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.
Is this holiday for you?
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.

Itinerary
Day 1
Meet at the group hotel in Bled. A timed transfer from Ljubljana Airport is included.
Show Details
Meet at the group hotel in Bled. A timed transfer from Ljubljana Airport is included. The pretty town of Bled is located on the shores of Lake Bled and is surrounded by a magnificent Julian Alps backdrop. With its charming church, fairy-tale island and magnificent medieval castle, Bled is also home to lake waters fed by natural springs and is a fantastic place for a swim. The relaxed promenade is home to pavement cafes and bars which are perfect for people watching as well as sitting and looking at the view. Bled is also a great pace to enjoy a few days pre or post-holiday. You'll find a 7kms footpath around the lake which is popular with local families, walkers and runners. There are also plenty of places to take a dip from including the public lido (entrance fee) or form near the camping site at the far end of the lake. In the evening there will be opportunity to meet up with the leader and head out to dinner.

Day 2
Spectacular trekking via Crn Prst to the Zorko Jelincic Hut (1835m).
Show Details
After breakfast we will take the short transfer to the Mencingarjev Hut which is situated near Bohinjska Bistrica in the Lower Bohinj Valley. As we start walking we follow the lovely Sava Bohinjka River upstream as it snakes its way through the valley. We ascend gradually through open pastureland which provides an easy start to the trek on a trail which is well marked and soft underfoot. As the path starts to get steeper, the scenery becomes more dramatic and as we pass Crna Gora - the Black Hill we can look ahead and see the course of the upper Sava River as it descends from its source, Lake Bohinj. Soft ground gives way to a rugged trail as we continue ascending before finally reaching the day's high point at Crna Prst (1844m). Today's walk ends at the Zorko Jelincic Hut (1835m), which is where we spend the night. In a remote location, this hut has water lifted by cable from the valley. Washing facilities tonight are limited but the feeling of being away from civilisation makes up for that.

Day 3
Enjoy stunning views of Lake Bohinj whilst on the trail to Razor Planina.
Show Details
This morning as we set out we are immediately rewarded with a stunning panorama which includes a bird's eye view of the largest glacial lake in Slovenia, Lake Bohinj. We're now in the Bohinj Mountains and today's spectacular ridge walk provides a feeling of closeness to nature. Up here the trails are relatively little-used and there is a sense of peace and tranquillity, as well as breath-taking scenery. Part of today's trail is along a ridge which has narrow sections and a few areas of scrambling. As we approach Rodica (1966m) we'll be walking on the border separating the two counties of Gorenjska and Primorska. Gorenjska is the mountainous region of Slovenia whilst Primorska is the lush region with gently rolling hills all the way to the coast. As we walk we'll see perfectly the two contrasting areas: towering limestone mountains to the right and rich green valleys to the left. and if we're really lucky we'll be able to see as far as the sea. In the afternoon we head over the top of Mount Vogel (1922m), one of Slovenia's most successful ski resorts before today's trail finishes at the Razor Planina Hut (1300m) where we spend tonight.

Day 4
Trek to the Dom na Komni Hut over the Skrbina Pass (1981m).
Show Details
Today we say goodbye to the Razor Planina Hut and head even further into the Triglav National Park. As Slovenia's only national park this incredible showcase of nature is home to golden eagles, black grouse, red deer, marmots, chamois and ibex. We'll keep our eyes peeled too for the magnificent mouflon, a breed of wild sheep that is very distinct due to its enormous curved horns. During the summer months it is not unusual to see griffon vultures soaring ahead. These magnificent birds nest in neighbouring Croatia and it is not unusual to occasionally spot them. Flora in the park includes the pretty yellow Triglav Hawksbeard, bell flowers, gentians, the rare Edelweiss and tiny blue King of the Alps. If we are lucky we may spot the pink cinquefoil or Triglav Rose, which the national park gets its name from. As we travel through a rugged limestone landscape, we follow forest trails up to the tree line and then continue climbing to our high point - Skrbina pass (1891m). Translated as Tooth Pass, crossing over the pass is a highlight of today as we follow rugged trails that turn into scree as we near the top of the pass. Our descent takes us through pretty alpine pastures to reach our overnight at Dom na Komni Hut. Here we'll have an uninterrupted view of Lake Bohinj and hopefully see a fantastic sunset.

Day 5
Head to Prehodavci nestled in the Valley of the Triglav Lakes .
Show Details
This morning we'll have time to enjoy a magnificent morning view of the lake. Lake Bohinj is 4.2km long and 1km wide making it the largest glacier lake in the country and it is incredibly beautiful. The lake is fed by the stream Savica which flows from the Black Lake or Crno Jezero, the lowest lying lake in the Valley of the Seven Lakes. The whole atmosphere and setting of Lake Bohinj is beautiful due to the limited development on its shores and magnificent ring of mountains that circle the crystal clear water. After taking plenty of photos we'll leave the hut and walk into a hidden valley following mountain trails which take us towards the famed Valley of the Seven Lakes. These pretty mountain lakes each have their own colour and are strung like jewels between the peaks. Walking through the valley we'll pass the lakes of Ice, Green and Yellow. Today's scenery is starkly beautiful and the landscape is a world away from the green slopes of the lower valleys. Tonight we overnight in the Prehodavci Hut (2071m) which is one of the smallest huts in the park. Due to an extremely remote location, tonight we sleep in the loveliest setting in the Valley of the Triglav Lakes.

