Walk silently through the snowy Slovenian Alps instead of watching from a distance.

A 3-hour guided snowshoeing activity in Jezersko glacier valley and the surrounding Kamnik-Savinja Alps, departing from Bled with hotel pickup and equipment included. The guide adjusts the route and pace to your fitness level, from leisurely walks to steeper viewpoint ascents, and points out animal tracks and the geology of the mountains. Children age 8 and up can join. Coffee or tea is served during the outing.

The Experience

How do you move through a snowy mountain landscape without sinking? Snowshoes let you walk across terrain that would otherwise stop you, and the silence of it (no engine noise, no crowds) is what draws people back. The Jezersko glacier valley sits in the Kamnik-Savinja Alps near Bled, and it fills with snow deep enough that the usual hiking trails disappear under white. Your guide meets you at your hotel, drives to the trailhead, and hands you brand-new TSL snowshoes and Black Diamond walking poles. The equipment is the latest available, which means less fatigue in your legs and ankles as you move.

The guide is trained in the history, geology and ecology of the Alps and will point out animal tracks pressed into the snow, explain how the glacier shaped the valley, and answer questions as you walk. The pace is yours to set: if you want a gentle, meandering route through the forest, that is what you get. If you want to climb to a nearby viewpoint for a wider perspective, the guide can arrange that instead. Either way, the route takes three hours total. Coffee and tea are served partway through, and the guide handles all the logistics of getting you back to Bled afterward.

Snowshoeing suits families with children age 8 and older, and it does not require any prior experience or special fitness level: only a willingness to move at a steady pace for a few hours in the cold. The activity is not suitable for travelers with spinal injuries or significant cardiovascular concerns, but beyond that, the guide will work with your abilities on the day.

Top questions

What languages is the guide in?

Live guide in English, French, German and Italian.

What happens if it rains?

It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24h before the start.

Can I book snowshoeing without the hotel pickup from Bled?

Yes, one option includes snowshoeing without transfer. You would arrange your own way to the trailhead. The other option includes hotel pickup and drop-off in Bled, plus the guided activity and equipment.

What are the other locations besides Jezersko glacier valley?

Depending on snow conditions and your preference, the guide can also take you to Pokljuka plateau, the Karawanks border area (which has views into Austria), or Vršič mountain pass in the Julian Alps. The guide will discuss options when you book or on the morning of the tour.

Is snowshoeing hard on the knees and ankles?

Snowshoes distribute your weight across the snow surface so you sink less, which reduces strain compared to hiking through deep snow without them. The brand-new equipment provided is designed to minimize fatigue. The guide also sets a pace that suits your fitness level.

What should I wear for a three-hour snowshoe in the Alps?

Layers work best: a moisture-wicking base layer, an insulating middle layer, and a windproof outer jacket. Waterproof gloves, a warm hat and wool socks are essential. The guide can advise on specifics when you confirm your booking.

Can children really do this, or is it too strenuous?

Children age 8 and up can join. The guide adjusts the route and pace to match the group's abilities. Snowshoeing is gentler on young joints than steep hiking, and the quiet, snowy landscape often appeals to kids more than a crowded trail.
