Join us on hiking tours in the Slovenian Alps, where you will experience all the joys of walking in the Alps, including stunning views, fresh mountain air, and wildlife encounters that you can only experience above a certain elevation.
Staying overnight in traditional mountain huts, you will get the opportunity to try typical homemade dishes and learn about Slovenian mountaineering culture.
Discover the crystal clear and ice-cold water of the Triglav Lakes, explore the mountain pastures that are part of a shepherding tradition that is several hundred years old, marvel at the emerald river of Soča and the idyllic beauty of the Lepena Valley, find WWI remnants on Komna, and stroll around the mesmerizing Bohinj Lake.
We offer guided hikes with experienced hiking guides, who will help you throughout your journey and share their vast knowledge about the region. You can also choose independent self-guided hiking tours with supporting maps, directions, and descriptions of the hiking trail and mountain hut reservations.
For more adventurous souls, customized hiking tours are available. You will get away from the busy popular trails and get a truly authentic experience in the tranquility of the Alps with higher chances of spotting wild animals.
It’s the moment most hikers hopelessly fall in love with the valley of the Triglav Lakes — a lake of crystal clear water and a hut nestled on its northern shore. It’s the highlight of our Seven Lakes Valley Hut to Hut Hike.
Being up there is for experienced hikers only, but the view of its commanding presence above the Julian Alps is enough to make Mt. Triglav the focal point of your reminiscence. It’s nothing strange we call it the Triglav Panorama Hut to Hut Hike.
Who doesn’t love the sunset in the mountains? Especially when you’re just below the mountaintop and follow the sun as it slowly hides its face behind the jagged peaks of the Julian Alps. This can be your first evening on the Slovenian Mountain Trail Highlights Hike.
As one of the most picturesque huts in the Julian Alps, it’s only fitting that it also boasts one of the most scenic views in the country. You can experience it on The Best Julian Alps and Soča Valley Hike.
Not many places in Slovenia gave birth to as many stories as Triglav’s North Face, the cradle of Slovenian alpinism. You can watch it get caressed by the early morning light while starting a new stage on the Slovenian Mountain Trail Highlights Hike.
Most Slovenians cannot think of a prouder moment in their lives than when they stood on the summit of Mt. Triglav for the first time. With our guides, you can do it as well as a part of our Triglav 3-day Hut to Hut tour.

We have rated our tours on a scale from 1 to 5. 1 being the easiest and 5 being the most difficult.
Fitness level difficulty tells you about how fit you need to be for a tour and how much walking there is. Most of our tours are suitable for most people that are regularly active and can walk for around 5-6 hours per day with breaks.
Technical difficulty tells us about the paths we use – Level 1 means that zero hiking experience is required, while 5 is only for experienced hikers used to the exposure and basic climbing techniques.
Our guided tours are led by UIMLA or IMFGA internationally licensed guides who have completed many years of training to make your hut to hut hike both safe and enjoyable. They are passionate individuals who call the Slovenian mountains their second home and are ready to share this adventure with you.
Different huts have different options and sometimes, private rooms for 2 or 4 persons are available. It is not the rule and they require a very early booking. We will try to get you the best possible accommodation from what is available at the time of your booking.
We recommend booking as early as possible. Slovenian mountain huts are very popular and get booked up several weeks in advance, especially on weekends. If your booking is late, we will try our best to find a suitable alternative. Sometimes, last-minute spots open up. However, we cannot guarantee a free spot.
No, all of the huts provide blankets, bedding and pillows, but you can bring your own silk or cotton sleeping liner.
All of the huts offer vegetarian options and usually at least one vegan option. Still, kitchens high up are basic, so don’t expect too many choices. Huts generally serve authentic meals like stews, soups, and sausages. If you have strict dietary restrictions, consider bringing your own food as they can’t make a special meal per request.
Most high-altitude huts in Slovenia don’t have a drinking water source, but you can buy bottled water for around 4,5€ per 1,5l. You can also bring a water purifier and filter rainwater or water from the lakes. There are also some freshwater sources on the way so you never have to carry too much.
In our guided tours, we take care of the reservations for you, and you pay for the huts together with food on the spot. In most huts, you can pay with a credit card, but it is advisable to bring some cash just in case if the internet is down – After all, you’re in the mountains. If you are a member of the UIAA Alpine Association, bring your card and you will get a discount.
For our self-guided tours, the accommodation with breakfast is included in the price.
Cell reception is on and off in most parts of the Julian Alps. The reception is generally better on the peaks and exposed parts and worse in secluded valleys. Some huts offer paid wifi option, but not all.
Most of the mountain huts only operate from June to September. Some huts are open sooner and longer, but those times change from season to season according to weather and snow conditions. Read about best seasons for hiking in Slovenia.
If conditions are favourable we can make a custom tour even before June or after September.
Most of the tours can be done even in light rain, as long as you dress accordingly. It is not unusual in the summer that there are afternoon thunderstorms, so early starts are advisable. If the weather looks really bad, we will try to reschedule or propose an alternative tour.
Try to pack light, only take what you really need. You need your passport or ID for check-in, and some cash is advisable if the internet is down. Bring your sleeping liner and earplugs for the night, and toothbrush and body wipes for hygiene. You don’t need slippers, they are in the hut already.
