Fields of crocuses, fresh mountain air, and landscapes slowly coming back to life. In the alpine regions, this is one of the first clear signs that winter is slowly ending.

A quieter time to experience Slovenia, with fewer crowds and nature at its best.

Kotor is often planned as a short stop, but many end up spending more time here. The old town is compact, easy to walk and is a mix of narrow streets, quiet corners, and beautiful local spots.

A few things worth knowing:

📍 It is a part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site
📍 Cats are everywhere and have become a symbol of the town
📍 The city walls go high up into the mountains above Kotor
📍 There are around 1,300 steps to reach the fortress viewpoint
📍 The famous Our Lady of the Rocks, a man made island built by local sailors, is located about 20 minutes from Kotor by boat

Kotor is simple to explore and fits well into most Balkan routes.

Is this the kind of stop you look for when traveling?

Did you know Slovenia is home to one of the world’s top ski jumping venues?⛷️🇸🇮

In Planica, ski jumping goes to another level. This is where some of the longest jumps in the world happen. And it all starts tomorrow.

For Slovenians, this is more than just a competition. It’s one of the most important and celebrated sporting events of the year.

📍 Planica has one of the largest ski jumping hills globally
📍 Speeds reach over 100 km per hour
📍 Jumps beyond 240 meters

Beyond the records, Planica is known for its atmosphere. Thousands of fans, flags, and a shared excitement that builds with every jump.

It’s a great example of how Slovenia combines nature, sport and local energy in one place.

Would you add this to your Slovenia wish list?

Do you enjoy hiking and climbing and plan to visit the Balkan region soon? Here is a challenge to add to your itinerary!

Climb the highest peak in four different Balkan countries and see how much the scenery, terrain, and atmosphere change from border to border.

Slovenia – Mount Triglav (2,864 m)
More than just the highest peak, Triglav is a national symbol. The final section requires a secured via ferrata climb, adding a more technical element to the ascent.

Croatia – Dinara (1,831 m)
Forget the coastline for a moment. Dinara is rocky, exposed, and surprisingly wild, with beautiful views that show a completely different side of Croatia.

Bosnia and Herzegovina – Maglić (2,386 m)
Located in Sutjeska National Park, this climb rewards you with views over glacial Trnovačko Lake and one of Europe’s last primeval forests.

Montenegro – Zla Kolata (2,534 m)
Part of the Prokletije mountain range, this summit stands out for its steep terrain, rocky ridges, and a more demanding alpine ascent.

Four peaks, four completely different experiences. Where would you begin?

Budva, Montenegro does not fit into just one category!

Here are a few details that give Budva its character:

- Budva is more than 2,500 years old, making it one of the oldest settlements on the Adriatic coast.

- The entire Old Town is enclosed by medieval walls that you can walk, with open views over the sea and the rooftops.

- The famous Mogren Beach is connected to the Old Town by a narrow coastal path carved into the cliffs.

- Sveti Nikola Island, often called “Hawaii” by locals, sits directly across from Budva and is reachable by boat in minutes.

Have you ever heard of Pust?

If you are traveling in Slovenia in February, you may notice colorful masks, ringing bells, and lively streets. This is Pust, the country’s traditional carnival season.

Some fun facts:

- Pust traditions come from old folk beliefs. Loud bells, masks, and parades were meant to scare off winter and invite spring.

- The most famous Pust characters are the Kurenti from the Ptuj region. With sheepskin outfits, horns, and cowbells, they are one of Slovenia’s most recognizable cultural symbols and even protected by UNESCO.

- During Pust, Slovenians eat a lot of krofi - donuts filled with jam.

- From kindergartens to offices, dressing up is part of the fun. Costumes range from traditional masks to creative modern themes.

Would you plan a trip around a local festival like this?

Kranjska Gora is a small town with a big personality!

It is mostly known as a winter destination, but it offers plenty of surprises year-round. A few fun facts you might not know:

- It sits right at the crossroads of three countries: Slovenia, Austria and Italy.

- In summer, the ski slopes turn into hiking and cycling routes with incredible views.

- the name of the lake Jasna translates to clear in Slovenian, a fitting description for the lake’s striking green and blue colours and exceptional clarity.

- it is a part of Triglav National Park’s wider alpine ecosystem, which helps preserve its landscapes and limits overdevelopment.

Kranjska Gora is a place that works in every season. Is it already on your list?

As we wrap up this year, we’ve been reflecting on what today’s travelers truly value.

More than ever, they’re asking for less rush and noise and more time to breathe. Fewer hotel changes. More nature and movement. Local, slow meals. Places that feel real, not just another social media photo stop.

We are sharing our new blog on how group travel can feel less rushed and more rewarding. It’s about building itineraries that include more fresh air and quieter locations and how having someone on the ground helps make it all run smoothly.