Day 6
Dramatic trekking via Dolic Saddle (2164m) to Dom Planika Hut (2402m)
Show Details
Fingers crossed we'll wake up to a clear morning and a fantastic view especially down into Trenta Valley. We'll be surrounded by steep limestone peaks as we walk today but nothing can prepare us for the close up Mount Triglav (2864m) with its bare rock slopes and dramatic ridges. The path becomes progressively more rugged as we pass the plateau of Hribarice (2306m) and the saddle of Dolic (2164m) as we make our way to Dom Planika Hut (2402m). Dom Planika Hut mountain refuge has a particularly rugged setting and is one of the most popular place to stay before climbing Triglav and a great place to meet fellow trekkers. Close by is Kredarica Hut, not only the highest mountain hut in Slovenia, but also the highest meteorological station in the country. It stands on a small plateau just under the peak of Kredarica nestled on a ridge between Rjavina and Triglav. Sitting a few metres away is a chapel dedicated to Our Lady of the Snows. (Please note there are two huts on the shoulders of Triglav: Kredarica and Planika. Depending on the time of the year and availability we may use either of them. However this doesn't affect the length of trekking days, the logistics for climbing Triglav or the overall holiday experience). On reaching the hut the leader will check the weather conditions of time available before deciding if we will attempt Triglav today or in the morning.

Day 7
Exciting climb to the summit of Mount Triglav (2864m) before returning to Lake Bled.
Show Details
If we have not climbed Mount Triglav the previous day we'll have an early start for the optional ascent to the summit of the highest peak in Slovenia. We'll leave our daypacks at the hut and travel light on the ascent along the main ridge which has exposure but is very well protected by cables. Wearing our helmets and harnesses we cross scrambling sections which are truly excellent alongside a breath-taking setting and stunning views. As we focus on the ridge, the climb to the summit will pass quickly and before we know it, we'll be stood on the highest point in Slovenia. The views from the top are simply stunning and include the peaks of the Julian Alps whilst the valleys of Kot, Krma, Vrata and Trenta are spread out below. We'll clearly see the neighbouring peaks in Italy and if the weather is clear we'll be able to see as far as the Grossglockner, the highest mountain in Austria. After taking the all-important summit photos and enjoying one of the most jaw-dropping panoramas in Europe, we return to the hut to collect our bags and start the walk out via the hut at Vodnikov and the dense forest of Pokljuka. It's a great way back down to the rich forest of Pokljuka where we meet the road at Rudno Polje (1340m). Here we pick up our transport for the 30mins drive back to Bled. This evening we'll head out for dinner and am sure we'll end up celebrating an excellent holiday, hopefully with a few local schnapps!

[title] => Trek to the Dom na Komni Hut over the Skrbina Pass (1981m).
[introduction] =>
[description] => Today we say goodbye to the Razor Planina Hut and head even further into the Triglav National Park. As Slovenia's only national park this incredible showcase of nature is home to golden eagles, black grouse, red deer, marmots, chamois and ibex. We'll keep our eyes peeled too for the magnificent mouflon, a breed of wild sheep that is very distinct due to its enormous curved horns. During the summer months it is not unusual to see griffon vultures soaring ahead. These magnificent birds nest in neighbouring Croatia and it is not unusual to occasionally spot them. Flora in the park includes the pretty yellow Triglav Hawksbeard, bell flowers, gentians, the rare Edelweiss and tiny blue King of the Alps. If we are lucky we may spot the pink cinquefoil or Triglav Rose, which the national park gets its name from. As we travel through a rugged limestone landscape, we follow forest trails up to the tree line and then continue climbing to our high point - Skrbina pass (1891m). Translated as Tooth Pass, crossing over the pass is a highlight of today as we follow rugged trails that turn into scree as we near the top of the pass. Our descent takes us through pretty alpine pastures to reach our overnight at Dom na Komni Hut. Here we'll have an uninterrupted view of Lake Bohinj and hopefully see a fantastic sunset.

[title] => Meet at the group hotel in Bled. A timed transfer from Ljubljana Airport is included.
[introduction] =>
[description] => Meet at the group hotel in Bled. A timed transfer from Ljubljana Airport is included. The pretty town of Bled is located on the shores of Lake Bled and is surrounded by a magnificent Julian Alps backdrop. With its charming church, fairy-tale island and magnificent medieval castle, Bled is also home to lake waters fed by natural springs and is a fantastic place for a swim. The relaxed promenade is home to pavement cafes and bars which are perfect for people watching as well as sitting and looking at the view. Bled is also a great pace to enjoy a few days pre or post-holiday. You'll find a 7kms footpath around the lake which is popular with local families, walkers and runners. There are also plenty of places to take a dip from including the public lido (entrance fee) or form near the camping site at the far end of the lake. In the evening there will be opportunity to meet up with the leader and head out to dinner.

[title] => Enjoy stunning views of Lake Bohinj whilst on the trail to Razor Planina.
[introduction] =>
[description] => This morning as we set out we are immediately rewarded with a stunning panorama which includes a bird's eye view of the largest glacial lake in Slovenia, Lake Bohinj. We're now in the Bohinj Mountains and today's spectacular ridge walk provides a feeling of closeness to nature. Up here the trails are relatively little-used and there is a sense of peace and tranquillity, as well as breath-taking scenery. Part of today's trail is along a ridge which has narrow sections and a few areas of scrambling. As we approach Rodica (1966m) we'll be walking on the border separating the two counties of Gorenjska and Primorska. Gorenjska is the mountainous region of Slovenia whilst Primorska is the lush region with gently rolling hills all the way to the coast. As we walk we'll see perfectly the two contrasting areas: towering limestone mountains to the right and rich green valleys to the left. and if we're really lucky we'll be able to see as far as the sea. In the afternoon we head over the top of Mount Vogel (1922m), one of Slovenia's most successful ski resorts before today's trail finishes at the Razor Planina Hut (1300m) where we spend tonight.

