Can’t decide between the beauty of hut-to-hut hiking and the thrill of climbing Triglav? The good news is – you don’t have to!
You can discover the wild heart of Slovenia on a high-alpine journey that blends the country’s most iconic long-distance trail with the unforgettable ascent of its highest peak, Mount Triglav.
This tour is designed for experienced hikers who want to discover the diversity of Slovenia’s alpine landscape on foot, with a mix of self-guided exploration and a professionally guided ascent to the top of Triglav.
The Slovenian Mountain Trail takes you through some of the most impressive and varied terrain in the Julian Alps and Karawanks – two distinct mountain ranges, each with their own character.
From the Karawank’s open ridgelines and soft alpine pastures, you’ll transition deeper into the Julian Alps, where trails weave through limestone peaks and high-mountain valleys, following glacier-fed streams into the heart of Triglav National Park.
The true highlight of the tour is the ascent of Mount Triglav (2,864 m), a national symbol and rite of passage for Slovenians.
Unlike the rest of the route, which is fully self-guided, the climb to the summit is done with a certified mountain guide. This ensures safety and confidence on the upper sections of the mountain, which include exposed ridge walking and via ferrata-style climbing secured with fixed cables.
We handle the logistics so you can focus on the trail. Accommodations are pre-booked, and you’ll receive a digital guidebook with detailed trail notes, GPS tracks, and practical tips to keep you on course.
With our support in the background, you’ll have the freedom of a self-guided hike with the added assurance of professional guidance on the summit day.
So lace up your hiking boots and get ready to experience the best of both worlds!

I have a lot of experience hiking in the mountains but still chose to book a guide, as I have neither the gear nor experience in via ferrata climbing. It turned out to be a really good idea! Prior to the trip, I had contact with the organizer and a video call where I could ask questions, which provided a good basis for deciding which trip was right for me. We were three women + our guide Jakob. On day 2, we started very early before sunrise, which gave us a bit more space on the trail and the pleasure of watching the sun rise over the mountain. Jakob was incredibly good at making our small group function, even though our levels were quite varied. I have a fear of heights, but I didn't feel unsafe at all. It was really nice that there was time to clip us into the wire. Back at the cabin, we had breakfast before heading back down towards the car. An absolutely fantastic trip that requires good physical fitness.

(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. ⭐️
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!
