This Slovenia photography tour combines two things most photo tours never put in the same week: the Julian Alps at peak autumn color, and wild brown bears photographed from professional hides.
We start in Ljubljana and go straight to work: day two is the brown bear session, an afternoon in purpose-built hides in the forests of southern Slovenia, one of the most reliable places in Europe to photograph bears in the wild. Then we move to Bled and the days fall into a photographer's rhythm - sunrise at the lake with its island church, Jamnik's hilltop chapel above the valley fog, the wooden walkways of Vintgar gorge, and over the Vrsic pass into the Soca Valley, where the river runs a green you will not believe until it is on your screen.
Slovenia gives you density. From one base in Bled, a dozen classic locations sit within an hour's drive - so October's short days go to shooting, not driving. And in early October the beech forests turn gold, the valley fog arrives, and the summer visitors are gone.
Join our Slovenia photo tour and spend the best week of the alpine autumn behind your camera.
