Venture into Slovenia’s untamed mountainous paradise, where you’ll get to conquer magnificent peaks and soak up the natural splendour that surrounds them – magnificent views and local wildlife included. Every tour is tailored to your specific wishes and abilities, presenting you with a unique opportunity to satisfy your adventurous spirit and reap the rewards of alpine exploration to the max. The mountains are calling, so let’s go!

Mount Triglav is spectacular. But it’s far from the only incredible summit the Slovenian mountains have to offer. If Triglav is the king of our Alps, then Škrlatica is definitely its queen and Jalovec a mighty prince, the well-deserved nickname for which is Crystal Mountain, the symbol of the Alpine Association of Slovenia. There are numerous marked and unmarked trails leading up these and many other impressive giants that are just begging to be explored.
So what exactly is the Off the Beaten Path tour all about?

It’s about discovering the hidden corners of our mountainous world you wouldn’t believe exist. It’s embarking on an adventure in the company of a professional mountain guide who will take you deep into the untamed wilderness where most tourists (and even locals) haven’t set foot. The tour is perfect for those who have already conquered Triglav and have returned to Slovenia hungry for more diverse alpine adventures. We lead you up remote mountain trails where you’re unlikely to bump into anyone and can therefore enjoy the journey in blissful solitude.

The tour can be entirely tailored to your needs and physical preparedness. From short hikes and easy ascends, to the most challenging climbs up demanding unmarked trails. You can opt for a one-day tour or multi-day excursions. Overnight stays in bivouac shelters only add to the fantastic adventure in these isolated, highly picturesque parts of the country. Given the bespoke nature of these tours, adapting to weather conditions comes with much greater flexibility, as does the choice of our hike’s starting point.

Whatever you do, don’t forget to check your memory card beforehand, because there will be ample opportunity to document breath-taking surroundings, indigenous wildlife (chamois, eagles, mountain goats…), beautiful alpine plants, and of course the unforgettable views from Slovenia’s most prized mountain peaks.

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.

It is important that your clothes are comfortable. You should have comfortable shoes with a good grip. It is recommended that you also have some warmer and windproof clothing with you as the temperature can drop or in case of cold wind. You can always leave excess clothes in the van after consulting with our guide.

In case of bad weather the tour can be postponed or you will be fully refunded.

The group size will vary on the tour we will choose. More difficult tours can have fewer people per guide.

Our tours are led by professional local guides. Our guides will make sure that you receive expert guiding combined with great fun and a memorable experience.

We can create and adjust a tour suitable for children of any age.

I went on the Triglav Winter tour with a friend, and guided by Klemen, in December 2023. The hike was absolutely fantastic! Beautiful views and an exciting climb up to the top. Klemen was incredbily helpful with any questions we had beforehand, and he was a wonderful guide all the way up. This hike was the best part of our Slovenia trip!! Thanks Klemen!

Excellent experience with Triglav Tours and especially my guide Bine! I did the 1 night/2 day hike up Triglav in mid October and everything exceeded my expectations. Bine's a legend - very knowledgeable, friendly, and confident in assessing the groups experience levels. He had to spend a bit more time with a member of our party who needed rope assistance on some parts of the climb and the extra work he had to put in didn't slow us down at all, very professional. Would definitly book a tour again, cheers!

I went on a 2 day tour with Luka and Luka. We were very fortunate with the weather but despite that both Luka’s were exceptional. Could not recommend them more highly. Ultimate professionals. The organisation from Tina to the guides was first rate. I would not hesitate to recommend them or use them for future adventures. 😃

I completed my Triglav 2 days tour in September of 2023 starting at Rudno Polje and it was the best experience of this year summer season. Miha is quite a professional and intelligent guide who perfectly estimates the strengths and weaknesses of the team he guides, weather forecast and other circumstances like how dense would be expected traffic at via ferrata sections on the way out and back and to plan the tour accordingly. Not to mention he is a wonderful interlocutor with a deep knowledge of the area and mountains in general. I'd definitely recommend both the company and the guide.

Exceptional “Panorama 3 day Hike to Pokjuka Plateau” October 6-8. Stayed first night at Hotel Jelka (which I highly recommend) because Blejska hut was fully booked. The hotel is a nice option as it has been fully renovated and is close to the hut but offers hot showers and a private room! Second night was at Uskovnica hut which could use updating but offers lots of outdoor patio space, hot & cold running water and indoor flush toilets, much appreciated. It is accessible to day hikers so busy mid afternoon on a sunny Sunday! My guide Klemen, was incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, helpful and kind! Every detail of our route was carefully planned to make the experience perfect for me. Assistance was generously offered and accepted through rough scree coming down from the shoulder. Pace and snack breaks were set to meet my needs exactly and Klemen is a super friendly person. I was alerted about dangerous karst crevices and places where there were steep steps and tricky spots to navigate. All of which made my experience stress-free and fun, as well as extremely safe. I can’t find enough words to express how much I recommend Triglav Tours and particularly my guide Klemen Gerbec. Triglav National Park is spectacular- don’t miss it!

My friends and I did a 3 day hut-to-hut hike in Triglav National Park this summer and loved it! Our guide, Bine, was very knowledgeable and provided necessary equipment and fun facts through the hike. We really enjoyed the via ferrata experience and we were happy to have someone guide us through the more technical aspects. The overnights in the huts were a blast with our guide and the other girls on our tour as well. Great way to see Triglav National park and meet new people! I cannot recommend Triglav tours enough!!
