Our trip to the Julian Alps valleys is a way to walk in the Alps outside the main summer season. Spring and early summer, meaning May and June, are superb times to be out and about. Flowers can be abundant in meadows and on hillsides.

To make the most of these spring flowers, time your trip with us to match the International Wild Flower Festival run in the Bohinj area. This goes from 23 May to 6 June and is in its 3rd year. There will be tours, seminars, exhibitions and more. Ask us for more details and let us plan your trip.
