Alpine Trails of Slovenia
This exploratory trail is a brand-new itinerary that hasn’t been ridden by SaddleTravel clients before. It’s offered at a reduced price because it hasn’t yet been fully tested and reviewed in the same way as our established rides. While the riding, accommodation, and logistics have been carefully planned by the local team, there may be small changes or adjustments along the way.
This destination is in the heart of Slovenia at Pule Equestrian Estate, a 17th-century countryside retreat in the rolling hills of Dolenjska, a celebrated wine region. This short break includes four riding sessions where you’ll ride through forests, vineyards, and meadows. Accommodation is in elegant suites with fireplaces and terraces, and the food is all prepared on site, a masterclass in farm-to-table dining paired with local wines. All riding abilities can be accommodated here making it ideal for couples or friends of mixed ability.
Expert local guides lead small groups and share their knowledge of the region’s culture and wildlife, while hand-picked accommodation combines rustic comfort with warm Slovenian hospitality, from cosy alpine chalets to elegant country estates. With direct flights from many UK and European cities to Ljubljana, Slovenia is closer than you think. Book your riding holiday in Slovenia today and explore one of Europe’s most enchanting destinations from the best seat in the house – the saddle.