[title] => Head to Prehodavci nestled in the Valley of the Triglav Lakes .
[introduction] =>
[description] => This morning we'll have time to enjoy a magnificent morning view of the lake. Lake Bohinj is 4.2km long and 1km wide making it the largest glacier lake in the country and it is incredibly beautiful. The lake is fed by the stream Savica which flows from the Black Lake or Crno Jezero, the lowest lying lake in the Valley of the Seven Lakes. The whole atmosphere and setting of Lake Bohinj is beautiful due to the limited development on its shores and magnificent ring of mountains that circle the crystal clear water. After taking plenty of photos we'll leave the hut and walk into a hidden valley following mountain trails which take us towards the famed Valley of the Seven Lakes. These pretty mountain lakes each have their own colour and are strung like jewels between the peaks. Walking through the valley we'll pass the lakes of Ice, Green and Yellow. Today's scenery is starkly beautiful and the landscape is a world away from the green slopes of the lower valleys. Tonight we overnight in the Prehodavci Hut (2071m) which is one of the smallest huts in the park. Due to an extremely remote location, tonight we sleep in the loveliest setting in the Valley of the Triglav Lakes.

[title] => Exciting climb to the summit of Mount Triglav (2864m) before returning to Lake Bled.
[introduction] =>
[description] => If we have not climbed Mount Triglav the previous day we'll have an early start for the optional ascent to the summit of the highest peak in Slovenia. We'll leave our daypacks at the hut and travel light on the ascent along the main ridge which has exposure but is very well protected by cables. Wearing our helmets and harnesses we cross scrambling sections which are truly excellent alongside a breath-taking setting and stunning views. As we focus on the ridge, the climb to the summit will pass quickly and before we know it, we'll be stood on the highest point in Slovenia. The views from the top are simply stunning and include the peaks of the Julian Alps whilst the valleys of Kot, Krma, Vrata and Trenta are spread out below. We'll clearly see the neighbouring peaks in Italy and if the weather is clear we'll be able to see as far as the Grossglockner, the highest mountain in Austria. After taking the all-important summit photos and enjoying one of the most jaw-dropping panoramas in Europe, we return to the hut to collect our bags and start the walk out via the hut at Vodnikov and the dense forest of Pokljuka. It's a great way back down to the rich forest of Pokljuka where we meet the road at Rudno Polje (1340m). Here we pick up our transport for the 30mins drive back to Bled. This evening we'll head out for dinner and am sure we'll end up celebrating an excellent holiday, hopefully with a few local schnapps!

[title] => Spectacular trekking via Crn Prst to the Zorko Jelincic Hut (1835m).
[introduction] =>
[description] => After breakfast we will take the short transfer to the Mencingarjev Hut which is situated near Bohinjska Bistrica in the Lower Bohinj Valley. As we start walking we follow the lovely Sava Bohinjka River upstream as it snakes its way through the valley. We ascend gradually through open pastureland which provides an easy start to the trek on a trail which is well marked and soft underfoot. As the path starts to get steeper, the scenery becomes more dramatic and as we pass Crna Gora - the Black Hill we can look ahead and see the course of the upper Sava River as it descends from its source, Lake Bohinj. Soft ground gives way to a rugged trail as we continue ascending before finally reaching the day's high point at Crna Prst (1844m). Today's walk ends at the Zorko Jelincic Hut (1835m), which is where we spend the night. In a remote location, this hut has water lifted by cable from the valley. Washing facilities tonight are limited but the feeling of being away from civilisation makes up for that.

[title] => Dramatic trekking via Dolic Saddle (2164m) to Dom Planika Hut (2402m)
[introduction] =>
[description] => Fingers crossed we'll wake up to a clear morning and a fantastic view especially down into Trenta Valley. We'll be surrounded by steep limestone peaks as we walk today but nothing can prepare us for the close up Mount Triglav (2864m) with its bare rock slopes and dramatic ridges. The path becomes progressively more rugged as we pass the plateau of Hribarice (2306m) and the saddle of Dolic (2164m) as we make our way to Dom Planika Hut (2402m). Dom Planika Hut mountain refuge has a particularly rugged setting and is one of the most popular place to stay before climbing Triglav and a great place to meet fellow trekkers. Close by is Kredarica Hut, not only the highest mountain hut in Slovenia, but also the highest meteorological station in the country. It stands on a small plateau just under the peak of Kredarica nestled on a ridge between Rjavina and Triglav. Sitting a few metres away is a chapel dedicated to Our Lady of the Snows. (Please note there are two huts on the shoulders of Triglav: Kredarica and Planika. Depending on the time of the year and availability we may use either of them. However this doesn't affect the length of trekking days, the logistics for climbing Triglav or the overall holiday experience). On reaching the hut the leader will check the weather conditions of time available before deciding if we will attempt Triglav today or in the morning.

