We have two international airports really close to the Lodge.. Ljubljana in Slovenia (50 mins) and Trieste in Italy (45 mins). Our guests also fly in from Venice Marco Polo, Venice Treviso in nearby Italy and  Zagreb, Pula & Rijeka in nearby Croatia!.

We are happy to help you find the best route, airline and destination airport for your visit to Green Slovenia, so please just email us and give us some details.. in the meantime this page shows the huge choice of flight possibilities..

the huge brand spanking new Departures building at lovely Ljubljana airport..

If you do fly, there are many ways to minimise your carbon footprint once you get to the Greenest country in Europe.. here at the Lodge we use 100% solar power and try our very best to help you with your Green responsibilities.. for example, you can recharge your E car here at the Lodge or rent E bikes instead of even using a car.. if you would like to know more, then please just visit our GO GREEN page!        

And by locating our Lodge in such a perfect postion, not just for airports, but between the mountains and the coast, the distances to all the best bits are minimised, to save you time and petrol!

Due to excellent motorway connections and our central position, there are lots of other larger airport options. Depending on where you are flying from and which airline can give you the best price, these other airports may be a better option.

Venice in Italy is only 1 hr 50 mins / Treviso, also in Italy, is just less than 2 hours. Zagreb in Croatia is just less than 2 hours and has many direct flights to major cities. Klagenfurt in Austria and Rijeka & Pula in Croatia are both just over 90 mins from Lipizzaner Lodge!

So here is a list of cities you can fly from to get to Lipizzaner Lodge. 

To Ljubljana (Slovenia) 50 mins

We are delighted to inform you that Ljubljana airport has just completed a major transformation and is now worthy of your visit.. it is now a proper cute little international airport that Green Slovenia can be proud of.

smart new Arrivals hall with very nice cafe and amazing cakes..

The whole of the old airport was transformed into one Arrivals area and a huge new Departures building has been added next to it. There is a simple drop off area for cars and huge excellent car parks.. IT ALL WORKS and we would go as far as to say now.. if you can get a connection to Ljubljana airport, then this would be the one to come to start your Slovenian adventures!

OK, we are not overjoyed at some things, like the info people are hidden away in a glass box now, so not as welcoming as before and there are LONG walks for disabled or older people AND of course there is no rail link yet into Ljubljana direct from the airport, BUT overall we think it is a fantastic improvement!
