Experience the very best of Slovenia’s Julian Alps by trekking across the glorious landscape of Triglav National Park. On this adventurous hike, you will ascend Slovenia’s highest mountain, venture through the unbelievably beautiful Triglav Lakes Valley, witness nature’s imaginative creations, and sleep in authentic mountain huts.

This hut-to-hut hiking tour starts at picturesque Bohinj. The first day is spent hiking in the heart of Triglav National Park. As we head deeper into the mountains, the terrain changes and stunning views open up. We make our way past the famous Vodnik Lodge and up to the Planika Lodge near Mt. Triglav where we spend the night. The following day, it’s time to finish the job of conquering Slovenia’s highest peak. It’s the most technically demanding leg of our journey, but our expert guide will make sure everyone feels safe and secure.

From Triglav, it’s time to descend into the magical Triglav Lakes Valley also called the Seven Lakes Valley, home to seven stunning glacial lakes in picture-perfect locations. We hike through this breathtakingly scenic place to the Triglav Lakes Lodge where a well-deserved night’s rest awaits. On the third day, we return via the vast Komna Plateau towards the Savica Waterfall and slowly yet surely return to Bohinj.

This fantastic journey is packed with some of the best panoramic views of the Julian Alps and their hidden valleys. You might even get to meet the local wildlife population, like the chamois or ibex. The trails are not too demanding and suitable for amateur hikers. However, a certain level of physical fitness is necessary, especially for climbing Mt. Triglav. You will get to taste authentic alpine cuisine and feel that special type of freedom which comes with hiking, sleeping and waking high in the Alps. As the famous naturalist John Muir once said: “In every walk with nature, one receives far more than he seeks.”

NOTE: It can be busy up there in the summer. To ensure your spot in the lodges, we recommend booking the tour several weeks in advance, especially for the weekends. For last-minute bookings, we can not guarantee a free spot in the chosen lodge, but we will try our best or find the most suitable alternative for you.

It is important that your clothes are comfortable. It is recommended that you also have some warmer and windproof clothing with you as 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.

We will make a reservation at the hut for you at the time of your booking in advance and you can pay cash on the spot. There are rooms available if you book early enough, otherwise there are cheaper dormitories – let us know your preferred option.

We believe that your experience will be better in smaller groups. Therefore, there will be a maximum of 5 guests per guide.

You don’t need any prior experience for the tour, however, you should be comfortable with two full days of hiking with breaks.

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.

Our minimum age for Triglav tour is 12 years old. Children should be able to hike for two full days with stops. If you are planning to go on a tour with young kids, please let us know in advance and we can adjust the tour if necessary.

Bring enough water (can be refilled in the hut), snacks for three days and sunscreen or other sun protection. You can also bring trekking poles if you are used to them. Take with you only the most necessary cosmetics and basic personal care items for an overnight stay. A fresh t-shirt and a pair of socks for each day. If you have your own sleeping liner you can bring it with you, or you can get a disposable one in the huts for a few euros. Also note that there are no restrooms in nature, only in the hut.

First off: the hike of approximately 1 hour to the cave can be quite intense. However, we train jiu jitsu daily which has quite some cardio, and for us it was very doable. The hike was fun and had a few very nice viewpoints. After the hike, our amazing guide Anže gave us a good training on how to use the caving/climbing gear to go down steep/vertical slopes and back up. After getting ready, which took about 45 mins, we went into the cave. The cave itself is very large, and had some really nice features of which Anže was very knowledgeable and was able to explain a lot of details. After walking through the cave for a while (15-30 mins?) we arrived at the best part: an abyss of 40m straight down. This was an amazing experience, which was thrilling yet felt very safe. Even my wife, who has fear of heights, enjoyed the experience. She was scared/frozen for a bit, but Anže calmed her down, after which she was able to go all the way to the bottom and enjoyed it a lot! After the descent into the abyss, we climbed back up via another path, and experienced some more amazing parts of the cave. About 3 hours into the trip (including hike and preparation) we exited the cave and hiked back down to our starting point. This took another 30 mins I think. All in all, around 4 hours total for our trip. The experience was really unique, felt safe, but still got the adrenaline pumping!! Both of us agree: 10/10 would do again!

We took the 4-hour "City Bike Tour Ljubljana" with our guide, Andrej. Andrej was fabulous: filled with informative, historical, and humorous details. The ride allowed us to see many parts of Ljubljana in a short time, and Andrej tied it all together. The ride was not too difficult (we are seniors). The lunch stop was perfect (Slovenian charcuterie, plus a pour of local wine): enough to eat, water to drink, and a convenient WC. We recommend this tour (and Andrej) without reservation. We could not hope for a better experience.

It was really wonderful experience! Luka our guide is professional and passionately guiding us to the beautiful Pokljuka! We are beginner, but thanks to him, we were able to complete the snowshoeing safely. We highly recommend this!

This was a truly amazing experience! We really enjoyed our beautiful Seven Lakes Valley hike with an overnight stay at a mountain hut. The alpine scenery of mountains throughout the hike was simply stunning especially the crystal clear emerald lakes, which are absolutely breathtaking! The cosy mountain hut was a lifesaver after a long day’s hike, dinner was hearty and delicious, atmosphere was lively and the beds were warm and comfortable - overall a great experience! What made it all the more enjoyable was being in the safe hands of our brilliant guide, Klemen who was not only very experienced, professional and knowledgeable, but he was also extremely helpful and accommodating. He went out of his way to take care of our needs during the journey. From the start, he was very responsive and proactive in helping us arrange our itinerary in the best way possible to maximise our time there. We also did a private rock climbing session with him after the hike and it was awesome! We definitely enjoyed our time in Slovenia with him and highly recommend going with this company and a private guide like him if you are looking for a customised trip.