Joining Arrangements & Transfers
The group will meet at the hotel in Ljubljana.
A single timed transfer is provided from / to Ljubljana Airport.
Hotel contact details and an emergency number will be provided with your booking confirmation.
Meal Plan
Breakfasts and 5 dinners (whilst trekking) are included in the holiday price and lunches can be bought at huts along the way. Extra snacks can be purchased from one of the supermarkets in Bled before starting trekking. Approximately 20 Euros per day should cover lunches whilst trekking. We do not encourage the purchasing of single use plastic bottles and recommend that you take a filter bottle (such as a Water-To-Go bottle) or purification tablets. However, if it has been a dry summer, water availability at the huts may be limited and so it may be necessary to buy bottled water at the huts. This can cost up to €10/bottle at some huts and you should budget accordingly.
Food & Water
Water from the taps may not be drinkable in all locations on this trip - please check with your guide. We recommend taking water purification tablets and a reusable bottle with a filter such as Water-to-Go, which can both be used to help make safe other water sources. Please note that we do not encourage the purchase of single use plastic bottles.
Slovenian cuisine is very much influenced by its neighbours of Austria, Italy and Hungary so you’ll find a fantastic variety of food in the country.
In the huts, the food is basic and with options varying from hut to hut. Breakfasts usually consist of bread and jams with a selection of meats and cheeses and sometimes eggs plus tea and coffee. Excellent value and filling lunches of mountain soups/stews/pasta can be bought along the trail at one of the huts but usually there will be a choice of sandwiches and snacks. Dinners are normally 2 courses - either a soup with meat or a stew, risotto or a pasta dish and a vegetarian option is available, normally followed by fruit or a simple dessert. Snacks such as chocolate, trekking bars can be purchased at the huts or in the local supermarket in Bled before the trek starts. Most of the huts also have a small shop or bar facility where bottled local beers and soft drinks can be bought.
Before and after trekking, Bled has a fantastic range of restaurants with menus to suit all budgets. Popular meat dishes include pork, chicken, turkey, smoked meats, sausages, snitzels and goulashes. The country has a good selection for vegetarians too. Slovenes love colourful salads with their lunch or dinner and fresh vegetables are always available. Alongside an excellent selection of pastas, risottos and fantastic pizzas, most restaurants advertise Vegetable Plate, which is a large dish of freshly cooked vegetables alongside soya steaks or mouth-watering fried cheese. If you are lover of cheese, then Slovenian fried cheese is not to be missed!
Local deserts are wonderfully rich and a must try is the famous Cream Slice of Lake Bled, which you’ll see everywhere. Another favourite calorific cake is the mouth-watering Gibanica, a wonderful combination of poppy seeds, soft cheese, apple and filo pastry. Finally Slovenian wine is amongst some of the finest in the world. Local open wine is excellent and served by the glass, half litre or litre. Red wine which shouldn’t be missed is the velvety Teran and fruity Refosk from the coast. Whites are served ice cold with Sivi Pinot and Belo Pinot being the most popular.
Special Diets
Whilst we can cater for vegetarians, albeit sometimes with a more limited choice, we cannot always provide for special diets. Due to the nature of some of the trips that we operate and the countries in which we operate them, it can be very hard (and sometimes impossible) to cater for a wide range of dietary choices and you may have to supplement your meals with food/snacks from home. If you have specific dietary requirements please do speak to our sales team and they will be able to advise you whether or not we will be able to offer your specific choice. Please note that we are unable to provide separate menus and cannot accept liability for any problems arising from special dietary requirements or intolerances.
Accommodation
During this holiday you will spend 2 nights in a 3-star tourist class hotel in Bled. Accommodation here is twin sharing with ensuite facilities.
There are 5 nights in huts set up by the Mountaineering Association of Slovenia in the protected area of the Triglav National Park. Accommodation here is in dormitory style rooms that vary in capacity, some holding 8 persons per room and some as many as 25. Sleeping bags are not required at the huts. Bed sheets and blankets are supplied but you may prefer to bring your own cotton or silk liner. Please note that water for washing is limited at the huts, and bathroom facilities can be basic. However, overnighting in the heart of the mountains and staying in a traditional mountain hut, more than makes up for the lack of showers!
If you are travelling by yourself, you will be paired up with another single client of the same sex for the 2 hotel nights. Single rooms are available for a supplementary cost. Single rooms are not available in the mountain huts. If you are planning on extending your holiday additional nights at the group hotel are available on request.
Group Leader & Support Staff
During this holiday the group will be led by a locally based, professional, english-speaking mountain guide.
Altitude
This holiday involves going to moderately high altitude. During the course of your trip you will reach altitudes in excess of 2500 metres. Most people will have no difficulty with this level of altitude but before coming on the holiday, we recommend you read the advice on trekking at high altitude. You can also talk to one of our trekking experts if you have any concerns about altitude.
Spending Money
The currency in Slovenia is the Euro. We estimate that €260 will cover your personal spending and miscellaneous expenses including the above mentioned lunches and reasonable tips for the local guide. Cash can be withdrawn from ATM’s in Ljubljana Airport and in Bled using a credit card or a debit card.
Guidance on Tipping
Most people will want to tip their local guide if they have had a good experience. This is a purely personal decision and it is important to remember that tips are a way of saying 'thank you' and are not part of the wages of local staff. We recommend that any tips be given from the group as a whole rather than from individuals and that the group decides together on a level of tipping that everyone is comfortable with.
Baggage Allowance
During the holiday you'll be carrying your personal trekking equipment so it's good to keep this to a minimum. With careful planning, and considering you don't have to carry a sleeping bag or camping mattress, it should be possible to keep the weight to around 8kgs. The via ferrata safety harness and helmet required for the ascent of Triglav will be issued to you at the start of the trek as there is no place to store this equipment at the huts. As you'll be carrying this equipment with you whilst trekking it’s good to make sure you have room for it in your daypack. Your main luggage with your travel clothes etc can be left at the group hotel in Bled and as you won't be trekking with a kit bag you may find a wheeled suitcase is more suitable for travelling to and from Slovenia.
Group Size & Holiday Status
For each holiday there is a minimum number of participants required to enable it to go ahead. Once the minimum number is reached, the trip status will change from 'Available' to 'Guaranteed to run'. You can check the trip status for each departure in the ‘Dates and Prices’ table. Other than in exceptional circumstances, we will not cancel a trip once it has achieved this guaranteed to run status so you are free to proceed with your international flight booking and other travel arrangements.
Flight payment
We sell this holiday on a Land Only basis and recommend that you book your flights to Ljubljana. Please refer to the 'Joining arrangements & transfers' section in the trip dossier for further details.
Flights SHOULD NOT be booked until you have received your booking confirmation and the trip is showing 'Guaranteed to Run' or 'Limited'.
If flying from the UK there are a number of low cost airlines offering flights to Ljubljana. These include Easyjet who have flights from London Stansted, Wizz Air from London Luton and Adria Airways who have flights from London, Manchester, Edinburgh & East Midlands. Other airports may be available. Click on the 'Flight information' link below for further information on booking low cost airlines. Alternatively if you would prefer to book a 'flight inclusive package' using scheduled airlines from the UK please contact our flights department for a quote. Whilst flight prices are likely to be more expensive you will benefit from full financial protection.
Passport & Visas
Europe
Your passport must meet 2 requirements. It must be:
less than 10 years old on the day you enter (check the ‘date of issue’)
valid for at least 3 months after the day you plan to leave (check the ‘expiry date’)
For the latest details on visiting countries within the EU or the European Economic Area (EEA), please check the UK Government website
The information that we provide is for UK passport holders.
A passport with 6 months remaining validity at the end of your stay is generally required, and you should have at least 2 blank pages for each country that you visit.
For other nationalities, please refer to your own Government website for the latest information.
It is your responsibility to ensure that you have the correct travel documents including vaccinations and health certificates (see Health & Vaccinations below), and visas for your holiday. Please ensure that you check the FCDO for the latest advice for each country visited before travel.
Health & Vaccinations
Vaccinations
You should contact your doctor or travel clinic to check whether you require any specific vaccinations.
GHIC / Medical cover
UK residents should carry a free Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC). This entitles you to state provided medical treatment when you're visiting an EU country or Switzerland. This is not a substitute for medical travel insurance which is vital when travelling overseas.
Severe Allergies
If you have a severe allergy please inform the KE office before you travel. We will do all we can to help, but we cannot guarantee an allergy free environment on KE trips. You will need to carry your own treatment for the allergy with you, as 'adrenaline auto-injectors' are not carried as standard by KE leaders and staff. You should inform your leader on arrival of your allergy, and let them know where you keep your adrenaline pen.
Currency
The currency for part or all of this holiday is the Euro.
Preparing for your Holiday
It makes a lot of sense to spend some time before coming on a trekking or climbing trip getting some additional exercise. The fitter you are, after all, the more enjoyable you will find the experience. We would suggest that you adopt a weekly exercise regime leading up to your trip. Running, cycling and swimming are good for developing better stamina. Before departure, we suggest that you try to fit in a number of long walks in hilly country.
Climate
From July to September the weather is generally very good. We can expect daytime valley temperatures in the range 24 – 30°C in July and August, dropping to around 15°C overnight. September temperatures will be a few degrees cooler and whilst high up in the mountains temperatures will also be cooler but should be comfortable for trekking in shorts and short sleeved shirts (should you wish). As with any alpine area there is the risk of some unstable weather. However Slovenia usually enjoys a very pleasant and stable climate and we should expect mainly clear and sunny days even in September.
Travel Aware
As a reputable tour operator, KE supports the British Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office's ‘Travel Aware’ campaign to enable British citizens to prepare for their journeys overseas. The 'Travel Aware' website provides a single, authoritative source of advice for all kinds of travellers and we recommend that before travel, all KE clients visit the official UK Government website at travelaware.campaign.gov.uk and read the FCDO Travel Advice for their chosen destination. North Americans can also check out the U.S. Department of State website: www.travel.state.gov for essential travel advice and tips.
KE treat the safety and security of all clients as the most important aspect of any trip we organise. We would not run any trip that we did not consider reasonably safe. Should the FCDO advise against travel for any reason, we will contact everyone booked to travel to discuss the situation. We receive regular updates directly from the FCDO and are in constant touch with our contacts on the ground. If you have any questions about government travel advice, please call our office.
Single Use Plastic
KE do not encourage the use of single use plastic items. We are ensuring that our agents all over the world are working together to reduce the problem and educate those around them. We are leading by example in our KE office by reducing our plastic use.

