Extra days

Day 0: Draga Valley to Zelenica hut
You can begin your hut-to-hut hike in the Draga Valley, from where you will ascend past the Preval mountain pasture to the top of Mt. Begunjščica to lay your eyes on one of the most striking views in Slovenia. By descending to the other side of the mountain, you will reach the Zelenica hut, a popular ski touring destination in winter.

You will hike to Mt. Stol from here the next day.

Day 7: Bohinj to Pokljuka Plateau
To prolong your hiking adventure in Slovenia, you can ascend the Pokljuka Plateau, marching through its wooded area and crossing the famous Zajamniki mountain pasture dotted with wooden shepherd huts and a mountain vista in the background. You will spend the night in a hotel in Goreljek.

Day 8: Goreljek to Lake Bled
The final stage will take you straight to the shores of the Slovenian crown jewel. You will strike across the Pokljuka Plateau, visit some less-known mountain pastures, and gently descend to Bled. You’ll know you’re at the end when you see the magical Lake Bled with an island in its middle!

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.
