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

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.
