Family activity holiday in Slovenia
This is a 'small group family adventure' - typically you will join several other families and travel in a group of approx. 16 people. The trips are great value and a great way for you and your children to meet new people! While itineraries are pre-planned there is some flexibility and you'll have plenty of time to yourselves. Most adventure kids tend to be aged between 7 and 15, but some are younger (minimum age is usually 5) and some older (perhaps travelling as part of a larger family group). Please check with the operator to confirm the minimum age for this trip
How this holiday makes a difference
Environment
This lovely and unspoilt part of Europe is not on the traveller's top list of places to visit yet so by using a local agency, we are fully aware that respecting environment, avoiding mass tourism and integrating local businesses and guides is the way to keep it as it is.
Ecological awareness is always present in this fragile and clean environment. For the last ten years we have organised, at the end of March, together with the local community a cleaning action which already extends beyond just local borders and involves many eco associations throughout Slovenia. We clean the river Soca and its banks and clean and restore the local tourist and trekking paths. We always share this awareness with our clients throughout the year and always pick up any rubbish if seen during their trip. We recycle when and wherever possible and encourage our clients to do the same on their own initiative which has a positive impact for everyone.
Community
Almost all our guides and qualified sports enthusiasts on our Family activity holiday in Slovenia are local. They are well trained and above all friendly and helpful. Our philosophy has always been that, next to the destination, a genuine human touch is what makes a fantastic holiday.
The Tolmin valley area, as with the rest of Slovenia, has always been in a crossroads, so each nation has left its mark on our history; language, cuisine, you name it! Throughout our trips we discover local customs, food such as ‘Frika’ or remains of the two World Wars, which left a huge impact in this area.
Only local accommodation providers are used on our family activity holiday in Slovenia who employ local staff in all areas. The fact that hotel Krn is the only one in town, helps to keep tourism on a small and sustainable scale. They serve local goods such as spirits there. Recycling is essential wherever possible, too. All the private accommodations serve local delicacies such as Tolmin cheese and Bear blood spirit. This helps to contribute to the local economy by selling products, otherwise cut away from commercial outlet. All transfer services are local as well.
