Best Mountain Hikes in Slovenia

30 routes in Slovenia qualify, ranked below by how much walkers rate them. They average 10.2 km and 122 m (400 ft) of ascent, with the longest running to 35.0 km.

That is 4 percent of the 818 routes we map in Slovenia. They also climb less than the area average, 122 m (400 ft) against 272 m (892 ft), so they suit a recovery day or a group with mixed fitness.

Mountain routes trade effort for scale. Expect sustained climbing, quick weather changes and views that make the numbers worth it. The mix is broad: 16 are rated easy and 8 are hard or harder, so there is something here whether you have two hours or a full day.
