You can also soar - hopefully not like Icarus - amidst high mountains; then there is horse riding, a most excellent golf course as well as plenty of possibilities for hunting and fishing. And this is just the beginning! Check it out yourself.

If you aspire to more than just a beautiful view, you will be stirred by the stories and legends of Alpine Slovenia, of its ancient towns and unique churches. The rich cultural and natural heritage of Gorenjska may be explored by way of pilgrimage and thematic routes, and along the way you'll become familiar with time-honoured crafts and traditions, as well as some excellent cuisines and local delicacies. Take a bite.

In the midst of magnificent forests and alpine streams, experience health and wellbeing in the fresh air of a sunny mountain climate. In addition to magnificent nature, Gorenjska has a number of thermal spa resorts and wellness centres, and there are also casinos and vast choice of entertainment and events. A relaxing break in Alpine Slovenia invigorates both body and spirit.

Instead of just watching, you can also participate in various recreational activities and pursuits, as well as sports competitions. Gorenjska boasts a great many traditional cultural, ethnographic and entertainment events, and you can also satisfy your sporting passion at some world-class competitions. You'll always find plenty worth returning for, possibly in 2015, the year of the next Škofja Loka passion play.

Fairy-tale adventures for children, with many a new experience at hand. Family trips, workshops and other activities with your kids will convince you that Slovenia's Alps make an ideal destination for a family holiday.

Suitably equipped venues for business meetings and similar such events may be found in many places, but there are few in the world where the possibilities for relaxing in nature are just a single step away. A conference or business event in Slovenia's Alps offers you so much more.

Say "I do" in a natural milieu, in the romantic ambience of a castle or a 'legendary' venue high in the Alps. Stories from the past relate that marriages entered into in Gorenjska have an excellent chance of lasting longer!
