Frost swirls across Lake Bohinj as the minivan doors slide open and the Alps breathe cold into the day. The forest exhales a hush. Snow loads the spruce boughs, the trails grip with ice, and somewhere ahead a waterfall beats a steady pulse behind its glassy armor. On the 7 Alpine Wonders: Winter Edition, Slovenia’s north shows off in crisp air and clean light, where every bend seems to dare you to look longer.

Adventure Tips
Traction matters
Microspikes are provided when needed, but wear waterproof, insulated hiking boots with good tread for icy stairs and packed snow.
Layer like a local
Temperatures swing between shaded gorges and sunny plateaus—pack breathable base layers, a warm midlayer, and a windproof shell.
Hydrate and snack smart
Carry at least 1 liter of water and pocket snacks; lunch is included, but short hikes and cold air burn energy quickly.
Respect fragile ice
Icicles and frozen curtains can break easily—stay on marked paths and avoid standing beneath overhangs in the gorge.

History
Triglav National Park protects Slovenia’s highest peak and a century-old alpine culture shaped by shepherding, forestry, and mountaineering. Pokljuka doubles as a biathlon hub, where post–World War I foresters helped carve today’s trails.
Conservation
Stay on marked paths to protect fragile wetlands at Zelenci and wintering wildlife in Martuljek’s gorge. Pack out all waste—snow hides litter now but reveals it come spring.
