Alps to Adriatic - Slovenia Trail Running Holiday

Trail Running Holiday from the heart of the Julian Alps, Slovenia to the Mediterranean town of Piran by the Adriatic Sea. An amazing experience with enjoyable trails, local gourmet and untouched nature surpluses. It is a unique Slovenia Trail Running Adventure!

 

This beautiful destination - Slovenia - simply calls out for an exploration of the unknown and for a true running experience. In addition to beautiful and first-class running opportunities, Slovenia offers a truly "healthy" natural environment. Clean rivers, crystal clear alpine lakes and vast forested areas offer natural diversity, good quality air and drinking water at almost every corner. Runners are also offered delicious locally produced food and a varied culinary offer. The things that are nowadays more and more hard to find. At least basic infrastructure is provided almost at every step, which offers safe running movement even in remote areas.

 

Slovenia, with the wider area of the Julian Alps, Karst region and Adriatic Sea, offers all that trail runners are looking for. Welcome to trail running paradise!
