Hiking and Yoga in the Julian Alps of Slovenia. Come join us for three nights and three days of walking and yoga in the beautiful Trenta Valley. This tailor-made experience will give you three full days of walking and exploring in this stunning mountain area with its majestic mountains, vast forests, colourful meadows and crystal clears rivers and lakes. The last evening we will head back to Ljubljana to spend time expoloring this beautiful city.

The proposed agenda is for the Dames to arrive at Ljubljana airport mid afternoon where our guide, Alenka, will be waiting with the minibus ready to drive you to your chalet where we will be waiting. Your home for the weekend will be near the town of Tolmin in the Trenta Valley through which the startling blue Soča river runs. After tea you will have time to unpack, relax and check out the chalet before drinks on the terrace before dinner. Dinner will be served about 7.30pm-8pm.

In the morning, after our breakfast of homemade bread, pastries, yogurt and fruit, we will head out with Alenka to explore the beauty of the local area. Our hikes will take us along the Soča river and up the steep mountain slopes to high ridges and breath-taking alpine meadows.

Along the way we will take the time to learn about this history-rich country from our guide and others we may chance to meet. 

Each hike will be tailored to the fitness of the group but will average  6hrs and 10- 15km with an ascent of up to 800m a day.  

On our return, and after a much-needed cup of tea and cake, there will be a yoga session in the garden with our Joly Dames yogi. Later, a delicious three-course dinner will be served in the dining room.

On the last evening we will head back to Ljubljana to our little boutique hotel in the heart of the city. There, on the last evening, we will enjoy dinner in a local restaurant. On the final morning, depending on individuals’ flight times, we will explore this delightful baroque city with its maze of small streets, shops, galleries and cafés. There will be the option of a tour with a qualified guide who will show us the highlights of Ljubljana old town.

Transport at a set time will be arranged to take the Dames back to the airport.
