Description

Lake Bled set beneath the Julian Alps is prized by Slovenians for its stunning natural beauty.

The area including the town of Bled is a top Slovenian tourist destination. During the winter with ample snow there are many ski touring and snowshoeing options.

Truly a picturesque setting, the lake has a small island in the middle, a castle on a hill that overlooks the lake and then the Julian Alps in the backround.

There are plenty of trails weaving amongst the forests and mountains for the avid hiker and there is more than enough for multiple days if that is your preference.

On this 1+day of hiking you can explore the lakeside and take a dip, it reaches 25 degrees during the summer. In the winter it freezes over and we enjoy some ice skating!

You can visit the impressive medieval castle on the hill that overlooks the lake and has a drawbridge and moat surrounding it.

You can take a traditional flat-bottomed wooden boat and arrive at the lake’s island to ring the bell for good luck.

There are endless breathtaking vistas to enjoy that even the best painter could not recreate.

If your excited to visit Bled and get hiking around this wonderful landscape then sign up now and don’t miss out on this natural Slovenian beauty!

If you’d like to get up higher into the Julian Alps and also Triglav National Park then sign up to this great 1-4 days of hiking in the nature! Alternatively, if you like the cold then consider this half-day of snowshoeing in winter to experience the beauty that snow brings to Triglav National Park

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
