Hiking: 19 km and 1900 m of elevation gain/loss

Triglav is Slovenia's highest and most iconic peak, with some of the most scenic trails in the Alps. While most hikers prefer a two-day ascent, a one-day climb can be an immensely rewarding challenge.

This route covers nearly 2000 meters of elevation and takes approximately 12-14 hours. It requires strong stamina and is best suited for experienced hikers. If you have a day and want to challenge yourself by climbing Mt. Triglav, this is the quickest way to experience Slovenia's most famous peak.

The journey begins in the beautiful Krma Valley. The ascent starts gently on a relatively easy trail. The rocky landscape offers a sense of calm that only mountains can provide.

As you ascend the gravel path, you'll pass a series of striking landmarks, cross rugged ridges, and encounter traditional mountain huts, each offering a glimpse into the alpine culture. The views grow increasingly spectacular, making each step rewarding as you climb towards Slovenia's highest point.

The final push to the summit is where the challenge intensifies. Triglav's via ferrata sections will test your resolve and require steady focus.

Despite the difficulty, the route is well-secured, and your guide will assist throughout. With the summit just ahead, each step brings you closer to the exhilarating reward of standing at the highest point in Slovenia.

The descent back to the valley is equally adventurous, offering breathtaking views, though it requires careful footing due to fatigue. Completing Triglav in a single day is an accomplishment worth celebrating.

Frequently Asked Questions

Although Triglav is not the most difficult mountain to climb in Slovenia, it still requires a certain level of experience.

Climbing Triglav without the experience (or someone who has it) with moving in exposed and steep terrain, route-finding, and knowing the local weather conditions can lead to dangerous consequences — getting lost, seriously injuring oneself, or in the worst case, death. What’s 100% sure is that your hike won’t be half as enjoyable as it could have been.

A professional local guide has all the necessary experience and knowledge to make your hike safer and therefore, more enjoyable. They can also enhance the climbing experience with interesting stories and tips, making sure climbing Triglav is a fond memory.

Triglav is amongst the most popular mountains in Slovenia. It has a great symbolic value for us and the saying goes that you are not a true Slovenian until you stand on its summit. Therefore, you can expect a lot of people on the mountain in the high season (July-September), especially on weekends. On week-days, however, it is much more peaceful. Luckily, our guides have some tricks up their sleeves when it comes to avoiding the crowds. Hint: they know exactly when and where to go.

Thousands of people climb Mt.Triglav every year. Some come better prepared than others, who underestimate the climb, which can lead to accidents. But with the right approach, knowing the weather conditions (especially the possibility of thunderstorms and snowfall), with the proper safety equipment and an experienced guide, you can minimize the objective dangers and feel completely safe.

Mountain huts in the Slovenian mountains are very cosy and authentic, but provide only basic comfort. Don’t expect too much luxury. Early bookings are usually rewarded with a room but if all rooms are full there are dormitories. There is no shower and the lavatories are basic. There is running water but it is not drinkable. The food is tasty and local but the menu is limited to a few dishes and drinks.

The earlier the better. The highest season, from July to September, it is not unusual for huts to be fully booked for months ahead. Weekdays are better but we still suggest bookings at least a month in advance. Last-minute bookings are very dependable on the weather – if the forecast is not a perfect bluebird, then some spots usually become available a few days before.

We can’t transfer luggage between the huts since they’re not accessible by car. However, we’re happy to recommend luggage storage solutions for your convenience.

We can’t express how much we love our guide, Luka! He is exceptionally well-organized and experienced(having climbed Triglav since he was just 11, impressive). He managed our expectations and kept us updated on the weather conditions, pace, and rest points, so we always knew how we were progressing, even as first-time Triglav climbers. Thanks to his professionalism, we had the perfect timing and enjoyed the best possible moment on Triglav. We have seen the ibex, cattle, rainbow, sunrise… This is truly one of our most unforgettable experiences in Slovenia!

We did the two day Triglav tour. Our Guide was Jakob and he was excellent. He taught us a lot about Slovenia and he also cared a lot about the area which was nice to see. He kept us safe, encouraged us and he had good humour. We hiked up to the Krederica Hut and it took us 4 hours. Food there was great! We decided to go for the summit the next morning and it was amazing. Not as intimidating as it looks and totally safe with the via ferrata equipment and a good Guide.

Had the best time on my 1 day hike up Triglav! It was beautiful, my guide Gorazd was friendly and very organized. We started the drive from Bled at 2am since there was rain in the forecast for 12pm. We made it to the summit about 1 hour before the clouds came in and blocked the view. Perfect timing! Speaking with the team over email was also great and they helped me get something booked last minute. Highlight of my trip to Slovenia and maybe of my whole 9 weeks in Europe. If you have the stamina I recommend the 1 day trek. We spent about 11 hours actually hiking but the trail isn’t very demanding.

Had an amazing day with Uroš. He was very friendly and easy to communicate with. Even though he had a child due a few days before we did the climb he was super relaxed and lots of fun to talk to. Made me feel very comfortable the entire time and had lots of information about the location and different history of the area. 10/10 would recommend and a very heartfelt thank you from me for making sure I was safe and we completed the day. I hope one day you can make it to Alaska my friend :)

Our trip this past August was one that we will never forget. Jakub was a fantastic guide who always kept our spirits up, especially with the via ferata. It was our first time climbing a mountain and he kept checking in on us to make sure we were doing ok. 10/10 would recommend!!
