Amid Slovenia’s steep mountain slopes and technical rocky terrain that often have a discouraging effect on families with children, Pokljuka Plateau hits the sweet spot between an undemanding walking turf and a first-row view of the Julian Alps.

Meandering through the woods of Pokljuka, you will follow the trail across authentic mountain pastures, sip on homemade sour milk, and catch yourself stealing glances at Mt. Triglav, Slovenia’s highest mountain.

Elevated between Bled and Bohinj, Pokljuka Plateau is the ideal place for a family hiking adventure. Its ground is relatively flat, only gradually rising towards the mountain peaks of Debela Peč, Mrežce, Viševnik, and others above the Krma Valley.

Short hiking stages take you to two authentic mountain huts, Blejska Hut and Uskovnica Hut, where you will spend your nights. In case of an emergency, there are several escape routes to take you back to Goreljek, as you will never be too far from the main road, even though you will barely feel it.

In any case, we will be available for support during your hike. We will also book your places in the mountain huts in advance and equip you with a detailed handbook, including a GPS track with phone-app navigation. You can also get a guide upon your request.

The sooner you book the tour with us, the larger your chances of getting a spot in the mountain huts!

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.
