The Kiddies Velika Planina Experience is designed for families who want to explore one of Slovenia's most beautiful mountain regions at a relaxed pace. Gentle trails, wide-open meadows, and stunning views make this the perfect introduction to hiking for children and parents alike.
Your adventure takes you across the iconic Velika Planina plateau, known for its unique shepherd settlement and breathtaking alpine scenery. Along the way, you'll discover local traditions, enjoy mountain hospitality, and create lasting family memories.
With comfortable accommodation, easy walking routes, and plenty of opportunities to explore and play, this family trek combines nature, culture, and adventure in the heart of the Slovenian Alps. As there are no food services available at the chalet, we recommend bringing your own meals and snacks so you can fully enjoy your time in the mountains.
A gentle but proper mountain wander across Velika Planina, made for families who like big skies without big drama. Rolling pastures, wooden huts and wide-open views do the talking here. The route dances between Mala Planina and Velika Planina, with Gradišče above the scene at 1,666 metres. Lovely stuff, alp magic with a soft landing.
From the chairlift, the path eases onto the plateau and swings past Domžalski dom na Mali Planini before opening toward the Velika Planina viewpoint. You roll through grassy bowls near Jarški Dom, with views toward Mala Planina, Bukovec and the Alps. The climbs and dips are steady rather than spicy, just enough to keep little legs proud.
The final stretch slips past the shepherds’ settlement, the Chapel of Our Lady of the Snows, alpine huts and the Velika Planina pastures. Arrival at Domžalski dom na Mali Planini feels exactly right: wooden warmth, mountain air, and that happy silence after a day well played.
Your journey comes to an end on Velika Planina. After a final look across the green pastures, wooden huts and wide Alpine views, make your way back toward the chairlift and the valley below. A calm, family-friendly goodbye to the mountains, with cowbells still ringing in your head.
