The mild Mediterranean climate is perfect for trips and recreation in the fresh air at any time of the year. Temperatures range from 16 to 25 °C in spring and autumn, whilst the winters are bracing, with temperatures of between 8 and 18 °C ensuring that coastal walks are highly invigorating.

The St. Bernardin Resort is an excellent starting-point for exploring the heritage of Slovenia’s littoral region as well as the Karst and Istrian hinterland.

The ancient Sečovlje salt-pans and the Strunjan nature reserve, the historic towns of Piran, Izola, Koper and Trieste, the caves at Postojna and Šocjan (a UNESCO world heritage site), as well as the Lipica Stud farm, home of the famous white Lipizzaner horses, are all just a short journey away.
