Triglav and the Julian Alps
This hut-to-hut hiking tour begins in the scenic Bohinj area. On the first day, we’ll hike through the heart of Triglav National Park, where the landscape gradually changes, revealing wide-open views. Passing the well-known Vodnik Lodge, we’ll continue up to the Planika Lodge near Mt. Triglav, where we’ll spend the night.
The following day, we’ll make our way to the summit of Slovenia’s highest mountain. This is the most technically challenging part of the trip, but our experienced guides will ensure a safe and steady climb.
From Triglav, we’ll descend across the western Triglav Plateau to the Dolič Hut, then continue over Hribarice Pass to the Prehodavci Hut, which offers views of the northern Julian Alps. Our route then takes us through Triglav Lakes Valley—also called the Seven Lakes Valley—where we’ll pass a series of glacial lakes before staying overnight at the Triglav Lakes Hut.
On the final third day, we’ll hike across alpine pastures, where some shepherds still practice traditional cheesemaking. We’ll then make our way back to our starting point near Bohinj, marking the end of the trip.

WHO IS THIS FOR?
You should be fit enough for 3 days of trekking covering approximately 1000m of ascent / descent per day. You don't need previous trekking or mountaineering experience but you will need to arrive in good health and with a high level of fitness and a good head for heights for the summit Via Ferrata. The summit day is tough but very rewarding as you reach the roof of Slovenia and are greeted with amazing views.
This journey comprises some of the best panoramic views of the Julian Alps and their hidden valleys. You might even meet the local wildlife population, like the chamois or ibex. You will get to taste authentic Alpine cuisine and feel that special type of freedom that comes with hiking, sleeping, and waking high in the Alps. Get in touch and we'll be happy to talk it through with you.

Planika Hut
Planika’s name comes from the Slovenian name for Edelweiss, the flower that is a symbol of mountaineering and the beauty of the Alps. Planika Hut has the advantage of offering two possible routes for the final push to Triglav’s peak, which can be very convenient if we wish to pick a path that is less crowded with hikers. Apart from good food, you can also find comfortable rooms at the Planika. The lodge can accommodate up to 120 people.

Day 1:
Pick up from Bled
We will start our tour by picking you up in the lakeside town of Bled and driving to Planina Blato above Bohinj (45min from Bled). Our meeting time depends on the forecast and time of the year and will be set a day or two before the tour but plan for 08:00. After a quick gear check, we will start walking in the forest and through mountain pastures, slowly starting to gain altitude before reaching the Vodnik hut after about 4h. There is a freshwater spring there as well as an opportunity to eat a quick lunch. After another 2h of uphill hiking, we reach Planika Lodge, our home for the night.

Day 2:
Triglav Summit Day
Today is Triglav summit day. We will gear up with our Via Ferrata kit and start climbing Triglav early in the morning. The climb takes around 1.5h and from the summit we descend to the other side, reaching the Dolič mountain hut after around 2.5h. After a welcome break, another short but easy climb awaits us before descending to the Prehodavci Lodge. There we slowly descend through the beautiful Seven Lakes Valley, reaching our resting lodge at the Double Lake to celebrate with a well-earned meal and drink.
14 km / 800m up / 1450m down / 6 hours -
Day 3:
Final Descent
Our last day is easier on the legs, as we slowly make our way past authentic mountain pastures descending back to our car. If there is energy left in the tank, there is also an opportunity to reach another viewpoint on the way down. We are usually back at our road transport early in the afternoon. We then make the 45min drive back to Bled and say our goodbyes.