Reviews
Triglav
This is an amazing trip , the people were great, the weather was great, the guides (David and Masa) were brilliant, the hiking was hard but the views were outstanding, if you’re into hiking this trip is must, thanks KE for this amazing adventure.
Beautiful traverse!
This was a very nice traverse covering what felt like a lot of the Julian Alps. The huts varied from very basic to fancier, but all were clean, friendly, and well organized. The hut food was basic (lots of stew!) but filling. Summiting Triglav is definitely the highlight--a very fun scramble! Local guide was very good. The hotel in Bled was good and all of the transport was efficient and well organized. Overall Slovenia was really beautiful--recommended!
Triglav
Wonderful memories after hut to hut immersion in the Julian Alps
Immersion into the amazing pristine alpine environment of the Julian Alps on this hut to hut trip, facilitated by KE Adventure, had me tired and emotional, in the best possible way. On a digital detox, I took very few photos but many wonderful memories remain of the experiences and the 360 degree panoramic mountain vistas that were both awesome and humbling. The daily challenges of moving over the rugged terrain with breadth taking drop offs from balcony paths to the final summit push up onto
...
Triglav were skillfully managed by our two local guides, David and MaŠa. With a high level of attention to the safety of the group and great sense of humour, they expertly led the way over the demanding and difficult undulating trails with sections of the Slovenian version of “flat” and scree running for active recovery on the hoof!. The extraordinarily diverse alpine flora en route to the first refuge of Crna Prst and all along the paths each day, was almost overwhelming in its profusion, diversity and of course dainty prettiness. The thunderstorms, typical of the climate in this southern Alps region, experienced from the safety of the refuge, with white flashes lighting up the night sky and thunder claps, would raise the hairs on the back of anyone's neck. Two Ibex bucks, unaffected by the proximity of a rambling Homo sapien, scaling the vertical limestone and going head to head, cracking horns on the precipitous cliff face, squirrels who don’t even bother running up the tree as you walk by all testify to the Slovenian commitment to protective measures for the ecosystems supporting the flora and fauna of this multi layered montane environment. The camaraderie of the trails was copper fastened by the card games of Enka in the evenings, cups of mountain tea, and a well earned beer or two. The bare necessities and communal facilities of the mountain huts give a refreshed perspective as you re-enter society after the trip. Thanks to KE for coordinating this trip and many thanks to David and MaŠa for guiding us deep into the heart of the Julian Alps and sharing the mountains of their home land.
Stunning Julian Alps and excellent V4M
Incredible scenery, wonderful food (and Slovenian wine). Two excellent guides for a group of twelve, and very good back up from local operator. Sadly the majority of the group were more interested in peak bagging than people with a real love of mountains. None of them spotted for each other, unless friends pre trip. My tips are to include industrial strength waterproofs, try the thermal spas/nude saunas for achy muscles and not to expect a group ethic (except from the guides).
Traveller Reviews
Triglav
This is an amazing trip , the people were great, the weather was great, the guides (David and Masa) were brilliant, the hiking was hard but the views were outstanding, if you’re into hiking this trip is must, thanks KE for this amazing adventure.
Beautiful traverse!
This was a very nice traverse covering what felt like a lot of the Julian Alps. The huts varied from very basic to fancier, but all were clean, friendly, and well organized. The hut food was basic (lots of stew!) but filling. Summiting Triglav is definitely the highlight--a very fun scramble! Local guide was very good. The hotel in Bled was good and all of the transport was efficient and well organized. Overall Slovenia was really beautiful--recommended!

