Velika Planina Private Alpine Tour: Cable Car and Shepherd Huts

✨ Step off the cable car onto a green alpine plateau dotted with over 100 wooden shepherds’ huts, their shingle roofs sweeping almost to the ground. ✨ Velika Planina is one of Europe’s largest herders’ settlements, and it still works: from June to September, herdsmen bring their cattle up to graze and make cheese the way their grandparents did. Perfect for travellers with one free morning in Ljubljana who want real mountains, real culture, and few crowds. Step inside the Preskar Museum hut to see how the herdsmen lived, then taste trnič, a cheese made only on this plateau. Its stamped patterns hide a love story you’ll hear up there. On the way back, stroll through Kamnik, a medieval town of cobbled lanes and castle ruins at the foot of the Alps. Your own licensed local guide picks you up at your door in Ljubljana and travels with you in a comfortable air-conditioned car or minivan, at your pace.
