Accommodation

We do have partners for accommodation in the main travel regions of Slovenia. We have a good relationship with partners we work with. Thus we trust that your stay with them will be enjoyable. However we only book accommodation in combination with other tour requests either through fixed tours or in the personalised section.

Insurance

Safety is of paramount importance to Midgard Experience and we pride ourselves in our attention to detail regarding safety on all our tours and of the knowledge, experience and expertise of our guides and staff members. We do however strongly advise that all passengers have in place their own adequate travel insurance against issues such as illness, injury, loss or damage to personal belongings, and not being able to travel on the confirmed departure date.

For most of our trips to the mountains, you need to have personal insurance that covers you for ski mountaineering and the cover must include helicopter rescue. In this matter, we can recommend becoming a member of The Austrian Alpine Club as the world-wide insurance is included in the membership.

Location and Direction

Slovenia is located at the Eastern Alps border the Adriatic Sea between Austria and Croatia and also boarding Italy and Hungary. The distances are close from Ljubljana to some main point of interests in Europe such as:

  • 2-3h to Venice, Italy
  • 4h to Munich, Germany
  • 3h to the Dolomites, Italy
  • 1,5h to Zagreb, Croatia
  • 1h to Istria Peninsula, Croatia
  • 2-5h to the Dalmatian coastline, Croatia

Ljubljana international airport (LJU) is the main hub for Slovenia. While there are no regular overseas connection, it is well connected to all major airports across the Europe. However, sometimes it makes sense to check the connections to some other airports in vicinity:

  • Munich (MUC), Germany, approx. 4h drive to Slovenia
  • Vienna (VIE), Austria, approx 4h drive to Slovenia
  • Zagreb (ZAG), Croatia, approx 1h drive to Slovenia
  • Trieste (TRS), Italy, approx 1h drive to Slovenia
  • Venice (VCE), Italy, approx 2-3h drive to Slovenia

We are located in the small town Kranj which is in the heart of the Alps giving us a great and fast accessibility to most of the main outdoor areas in Slovenia.

Of course, some activities are more sensitive on the weather than others. If the weather or ground conditions are unsafe for any reason, our guides will change the activity and/or its original location.