Wonderful memories after hut to hut immersion in the Julian Alps
Immersion into the amazing pristine alpine environment of the Julian Alps on this hut to hut trip, facilitated by KE Adventure, had me tired and emotional, in the best possible way. On a digital detox, I took very few photos but many wonderful memories remain of the experiences and the 360 degree panoramic mountain vistas that were both awesome and humbling. The daily challenges of moving over the rugged terrain with breadth taking drop offs from balcony paths to the final summit push up onto
...
Triglav were skillfully managed by our two local guides, David and MaŠa. With a high level of attention to the safety of the group and great sense of humour, they expertly led the way over the demanding and difficult undulating trails with sections of the Slovenian version of “flat” and scree running for active recovery on the hoof!. The extraordinarily diverse alpine flora en route to the first refuge of Crna Prst and all along the paths each day, was almost overwhelming in its profusion, diversity and of course dainty prettiness. The thunderstorms, typical of the climate in this southern Alps region, experienced from the safety of the refuge, with white flashes lighting up the night sky and thunder claps, would raise the hairs on the back of anyone's neck. Two Ibex bucks, unaffected by the proximity of a rambling Homo sapien, scaling the vertical limestone and going head to head, cracking horns on the precipitous cliff face, squirrels who don’t even bother running up the tree as you walk by all testify to the Slovenian commitment to protective measures for the ecosystems supporting the flora and fauna of this multi layered montane environment. The camaraderie of the trails was copper fastened by the card games of Enka in the evenings, cups of mountain tea, and a well earned beer or two. The bare necessities and communal facilities of the mountain huts give a refreshed perspective as you re-enter society after the trip. Thanks to KE for coordinating this trip and many thanks to David and MaŠa for guiding us deep into the heart of the Julian Alps and sharing the mountains of their home land.

