EDUCATIONAL TRIPS - Mediterranean, Ljubljana, Alps

Ready, Set, Come to Slovenia!

Slovenia is certainly more than just a nice advert, closer to a novel with an impressive plot. It's the single country whose name contains the magic word love. Indeed, love is found in many of its nooks and crannies, uniting diverse landscapes in a tiny place. The country's natural environment is absolutely phenomenal, while richness of landscape is one of its radiant competitive advantages. As a Slovene folk story goes, the creator forgot about this little piece of the world at first, and so in the very last moment, he crafted it from parts of all the others. Indeed, a unique feature of Slovenia are its four cultures and landscapes – the Alps, the Pannonian plains, the Karst and the Mediterranean; shaped by the historical influences of four peoples, the Slavic, Romance, Germanic, and Finno-Ugric.

Discover #sloveniameetings country on our autumn educational trips in the Mediterranean Slovenia, in our beloved capital or in the Alps. The choice is yours!

MEDITERRANEAN EDUCATIONAL TRIP

Date to be announced

Feel the perfume, passion and warmth of the Mediterranean!

The seaside landscape offers many opportunities for active leisure outdoors. Stroll along the walls of Piran, uncover hidden treasures of local culture, or set out to explore the fragrance of olive tree orchards and vineyards of the colourful Istrian countryside. Venture the secret corners of steep marine cliffs or take a bicycle ride down a scenic landscape along the Parenzana cycling route. Feel the perfume, passion and warmth of the Mediterranean!

Is the sea your preferred delight? Yoga next to the murmuring waves or simply a walk by the sea does wonders for your body, with as many as 10 billion healthy aerosols inhaled in a seaside day. For a closer touch of the waters, we'll take you for a sailboat or fishing trip, perhaps a fun regatta on the azure Adriatic to strengthen the team spirit. You can also try your hand at building a raft, setting out to catch and grill your own dinner. Add just a touch of salt flower, and the European bass is a heavenly treat! Have you heard of a fish named Fonda? Piran is introducing the world's first named cultivated fish – the Fonda bass. What else to complete your stay in the city of roses than a glass of rosé – with hints of the Portorož rose. Spice up your socialising with one of the active adventurous relaxation programmes in our pinch of the Mediterranean.

The Sečovlje Salt Pans are home to centuries of saltworking tradition and some unique open-air wellness capacities. Relax in the saltwater pools that promote circulation, helping flush toxins from your body while you enjoy the calm vista of the salt flats. In addition to the pleasant surroundings, they can arrange for a themed gala dinner that is sure to liven up your event. Let's add that the Sečovlje Salt Pans is also an extraordinary special venue.

Of course, don't forget Ljubljana is a compact green capital where getting from point A to point B often means simply a pleasant walk or a bicycle ride through the city, past its many charming sights and, what's best – the experience of that genuine urban pulse every traveller wishes to dip their feet in. More than enough time, then, for some joie de vivre in Slovenian style.

Our cherished writer Brina Svit, speaking in Paris at a promotional event organized by the Slovenian Convention Bureau, described her country thus: “Slovenia, a destination with the best location.” Rings true, in more than one context – geographical, cultural, social, economic … and great chemistry happens when all these factors come together. The appeal of our sites lies precisely in their multi-sensory palette of emotions; the excitement of diverse variety on a small scale. Come and see for yourself!

ALPINE EDUCATIONAL TRIP

Date to be announced

Crisp Alpine air. Marvellous Surroundings. Inspiration.

Bled. The place where the mountain fairies used to dance; they called upon waters from the nearby hills to torrent into the valley, flooding, creating Lake Bled from which only a green rocky peak yet ascends.

After spending time outdoors, a rich meal of spoon food (as they call their variety of thick soups and stews here) is perfect for recovery. Treat yourself to a hearty alpine lunch, complete with a delicious Bled cream slice and a sip of mead, the elixir of health. Cheers to our continued success! Did you know Slovenia is a cradle of beekeeping, the ancestral land of the native Carniolan honeybee known as the world's most peaceful bee species, nicknamed the Lady Bee? The Carniolan honeybee, a token part of Slovenian identity, is known for its gentle nature, diligence, resilience and extraordinary sense of orientation. And what do bees have in common with the Slovenia Meetings community? Hard work, modesty and enthusiasm – these are precisely the essential elements of the national brand I FEEL SLOVENIA. Together they constitute what we like to call Slovenian energy, the heart of Slovenia Meetings and our country's congress and tourism sectors.

The floral cornucopia of Bohinj and its surrounding mountain peaks is a balm for any soul chancing to visit. Charming sights and small pleasantries – from botanical wisdom to folklore custom, across the arts and insight that flowers aren't just pretty but belong in many places, even in the cooking pot! A promised land for the lovers of Alpine nature, as well as a great location for creative incentives in the mountains.

The sports pulse of the local Alpine region is naturally felt best in Kranjska Gora. Many cycling and hiking routes, splendid skiing slopes, the Planica Nordic Centre with its zipline over the biggest ski jumping hill in the world, all offer stimulating settings for incentives and meetings that will boost morale, strengthen companionship and energize your day.

These Alpine jewels of Slovenia shine throughout the seasons. Heartfelt experiences will charge you with fresh energy, whether you're attending a conference in one of Alpine Slovenia’s venues, here for teambuilding or incentive, or simply on leisure.
