Tour Highlights
Join us in the stunning Slovenian Alps for an unmissable adventure of freshwater swimming and walking
Swim to the picturesque 17th Century pilgrimage church on Bled Island
Enjoy the challenge of swimming the 4km length of beautiful Lake Bohinj - Slovenia’s largest lake
Cross over into Italy to swim in the stunning glacial Lago del Predil
Walk along stunning trails through Triglav National Park to the Kazjak waterfall
Swim among the highlands down the glacial-fed Soca river
Enjoy a freshwater swimming holiday in Slovenia and discover why the country is considered to be one of Europe's true hidden gems. Swim in the emerald green waters of Lake Bled and the crystal clear Soca River, take in the stunning scenery of Triglav National Park and even cross the border into Italy to swim Lago del Predil on this unforgettable short escape.
On this trip we’ll be based in the small town of Bohinj, the central hub for all our excursions by land and water. This includes a swim to the 17th Century church on Bled Island, crossing the beautiful Lake Bohinj, and exploring the National Park and Kazjak waterfall by foot.
To get the most out of this amazing experience, we will be combining swims with walks to see as much of the local area as possible, with occasional help from a canoe or rowboat. In order to experience the best swimming that Slovenia has to offer, we spend time travelling to and from different locations, which makes for quite a busy trip, with evening returns to the hotel on Days 2 and 3.
With such an action-packed four day adventure, we know it's important to recharge your batteries and the Hotel Jezero on the banks of the Bohinj Lake is the perfect place for it. The hotel offers comfortable accommodation, beautiful scenery, friendly staff and there's even a pool if you just can't get enough of swimming.
Who is this camp for?
This trip is for swimmers who love freshwater swimming and inspiring mountain scenery.
Swimmers should also have a basic understanding of open water swimming and be capable of completing the average swim distance of around 2 km prior to the start of the trip. The average daily distance is around 4km (split over a minimum of two swims).
We have given this trip a ‘Moderate’ grading. Most swimmers comfortable in the open water will be able to take part and enjoy one of these trips.

It was an amazing experience to swim in Slovenian lakes! The SwimTrek team did an outstanding program combining swims,hiking, wine tasting, great food and happy gathering of swimmers from all over... Highly recommend!

Swimming lake Bohinj was just the most magical experience for me, surrounded by the most stunning scenery and swimming in conditions you can only dream of in the UK.
Sarah K, UK - 2022 -
Bohinj Jezero is an outstanding beautiful base.
Derek H, Australia - 2022 -
This was my first Swim Trek. I cannot fault the experience. Slovenia is a beautiful country and swimming in Lake Bled and Lake Bohinj was amazing surrounded by mountains with the clearest water. The leaders were friendly and supportive and the swims chosen had the right amount of challenge for me. The hotel was great located just by Lake Bohinj (could see the lake from the balcony). Everyone in the group was so friendly and easy to get on with. I enjoyed every minute. I would highly recommend and hope I get an opportunity to attend another.
Olivia M, UK -2022 -
A brilliant swimming experience exploring a new country and some spectacular mountains and lake scenery. With friendly and experienced guides it was the perfect opportunity to swim some of the beautiful lakes going further than you could on your own whilst also exploring some of the classic sights of Slovenia such as Lake Bled and waterfalls.

Just completed an amazing few days of swimming in Slovenia with guides Amy and Ludovic. Perfect weather and wonderful group to swim and socialise with. Amy and Ludovic were superb guides. They managed to steer us safely through the trip with no fuss and lots of warmth and fun. Both guides are very skilled and perfect for this job! Ivo and Andrea deserve shout outs too for being great support.
Ruth Jackson - 2022 -
LOVED this trip. Well oganised with knowledgeable, fun, kind hosts/guides. The swimming locations were brilliant, some of the most beautiful, crystal clear water I've ever seen. I wish there were more lake swims on SwimTrek! Truly recommend it.
Kate Edley - 2022 -
Just a superb experience. Slovenia has breathtaking scenery, amazing swimming and wonderful people. Our guides - Ciara, Ivo, Nina and Sean - were brilliant, and the itinerary was action-packed to enjoy the maximum time in the water. Hoping to book next year's trip very soon. Thanks, SwimTrek!
Alex Peach - 2022 -
The most stunning swim location EVER!
Monica Hardwick - 2021 -
My first but definitely not my last SwimTrek - I rediscovered my love of swimming after a wee break from it, thanks to beautiful Slovenia and brilliant guides and fellow swimmers :)
Renee, Italy - 2019 -
The whole experience was amazing. There was a perfect combination of swimming, hiking and time to explore the local area. The trip was a fantastic way to experience Slovenia and was incredibly well organised.
Katherine H, UK - 2019 -
It’s all too easy to get caught up in the day-to-day of life and its perpetual demands, to then lose sight of what’s most beautiful while providing for our loved ones and our selves. SwimTrek restores that vision, reminding if not showing us what riches can abound in and around the water: Nature, adventure, wonder, health, camaraderie, and community. Thank you, SwimTrek, not for the trip of a lifetime – because I’ll soon take another with you – but for a trip that’s life affirming.
Beowulf S, USA - 2019 -
My first experience of Swimtrek was amazing! I loved every minute of it. From the briefing through to the end of the trip it was non stop fun - we packed so much into each day! Our guides Kelly and Sarah were incredible, making sure everyone was able to swim at their own pace and moving seemlessly from one activity to the next even when faced with some pretty unusual weather! I'll definitely be back.
Anna, UK - 2019 -
Don't hesitate, book, do the training and have the experience of a lifetime. Just incredible, loved every single second, and cannot wait to do another one. Thank you swimtrek - you were brilliant!
Rebecca L. IRL- 2018 -
There was a moment on this holiday when swimming flipped from being something that served a purpose to something I fell in love with. Swimming in the crystal clear Lake Bohinj with the sun on our backs is a memory I won’t forget. Absolutely amazing.
Graham S. UK- 2018 -
Swimming in the crystal clear waters of Lake Bled and Lake Bohinj was a truly life-affirming experience.
Michael S. UK- 2018 -
I signed up for this trip as I wanted to get fit, loose some weight and achieve something for myself after having my gorgeous baby 10 months ago. I swam 4 km down the length of beautiful lake Bohinj. I have made new friends, I feel fit and positive about myself, I have lost 1.5 stone through all my training and am very proud of myself! Thank you swimtrek!
Mary C. UK- 2018 -
The sense of achievement I got after swimming the 4km of the beautiful Lake Bohinj is still making me smile a week after coming home.