Great walking trip with lots of scrambling
We loved this trip. You get the chance to spend a lot of time relatively high walking on interesting and quiet trails. There is plenty of scrambling, some on nearly every day which keeps it interesting. While the distances don't look huge compared to some trips, most of the days were full. Views are superb and we got to see a decent amount of wildlife. We were unfortunate to have a day in the clouds but even then it remained enjoyable. The huts are "interesting". Come prepared for basic
...
conditions. They are all warm, dry and relatively clean and pleasant enough. Food and drink was expensive in the huts as you would expect, so make sure you have enough money, take more if you like more than a beer or two in the evening. I would have taken more snacks as while the meals were often good, there were sometimes long gaps between them. It got cold on our trip in September. Below freezing on Triglav. There's easily enough to do in Bled to kill a few days and the Hotel we stayed in on the trip was nice. We were glad of an extra couple of days of luxury after the trip before heading home. Getting yourself to the airport is very simple with GoOpti.
A challenging but enormously rewarding trip in a stunningly beautiful area
A tough walk but so worthwhile with enormously diverse experiences every day. What a beautiful and unspoiled part of Europe, made all the more enjoyable by knowledgeable, skilled and engaging Slovenian leaders. David and Miha were absolutely superb, probably the best I’ve had in 25 years of trekking, sorry to hear that David might be stopping soon but Miha is a gem. The hut-to-hut nature of the trip meant one is fully immersed in the locality with changing experiences and views every day.
...
Particular highlights were the long traverse on Day 3, visiting historical features associated with WW1, the 7 lakes valley valley and then the ultimate culmination of climbing Triglav. Like others we were surprised quite how expensive buying water in the huts was (beer or Radler is cheaper!) and occasionally a hot drink was not included with breakfast which seemed mean. Otherwise the arrangements were perfect. Thanks!
The stunning Julian Alps
Fantastic trip. The Julian alps are stunning. Climb up Triglav fabulous. Hints and tips: weather can be unpredictable. Can be very hot need to carry lots of water or for us, thunder lightening and heavy rain. Trip can change because of this. Need to buy water in the huts which is exoensive 4.50 euros! Just drink beer much cheaper. Group flight easy and Raddison Blu airport booked on line very reasonable. Walking in the alps incredible stony/shaly paths. Walking poles can be good for descent.
...
Pack even lighter than you think! Huts good, food good. Buy your snacks etc in the supermarket in Bled, expensive in the huts. Local wine nice. Great trip I will probably do again and see the bits I missed.

Absolutely loved it
This is a great trekking holiday. Spectacular point to point walking. The Triglav summit is exposed but exhilarating, with fixed chains I felt safe the entire time and our guides David and Miha were superb. In the first week of September the trails were virtually empty. The hut food was good, you don't get many showers, but I don't think any of us cared :-)

Great walking trip
Great hiking. Some tough bits but the days were never too long. Knowledgeable and friendly guides. We unfortunately walked in a cloud for a few days but whenever the clouds parted the views were gorgeous. The huts are generally basic but fine - you appreciate a bit of warmth and comfort food after the hiking!
What a great advert for Slovenia!
Excellent walking. Full of challenges. Brilliant guides (Miha and David - thank you so much). Tip 1 - it's easy to miss that lunch and water need to be purchased each day. You should budget at least €150 for this. Tip 2 - stay an extra night in Ribcev Laz, on the shores of Lake Bohinj, at the end of the trip. Lovely spot, and an opportunity for some extra walking.
Excellent hut to hut mountain trek
This is a really excellent hut to hut high mountain trek, culminating in a reasonably challenging ascent of Triglav. There is a good amount of ascent and/or descent on each of the days, so quite consistent in terms of effort. Beautiful scenery and flora. Our guides - Boogie and David - were excellent. Very professional, good company and both helpful and considerate of the varying degrees of fitness and age in the group. KE needs to update its route itinerary - we bypassed the Skrbino pass as we
...
were told that this hasn't been used for a few years by the guides because of the state of the scree; also, our last hut before Triglav was Planika rather than Kredarica, which also meant that the ascent is done from the south rather than the north. The huts ranged from very good to satisfactory. Razor and Komni, on nights two and three respectively, were the pick of the bunch. All were friendly and service was good. Tips for others - water limited and only one three minute shower available, in middle of week on night three, so take plenty of wet wipes; availability and range of food can also be quite limited so would recommend taking vitamin/isotonic tablets for adding to drinking water for added nutrition/energy, also other food supplements as desired e.g. fruit, nuts etc. All in all a great trek and highly recommended. supplements as desired.
A truly amazing trip. Fantastic value for money!!!

