Our Mountain Paths of 2024

“If the point at which you immerse yourself in the river is the present, I thought, then the past is the water that has flowed past you, that which has gone downstream and where there is nothing left for you; whereas the future is the water that comes down from above, bringing dangers and surprises. The past is in the valley, the future in the mountains. Whatever destiny may be, it resides in the mountains that tower over us.” Paolo Cognetti, The Eight Mountains

We enjoyed countless mountain adventures together this past year, the same as in 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020, and the years before that. I’ve written about our Best mountain tours of 2024, yet the list of memorable mountain tours that we had is much longer and thus my heart is filled with fond memories. Therefore, a big Thank You All for trusting us as your go-to mountain trekking and climbing Slovenian agency in 2024! 

What may have set us apart in the valley became meaningless up in the pristine raw mountains. I even dare to assume that we all strived for the same goals as we humbly approached the daring peaks together, hanging from steep walls above looming cliffs, staring dreamily at the glittering mountains as the sun sank behind them, and hiked lightly along wonderfully remote paths to the unknown. The mountains connected us and what seemed big in the valley, may it have been burdens or victories, got lost somewhere on the trail. We simply WERE and that was enough.

It has truly been a privilege sharing those moments with you! You have enriched my life and, hopefully, me and other guides of Exploring Slovenia managed to touch yours as well.

Here are a few highlights of the mountain paths that we shared in 2024. Enjoy!

As the lights on the Christmas tree are twinkling, the snow is glistening from the mountain peaks, and we are eagerly glancing at the sky not to miss the first snowflakes, our hearts fill with love and expectations. Heart-warming childhood memories rush back and we dream of the moments that we could be as free as when we were kids. Many of us have found freedom in the mountains, many in the forest near home, and many in dancing, gardening, traveling and more. Regardless of how busy our lives may be, it’s absolutely essential to keep on searching for those moments of freedom. 

Our dear co-adventurers, who like ourselves look for those moments in the mountains, here is a selection of the best pictures from Exploring Slovenia’s hiking and climbing tours in 2023. Enjoy and hopefully we’ll see each other again on the trail!
