A hike in the Triglav National Park is a must-do when visiting Bled in the winter. This fun winter activity allows you to explore remote landscapes and easily conquer snow-covered slopes. With snowshoes, you will walk through deep and soft snow blankets and discover hidden places in the Julian Alps. It is easy and perfectly safe. Snowshoeing in Triglav national park is recommended for anyone who wants to experience a true winter alpine fairytale and spend quality time outdoors.
First, we will drive to the starting point of the tour. Your guide will discuss the best options for snowshoeing with you, depending on the snow conditions.
At the starting point of the snowshoeing Slovenia tour, you will get snowshoes and hiking poles. Snowshoes are meant for walking on a thicker snow blanket since the larger bottom surface prevents sinking deep into the snow, and metal cogs on the sides prevent slipping on more icy terrain. Hiking poles will help you when walking uphill and downhill.
The guide will teach you some basic techniques for hiking in snowshoes. This will help you to learn how to climb and descend on different terrains properly, how to walk in an arch or circle, and how to cross a slope. The guide will also ensure your safety along the trails covered in snow.
This outdoor activity is a great winter workout that gives a strong heartbeat and intense body strengthening. Discover the charms of Alpine nature in winter and join us on an unforgettable adventure as you glide silently through the snow in the fresh mountain air.

Yes. Just call us one day before the trip, so that we can prepare the equipment.