A First Class Hiking Holiday
I've just returned from a challenging but really enjoyable hiking holiday in the Julian Alps which are stunning and far less busy than similar Alpine areas further north. Climbing Triglav was awe inspiring and the views from the summit were memorable, the skies having been washed clean by a magnificent storm earlier in the week. Our small group was blessed by having Katja as our guide; always cheerful and encouraging with a lovely sense of humour. Given the earlier storms, she had to rearrange
...
our itinerary from day one which she did seamlessly and without any fuss. Would thoroughly recommend this hike to anybody who fancies a spot of scrambling and ridge walking.
Incredible trek through the magnificent Julian Alps
This trek is challenging, even for experienced hikers, but worth every step. Katjia and David were incredible guides, funny, friendly, extremely professional and knew the trail and terrain extremely well. They truly made the trip, as did the beauty of the alps!
A great trek - disappointing not to summit Triglav
This was an excellent trip with a great group and superb guides in David and Katja. Only downside was not being able to summit. Although nothing could be done about the poor weather on the Thursday afternoon and Friday morning which was the window for the peak, I do feel that the summit attempt could have been prioritised more. The Prehodavci hut was a brilliant experience and I can see why an overnight stop is part of the itinerary but I do believe that to maximise our chances of summiting
...
Triglav, we could have walked through less than 2 hours to the Dolicu hut. This would have resulted in reaching Planika before 10am and would have massively increased our chances of making the summit which we only missed by around 1 hour. The upside is that I'll have to make another visit to Slovenia in the future to resume unfinished business!
sLOVEnia
Excellent trip. Lovely views and hotel at Lake Bled at either end of the trail. Fabulous hiking on exhilarating trails, with rustic mountain hut accommodation and hearty food. The ascent of Triglav at the end of the trip is a fitting finale. Great guides, well organised and a wonderful country.
A very good week walking in a stunning part of the world.
We were originally booked on a guaranteed trip to the Julian Alps in September but this was cancelled because people dropped out eight weeks before departure and we were advised to switch to this earlier trip. This was not cost free. Although KE paid the administrative charges to change our Easyjet flights we had to pay for more expensive flights. So beware. Guaranteed does not mean guaranteed and the financial risk falls primarily on the customer not KE if you have booked your own flights.
...
While still on the issue of flights we drove two and a half hours to Stansted to catch what was listed as the group flight only to have to wait for an hour at Ljubljana airport for a flight from Manchester to arrive. Manchester airport is 30 minutes from our home. We thought that to take advantage of the free transfer you had to arrive before the group flight not after it. Greater information about flight options would be appreciated. To move on. Slovenia is a beautiful country and the area around Lake Bled and the Jullian Alps is stunning. It was a shame that we could not stay in a hotel in Bled as originally advertised on the first and last day. The hotel in Ribnio was OK (apart from the breakfast coffee which was the worst we have ever tasted) but too far outside of Bled to explore the town properly. The walking on this trip is up there with the best we have done. It is hard but worth it. The mountain huts (with the exception of the Triglav hut) are very good. Clean and friendly. The Triglav hut is very busy and has not received adequate investment. It was the only hut with dirty toilets and no toilet paper. The final climb up Triglav is long, steep, exposed in places, but well-protected with wires. It is also very busy with bottlenecks meaning considerable waiting. The summit was very crowded (think Snowdon on a bank holiday). Finally, I'd like to praise our guides David and Luka. They were friendly, relaxed, but very efficient.
KE Adventure reply
Thank you for your review and we are sorry for the issues you have mentioned prior to the start of your holiday. When we received cancellations for the departure on which you were originally booked, we offered to transfer you to an alternative departure, initially and principally because you had told us you did not wish to travel in a small group. We paid the penalty charges of £120 for changing the dates of the flights you had booked so you were able to switch to a departure with 10 people. We generally arrange the group transfer to fit with the most popular flight, which for this trip is from Stansted with Easyjet. As we had some clients arriving on the Slovenian airline flight from Manchester just 45 minutes later it was decided to wait for them. However, the return flight to Manchester departed over 7 hours before the Stansted flight so it would not have been possible for you to take advantage of the free transfer on your return if you had chosen to fly from Manchester. We are pleased that you found Slovenia to be a beautiful country with stunning scenery and that you thought the walking to be 'up there with the best you have ever done'. Nevertheless, we are very sorry for an inconvenience caused to you and hope that this experience does not deter you from travelling with KE again in the future.
Awesome holiday and a faultless experience with KE from start to finish.
This was my first KE holiday and first experience of hut to hut trekking. My wife and I both had a fantastic time and would highly recommend this holiday to any seasoned hill walker. Prior to booking, we read all the info KE provided about the itenerary, kit list etc. and because of this felt extremely well prepared (note: pack toilet paper - not on the kit list but needed for the final hut!!) The Slovenian guides on the trek were also very helpful and knowledgeable and we were lucky enough to
...
be trekking with a great bunch of people. Consequently we had an awesome time! If great mountain days, stunning scenery and summits that provide a sense of achievement are your thing, this holiday is highly recommended!

Spectacular, challenging & great fun!!!
This was my second mountain trekking trip with KE and it was just as brilliant as the first one in the High Tatras, Carpthian Mountains, Poland. Typically well organised with amazing guides - Katia and Bugy - who were extremely competent and worked well as a team to ensure the well being and enjoyment of us all. The scenery varies from pine forest to exposed mountain paths to valleys covered in wild flowers - all jaw droppingly lovely with views to die for! We experienced all weather from sun
...
(4 days) to rain (1 day) to snow (half a day), and note to self in future is to pack as lightly as possible and layer up for possibly cold nights high up in the huts. Walking poles are very helpful if, like me, you find descending steep scree covered paths tricky! The mountain hut food was tasty and sustaining. I was lucky enough to be in a group of great people, and we all had a fantastic time!!!

Beautiful
Spectacular 2nd day traversing ridge with stunning scenery. the landscape was varied and each day offered something new and interesting. Some huts were really nice with small bunk rooms for 2 to 4 people, running water and indoor toilets. a few huts were very basic with large bunk rooms for over 30 people, pit toilet and no running water. Guides, David and Katja, looked after the group very well and always clearly explained what to expect each day. Great group of fellow trekkers. The ascent of

Mt Triglav was a lot of fun with incredible expansive views at the top. I do not like heights, but loved the via ferrata climb on mt Triglav and always felt very safe and secure with the cables and harness.
