Go with the flow

We love to take our groups to unexpected places, include surprises and leave space for you to just ‘be’ every day. Adventurous trips are at their best when we are flexible and open and every one of our trips has these characteristics built in.

But, of course there are always elements that you need to know beforehand, and so here is a list of our FAQ’s that should help you along the way, and make the right choices for your adventures.

FAQs

  • Because we are built around the ethos of making connections, shared experiences and celebrating the unexpected. We bring people together and build community in amazing places with our guests at the heart. We travel slowly, carefully and in partnership with the culture, communities and landscapes we are part of. When we teach skills, we match our pace and connect to each individuals needs and expectations and believe that fun and enjoyment comes from learning new things, embracing being a beginner and supporting one-another.

  • We believe that there are always adventures to be had, whatever the weather. We always have a plan b, which might mean changing our equipment, choosing an alternative route, or inviting you to enjoy a different location or activity. Our guides are all local experts and with flexibility built in, we are ready to share Slovenia with you whatever the weather.

  • Each trip includes a 'who's coming' section. Here we outline our recommendations for fitness, skill level and in some cases whether our trips are women-only. We try to launch at least 6 months in advance, to give you time to prepare. It may be that our trip offers some motivation to gain a little more hill fitness, ready for some big ascents and we will always be here to support and encourage you.

  • Most alpine huts or Koče as they are known in Slovenia will require you to bring your own sheet liner for sleeping (e.g silk) with blankets provided by the hut. Sleeping bags are not allowed.

  • Some do and some don't, we will always let you know in advance. At times you may need to pay for a hot shower, whereas cold showers are usually free.

  • In most locations you can pay with card, and for the majority of our trips you only need to pay for extras such as drinks and snacks. We recommend bringing a small amount of cash, especially for the huts, just in case the card systems are not working.

  • As with all alpine countries, our winters are changing. Above 1500M we often enjoy over 1m of snow, which is plenty for snowshoeing. However, snowshoes are simply the tools we use for winter hiking, and if there is less snow, we can enjoy incredible winter hikes, with slightly different equipment e.g we might lend you micro-spikes instead.

  • For alpine huts we will be in dormitory rooms that have always been privately booked for our groups. We try to split into male and female rooms, but in some cases we might all be sharing together depending on the location and group size.

    In the valley the rooms are usually twins or triples and will be separated by gender unless otherwise arranged or you are travelling together. At times we may stay in accommodation with larger rooms and this will always be stated in advance.

    All of our trips have the option for single room supplements, but these often do not apply to the alpine huts.

  • Each trip is slightly different, and you will always be sent a kit list in advance that is tailored to your itinerary.

  • We recently partnered with WeTravel for all our payments. For every trip there will be the option to pay in instalments, using your preferred payment method in your chosen currency.

    If you feel you need a little more flexibility with payment, you are welcome to get in touch to discuss your options.

  • All of our terms and conditions can be viewed on our Contact page. Just scroll to the bottom.

  • We believe that adventure is for everyone and that diversity is a powerful partner for adventurous experiences. These form our core values and are always at our heart.

    We welcome guests of all religions, races, genders, sexual orientations, countries of origin, ethnicities and abilities, not matter how we look, who we love, or where we come from.

    We encourage questions, respect answers and embrace active listening. We accept different perspectives and aim to learn and grow together.

    Some of our trips are for women only, and where this is the case, it will always be clearly stated. As a woman-powered business we believe that the demand and need for women-only adventures is an important one, increasing accessibility to our alpine environments, and for these trips you will always be joined by one of our female guides.
