About the trip

This eight-night walking tour with G Adventures follows the Alpe-Adria Trail from alpine Austria through Slovenia into Italy, charting a course from the chalky summits near Großglockner to the Mediterranean light of Trieste. Along the way, walkers pass glaciers, hike beside emerald rivers, and visit sites marked by the Isonzo Front’s role in the First World War.

Highlights include a before-hours visit to Postojna Caves with a specialist guide, a private curator-led tour of the Kobarid Museum, and tastings at an eco farm and the Edi Simčič Winery. The route calls for steady legs but rewards them with viewpoints like Kaiser-Franz-Josefs-Höhe and lakeside walks around Bled.

The journey unfolds at a measured pace, mixing active days with opportunities to learn from local experts including speleologists and museum curators. There are no surprises about the early starts or the inevitable weather variations, all managed within a small group accompanied by National Geographic guides.
