Day 1: Approach to Planika Hut

After we pick you up we will drive to Bohinj and start our hike. Our ascend into the mountains will start with crossing beautiful Alpine mountain pastures and seeing where the shepherds used to spend their summers, earning their living by herding sheep and cows. Some of this tradition is still preserved, and the proof lies in the sheep and cows that will greet us on our way. 

Once we reach the Vodnik lodge we will stop to rest for a bit. Then we will climb up the mountainside and arrive at our destination, the Planika Lodge just below Triglav, where we will have a hearty Slovenian dish for dinner, and get some sleep.

Day 2: Triglav Summit

In the early hours of the day we will have breakfast, and then continue our ascent on Triglav that soon becomes technically challenging. The steel cable that is set up here for protection will help you climb through these parts, along with careful assistance from your guide. The path is steep and exposed and continues on a narrow ridge towards the summit. 

Getting off the mountain is just as demanding. We will walk across the Triglav škrbina to a plateau on the west. We will descend down to the Dolič Mountain Hut and enjoy an authentic cooked meal before continuing to the Triglav Lakes Valley where we will spend the night.

Day 3: The Seven Lakes Valley

We will start our final day by tackling the steep hillside to Mala Tičarica for the view. If we feel like taking it a bit easier, we will just pass it across the slightly up and down terrain to reach the Ovčarija mountain pasture, and then the Dedno polje mountain pasture. Here we will have the option to pay a visit to a local cheese-maker, who still produces cheese the traditional way up on the pasture

We will slowly hike down to our car, and drive you back to your hotel, with the option of stopping for a swim in Lake Bohinj.

This tour gives you the chance to see the best of the breathtaking Julian Alps, and also climb Slovenia’s highest mountain, the epic Mount Triglav. Find out for yourself why this mountain is deemed the symbol of Slovenia and the most popular hike in the country. It is even said that you only become a ‘true Slovenian’ once you’ve conquered its peak.

By extending the standard two-day Triglav climb for just a day, you will get to explore the pristine high mountain lakes of the Triglav Lakes Valley, also known as the Seven Lakes Valley, and its mesmerising surrounding mountains. 

We will also hike across mountain pastures and pass traditional shepherd’s huts that are still used by shepherd’s in some cases. The mountains are therefore populated with herds of sheep and cows, as well as its autochthonous inhabitants – the chamois, ibex, and marmot.

On the first day, we will reach the Planika Lodge below the Triglav summit, ascend Triglav on the second day, and afterwards marvel at the Triglav lakes as we hike to our lodging for the night. On the last day we will stretch our legs with an easier hike and finish our tour in Bohinj.

Triglav is a climb that can be done by almost anyone who is reasonably fit, has basic hiking experiences, and doesn’t have vertigo or a fear of heights. Still, at 2864 metres of altitude, Triglav is not to be underestimated. While most of the hike doesn’t require technical skills, the summit push is very exposed and steep, where most will feel more comfortable with protection. It’s all well worth the view at the top though, and a picture next to the famous Aljaž Tower will definitely become one of your favourites. 

Amazing views and exciting hikes aren’t the only things that make this tour a truly genuine hiking experience. We will actually spend a full three days in the mountains, sleeping and eating in mountain huts, enjoying the alpine vibe and meeting other mountain lovers. It doesn’t get more authentic than that! 

NOTE: if part of the group would rather skip the Triglav climb, and stick to less technical terrain, we can adapt the tour so that only those who want to ascend the peak do so, and then regroup with the rest later.
