Velika planina Sheperd’s Hike

Tour programme

When we think of a life full of laughter and free of stress, we think to those people who were most connected to nature. Slovenia’s shepherds definitely fit into that category - and their centuries old traditions are today available to you.

Our hike will start with a gondola lift from Kamniška Bistrica. From there, the paths will take us up grassy hills, where we will get to see an authentic shepherd village while taking in the breathtaking views of the Alps.

The tour is easy and flexible, suitable for beginners, families, and children.
