Writers’

At Alpine Highs Slovenia, we firmly believe that nature offers a rich tapestry of inspiration for writers seeking to cultivate their craft. Hemingway got it right, minus the shotguns and toxic masculinity, of course. From the winds blowing down on Chalet Trzinka from adjacent peaks to the powerful streams that surround Farmhouse Chalet Apartments, the alpine wonders of Slovenia provide endless learning opportunities for authors. After accomplishing daily writing goals, authors can reward themselves by lacing up their cross country skis, flyfishing waders, or biking shoes and enjoying world class alpine sports all year round at our properties.

Key Takeaways:

• Nature serves as a powerful source of inspiration for writers during retreats
• Immersion in natural settings enhances creativity and deepens story-telling
• Wildlife observation helps authors develop and think of compelling characters
• Seasonal changes and natural disasters can be used to structure plots effectively
• Daily choirs integrated with writing like chopping wood or working on farms adjacent to our properties can boost the productivity of short breaks writers need between challenging paragraphs
• Rewarding yourself with a robust ski touring, flyfishing, or road bike trip after a hard days work and keeping in top shape whilst writing envigorates creativity and productivity
• The more dramatic seasonal changes in alpine setting helps authors time their work with seasonal changes and meet deadlines more effectively
• The owner of Alpine Highs Slovenia is an author and professor himself in nearby Vienna and can therefore provide guests with any assortment of books that writers need prior to their arrival
