Slovenia is synonymous with slow travel – be it a gentle walk or a long hike, time spent rejuvenating at an outdoor yoga retreat, or unwinding at one of its many spa resorts. The country is famed for its wellness, thanks to a longstanding tradition, where nature is both the setting and the spa itself.
“Slovenia is an outdoor paradise,” says Rok Zalokar, a mountain guide who grew up in, and still lives among, the Julian Alps in the north-west of the country. “There are so many gems to discover. The breathtaking landscapes invite us to move and activate our bodies – feeling your heartbeat in every part of your body gives an immense sense of being alive.”
