Can’t decide between the beauty of hut-to-hut hiking and the thrill of climbing Triglav? The good news is – you don’t have to!
You can discover the wild heart of Slovenia on a high-alpine journey that blends the country’s most iconic long-distance trail with the unforgettable ascent of its highest peak, Mount Triglav.
This tour is designed for experienced hikers who want to discover the diversity of Slovenia’s alpine landscape on foot, with a mix of self-guided exploration and a professionally guided ascent to the top of Triglav.
The Slovenian Mountain Trail takes you through some of the most impressive and varied terrain in the Julian Alps and Karawanks – two distinct mountain ranges, each with their own character.
From the Karawank’s open ridgelines and soft alpine pastures, you’ll transition deeper into the Julian Alps, where trails weave through limestone peaks and high-mountain valleys, following glacier-fed streams into the heart of Triglav National Park.
The true highlight of the tour is the ascent of Mount Triglav (2,864 m), a national symbol and rite of passage for Slovenians.
Unlike the rest of the route, which is fully self-guided, the climb to the summit is done with a certified mountain guide. This ensures safety and confidence on the upper sections of the mountain, which include exposed ridge walking and via ferrata-style climbing secured with fixed cables.
We handle the logistics so you can focus on the trail. Accommodations are pre-booked, and you’ll receive a digital guidebook with detailed trail notes, GPS tracks, and practical tips to keep you on course.
With our support in the background, you’ll have the freedom of a self-guided hike with the added assurance of professional guidance on the summit day.
So lace up your hiking boots and get ready to experience the best of both worlds!
Frequently Asked Questions
Ratings & Reviews


I had an absolutely wonderful experience with Hut to Hut Hiking. They were exceedingly responsive, patiently answering my many emails' worth of questions about itineraries, schedules, logistics, and the like as I planned a self-guided trip. They helped to create an absolutely perfect trek despite the limited time I had and they provided helpful information for me to organize travel to and from the start and end points. Hut to Hut's communication is professional and the itinerary and GPS tracking information they sent me once I paid/booked was flawless. The trails were easy to follow, Ride with GPS worked perfectly (I was already familiar with the app), and I was so grateful to have relied on a company to facilitate my route in a country where I was unfamiliar. I'm used to planning my own routes, but Hut to Hut Hiking's expertise and insight made the entire experience infinitely more pleasant. I would highly recommend using Hut to Hut for your multi-day hiking needs in Slovenia. It's worth it!


A fantastic 3 day self guided Hut to Hut hike around Triglav National Park in Slovenia. We experienced a full range of weather which made it an unforgettable trip. The organisation and back up support with GPS maps etc was excellent. Hut staff were friendly and very happy to give advice and suggestions on the routes and directions. Would recommend.


Exceptional “Panorama 3 day Hike to Pokjuka Plateau” October 6-8. Stayed first night at Hotel Jelka (which I highly recommend) because Blejska hut was fully booked. The hotel is a nice option as it has been fully renovated and is close to the hut but offers hot showers and a private room! Second night was at Uskovnica hut which could use updating but offers lots of outdoor patio space, hot & cold running water and indoor flush toilets, much appreciated. It is accessible to day hikers so busy mid afternoon on a sunny Sunday! My guide Klemen, was incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, helpful and kind! Every detail of our route was carefully planned to make the experience perfect for me. Assistance was generously offered and accepted through rough scree coming down from the shoulder. Pace and snack breaks were set to meet my needs exactly and Klemen is a super friendly person. I was alerted about dangerous karst crevices and places where there were steep steps and tricky spots to navigate. All of which made my experience stress-free and fun, as well as extremely safe. I can’t find enough words to express how much I recommend Triglav Tours and particularly my guide Klemen Gerbec. Triglav National Park is spectacular- don’t miss it!


My friends and I did a 3 day hut-to-hut hike in Triglav National Park this summer and loved it! Our guide, Bine, was very knowledgeable and provided necessary equipment and fun facts through the hike. We really enjoyed the via ferrata experience and we were happy to have someone guide us through the more technical aspects. The overnights in the huts were a blast with our guide and the other girls on our tour as well. Great way to see Triglav National park and meet new people! I cannot recommend Triglav tours enough!!
