Helia Travel is a small Slovenian travel agency offering self-guided walking holidays in Slovenia. They also offer a guided climbing, multi-sport and family single-center tour. Helia Travel is one of the few companies we’ve seen that offer discounts for children, so they’re a great choice for families. They also began in a pastry shop, which makes them extra special in our book!

Lodging examples are included for each trip so you have a good idea of accommodations and they’ve added some nice video footage so you get a good visual of what you’ll be hiking.
