Slovenia - Family Multi Activity - Family adventure Trip

1 ½ weeks: UK to Ljubljana (SFMA)

For the second year in a row, this holiday achieved the highest “Overall Holiday Rating” in our client questionnaires with an amazing average score of 97.25%. It’s no surprise to us, we love Slovenia’s mountains and rivers. But it’s not just the stunning scenery and outstanding activities that make this a “must do” destination. Best of all is the genuine warmth of the Slovenian people. Great place, great people, great holiday!

Accommodation

The 3-star Hotel Krn is conveniently located in the very heart of Tolmin. Tolmin combines an old quarter with a functional new town providing all the services you will need including car hire, currency exchange, shops, bars, restaurants and a small daily market. The real beauty of the town is that it is almost entirely encircled by mountains and perfectly situated for easy access to all the activities.

The Hotel Krn is a family run establishment and offers the warmest of Slovenian welcomes. It has 48 comfortably furnished en-suite rooms (twins, triples and larger family rooms) on three floors. The bar is a popular meeting point for locals and visitors alike and the restaurant serves good food from the a la carte menu. The terrace is a lovely place to relax with an ice cream after an active day and the small first floor games room generally keeps the children happily occupied.

Itineraries

Sunday

Arrival and Night Canoeing


We transfer from Ljubljana Airport to our hotel in Tolmin where we host an introductory dinner. As darkness begins to descend we take to a gentle stretch of the River Soca in inflatable canoes to view the spectacular Slovenian night sky - the perfect introduction.

Monday

Exploration Trek


Our trek (approx 6 miles) into the stunning pastures of the Polog Valley is the perfect opportunity to get to know the other families on the holiday. You will visit a WW1 bunker, cross the river on a gondola bridge and we throw in plenty of fun and games to keep even the most reluctant child hiker happy. Picnic included.

Tuesday

Canyoning


An exhilarating canyoning excursion starts with an uphill walk through silent and secluded Trebusa Canyon. Our descent commences with some slides down gentle rapids and small water funnels before encountering some much tougher obstacles downstream. Best of all is a rope assisted descent of a 27 metre waterfall.
