From the thrill of standing on the summit of Mount Triglav to the tranquility of the Seven Lakes Valley and the emerald flow of the Soča River, this trek is designed to showcase the full spectrum of Slovenia’s mountain magic.

With a certified mountain guide, you’ll tackle the exposed sections and fixed cables on the upper ridges of the ascent of Mount Triglav (2,864 m) with full safety support and all necessary equipment provided.

You will become a part of a deeply rooted Slovenian transition as you’ll pose for a photo next to Aljaž Tower at the top of Slovenia’s highest peak.

After the climb, you’ll explore the trails on your own as they open into the diverse landscapes of the Julian Alps.

You’ll make your way through the legendary Seven Lakes Valley, where a string of glacial lakes is framed by dramatic limestone peaks. The self-guided journey then carries you along the emerald waters of the Soča River, often called the most beautiful river in Europe, and across the Komna Plateau, a remote alpine area that combines natural wonder with traces of wartime history.

The trek then concludes at Lake Bohinj, the largest and most tranquil lake in Slovenia. Surrounded by forests and traditional villages, it’s the perfect place to rest, swim, or simply take in the mountain views after days on the trail.

With its mix of guided summit and self-guided exploration, this tour is a complete alpine experience – one that captures both the adventure and the serenity of Slovenia’s high mountains. And if you're unsure if ascending Mt. Triglav is something you're willing to try, you can always opt for our The Best Julian Alps and Soča Valley Hike.

To ensure you get the most out of your hike, we’ll take care of everything: overnight stays in welcoming mountain huts are booked in advance, and you’ll be equipped with a digital guidebook, GPS tracks, and on-trip support.

All that’s left for you to do is pack and hit the trails!

Frequently Asked Questions

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. Some freshwater sources are also 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 half-board is included in the price.
