From the thrill of standing on the summit of Mount Triglav to the tranquility of the Seven Lakes Valley and the emerald flow of the Soča River, this trek is designed to showcase the full spectrum of Slovenia’s mountain magic.
With a certified mountain guide, you’ll tackle the exposed sections and fixed cables on the upper ridges of the ascent of Mount Triglav (2,864 m) with full safety support and all necessary equipment provided.
You will become a part of a deeply rooted Slovenian transition as you’ll pose for a photo next to Aljaž Tower at the top of Slovenia’s highest peak.
After the climb, you’ll explore the trails on your own as they open into the diverse landscapes of the Julian Alps.
You’ll make your way through the legendary Seven Lakes Valley, where a string of glacial lakes is framed by dramatic limestone peaks. The self-guided journey then carries you along the emerald waters of the Soča River, often called the most beautiful river in Europe, and across the Komna Plateau, a remote alpine area that combines natural wonder with traces of wartime history.
The trek then concludes at Lake Bohinj, the largest and most tranquil lake in Slovenia. Surrounded by forests and traditional villages, it’s the perfect place to rest, swim, or simply take in the mountain views after days on the trail.
With its mix of guided summit and self-guided exploration, this tour is a complete alpine experience – one that captures both the adventure and the serenity of Slovenia’s high mountains. And if you're unsure if ascending Mt. Triglav is something you're willing to try, you can always opt for our The Best Julian Alps and Soča Valley Hike.
To ensure you get the most out of your hike, we’ll take care of everything: overnight stays in welcoming mountain huts are booked in advance, and you’ll be equipped with a digital guidebook, GPS tracks, and on-trip support.
All that’s left for you to do is pack and hit the trails!

(Also reviewed on Google) 6/5 stars for Jakob and the two-day Triglav tour we did last week. Our tour was a group of three (me, my friend, and a third that joined solo) and we had a blast. We did the two day Triglav summit tour. We went up on Day One in around 6 hours, adding and extending breaks to accommodate the group. Then we summitted for sunrise on Day Two which was a fantastic idea. Then if was a little less than four hours down. Grad provided and an overview of how to use it. Krederica hut was huge and quite basic, but you’re there for the hike not the hut. We felt great having such an experienced and confident guide in Jakob; could’ve done it alone but so happy we didn’t. Overall, fully recommend hiking Triglav, using Triglav Tours, and doing any hike with Jakob as the guide. ⭐️
6/5 stars for Jakob and the two-day Triglav tour we did last week. Our tour was a group of three (me, my friend, and a third that joined solo) and we had a blast. Jakob was a fantastic guide—knowledgeable and confident, clearly comfortable on the mountain, personable, attentive to the group… we all developed a fun rapport quickly, joking and chatting along the way. He was great about reading the group too and making changes when we needed it. We went up on Day One in around 6 hours, adding and extending breaks to accommodate, changing up the pace as needs changed. Then we summitted for sunrise on Day Two which was a fantastic idea of Jakob’s—it gave our legs some time to rest and brought some truly incredible views before the crowds set in on the via ferrata section. Then if was a little less than four hours down. Overall, fully recommend hiking Triglav, using Triglav Tours, and doing any hike with Jakob as the guide. ⭐️
Definitely was nervous for my first via ferrata, and even more so when my stomach became unsettled on the excursion. But Jakob walked us through it all and gave me just enough motivation to think I could make it! Enough self doubt remained to stay focused! Haha The hut had all the necessities, like a hostel, and the hike was gorgeous and tough! Tough enough to truly have the sense of accomplishment at the end! Well worth it! Thank you!!!

We did the 2-day guided Triglav hike and would absolutely recommend the tour. There were three women in our group (my friend and I and a third solo traveler) and we all enjoyed the experience immensely. Our guide, Jakob, was excellent and very helpful as none of us had ever done a via ferrata before and there were varying levels of confidence over the prospect. We had sunny weather both days and ended up climbing Triglav to watch sunrise the second day, which I highly recommend. Overall a great experience!
My tour to Triglav was perfect from start to finish. My guide Luka was so lovely and kind and made sure I was okay the whole way, as well as pointing out the other mountains and animals along the way. He reassured me when I felt like I was being slow and let me know if we were on track and when we’d have breaks. Booking with Triglav Tours was so easy and the day before Luka was I contact to go over pick up times. He brought hiking poles for me just in case and I was so grateful he did! I couldn’t have wished for a better 2 days and the sunrise summit was a moment I will never forget. Words can’t express how grateful I am and how amazing the experience was!
