The Slovenian Mountain Trail Highlights Hike is the ideal way to immerse yourself in the charm of the Julian Alps and the Karawanks. From the breathtaking views atop Mt. Stol to the scenic Triglav Lakes Valley, this trip offers a truly unique experience.

The route runs along the least technically demanding and picturesque section of the famous Slovenian Mountain Trail, the ultimate hiking challenge in the country. Although the path is adapted to be doable for any regular hiker, it includes some rocky passages and height exposure but requires no scrambling or climbing skills.

Starting in the Karawanks on the Austrian border, the track will lead you along grassy ridges, across meadows and mountain pastures, and through alpine valleys before dropping you off in the heart of the Julian Alps next to Lake Bohinj. But not before introducing you to the towering north face of Mt. Triglav and the Peričnik Waterfall in the Triglav National Park.

Passing kilometers in the stunning mountain landscape of the Alps, you will rest your legs in cozy mountain huts along the way. These lodges offer a warm and welcoming atmosphere with a chance to meet other hikers and learn about the local culture, including trying the authentic local dishes.

We strive to make your experience as comfortable and convenient as possible. That's why we take care of booking your spots in the mountain huts in advance and provide you with a booklet that includes a detailed itinerary and GPS navigation along the planned route. Our team will offer you support during your hike as well.

The tour is customizable, with options for extra days before the first stage and after the last one. If you share your wishes with us, we can start sorting out the itinerary to suit your needs in no time.

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.

What a wonderful 3-day hut tour! Our guide Jakob picked us up in the morning near Bled and brought us back there afterward. The first day pushed my tired legs to their limits during the ascent, but after that, everything went smoothly. A very beautiful and varied via ferrata to the summit! Jakob handled everything brilliantly due to his years of experience and high fitness: he recognized dangers in time, communicated calmly and relaxed, and found a solution for each of our concerns, even if that sometimes meant two backpacks... :). It was just so much fun. The nature is breathtaking, and we encountered some animals. I will cherish the pictures in my heart for a long time, thank you!

Absolutely unforgettable experience! Everything went super smoothly, from booking and interactions with the Triglav Tours office folks to my return home. Our guide, Jakob, was a wonderful young man, congenial, friendly, kind, good listener, funny, patient, experienced and helpful. He picked everyone up in the morning. He gave us useful tips at the onset of the hike. He knew exactly at what kind of pace we should be walking to make it to Triglavski dom na Kredarici, where we had a lunch break. He figured out exactly when we should start the actual climb so as to avoid the rain and make it back to the hut on time for dinner. He demonstrated how to use the ferrata set properly for the climb and guided us up and down the summit without a hitch. We had a perfect weather for the ascent and the following day we started the descent early enough, again, to avoid getting rained on. Finally, Jakob dropped each one of the four of us in the tour group at our home or hotel (wherever others stayed at the time). I am sincerely grateful for this tour and would most highly recommend it to everyone who is ready for a good physical and mental challenge because, let me be clear — participants must have enough stamina and not fear heights.

We had a great experience with our guide Ziga. We had to switch up our plans due to weather and the company was flexible and assisted us with an incredible Via Ferrata for our family. Looking forward to returning and checking Triglav off next.

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.
