Overview

This fantastic hut-to-hut trekking holiday takes you on a spectacular journey across the Julian Alps of Slovenia to the summit of Mt Triglav and is impossible to beat. Straddling Italy and Slovenia the beautiful Julian Alps offers some of the most impressive mountain scenery in Europe including Triglav National Park which is home to alpine pastures, pine forests, clear streams, crystal lakes, mountain huts and a rich variety of jaw-dropping trails. From the lakeside gem of Bled we head to the breath-taking Bohinj Valley and ascend to Crna Prst which offers a stunning panorama of Bohinj's glacier lake. Keeping high we’ll spend the next few days on a wonderful ridge above lush alpine valleys before we cross the magnificent Skrbina Pass. A gentler day in the Valley of the Seven Lakes sees us arrive on the shoulders of the highest mountain in Slovenia, the spectacular triple-headed Triglav (2864m). From here the route to the top is outstanding as we follow an exhilarating trail which offers a spot of scrambling and sections of via ferrata. The view from the summit is described as one of the most sublime among the Alps and we’ll be rewarded with an extensive panorama across the Julian Alps, Italy and Austria. Using traditional alpine huts this unforgettable traverse is topped off with a final night in Lake Bled.

On this trekking holiday, and as you'd expect on a classic alpine journey, you will encounter significant amounts of ascent and descent alongside some long days spent high in the mountains. The trails are good with some sections of rocky ridge walking and elements of exposure. On the final (optional) 2-hour ridge walk to the summit of Triglav there are fixed cables and you’ll be provided with a harness and helmet for this via ferrata section. These two pieces of equipment will need to be carried in your rucksack on the day of the climb. For 5 nights we stay in traditional mountain huts deep in the park. As we are away from road access you'll need to carry your personal equipment for the trek. Considering all bedding is provided and with a spot of careful packing you can avoid any form of heavy backpacking. Part of the overall holiday experience is not being vehicle supported, meaning you are walking in areas that are totally off the beaten track, which does have an influence on the grading. However this holiday is the perfect choice for fit hill walkers looking for a holiday that includes the most spectacular traverse in Europe.
