01Read this first

This is not a guided group tour.

Most people booking a week in the Alps picture a guide at the front and fourteen strangers behind. That is not what this is, and the difference is the whole reason people book it.

So what do we actually do

  • Book and pay for every hut and guesthouse
  • Move your luggage while you walk
  • Hand you the maps, the notes and our number
  • No guide walking with you

    Nobody sets the tempo and nobody talks over the view. You get the route, the maps and a number to call if anything goes sideways.

  • No fixed group

    You travel with the people you chose to travel with. Two of you, or eight. There is no coach, no name badges, no stranger on the trail behind you.

  • No fixed schedule

    Leave the hut at six or at ten. Swim in the lake, stop for strudel, take the longer ridge. The only things waiting for you are a booked bed and your luggage.

02How it works

You do the walking. We do everything else.

Four steps from a rough idea of a week in Slovenia to a booked trek that is entirely yours.

    Detailed maps, day by day route notes, hut contacts and our phone number. Everything you need to walk it without us.

03The route

More than mountains.It is about the moments.

  • Circle Slovenia's highest mountain

    A 100 km trekking route around Mount Triglav, 2,864 m.

  • Crystal clear alpine lakes

    The Triglav Lakes valley, the emerald Soca and Lake Jasna.

  • The best alternative to Tour du Mont Blanc

    The same alpine scale, a fraction of the crowds.

Embark on a self-guided hiking adventure in Slovenia through the stunning Triglav National Park. This trail offers more than breathtaking alpine scenery. It is about the moments along the way.

Towering peaks, crystal clear lakes, hidden mountain villages, warm encounters with locals, and timeless alpine traditions make this journey a true hidden gem. If you have completed the Tour du Mont Blanc, the Triglav circuit is the best alternative to it.

Nestled in the heart of the Slovenian Alps, this 100 km trekking route circles Slovenia's highest mountain, Mount Triglav, 2,864 m. Recognised as one of Europe's classic multi-day treks, it belongs on every serious hiker's list.

Everything is arranged from day one: detailed maps of the entire route, handpicked accommodation in charming alpine huts and guesthouses, hearty local cuisine, and seamless daily luggage transfers. You walk with a light daypack, free to savour every step and every view.

06Questions

Asked before every booking

If yours is not here, write to us. We answer properly, not with a brochure.

Wait, is there a guide with us or not?

There is not, and that is the whole point. This is a self-guided trek. You walk the route on your own, with only the people you booked with. Everything around the walking is arranged for you: the huts, the meals, the luggage transfers, the maps and the route notes. If you want somebody walking beside you every day, this is not the right trip, and we would rather tell you that now.

Can we really not get lost?

The daily hikes are on well marked trails and you will meet other hikers along the way. You receive a detailed map and a written description of every day. The trails inside the national park are narrow and often rocky, so sturdy footwear is essential and basic orientation skills help.

What if something goes wrong on the trail?

You have our phone number for the whole week and we are in Slovenia while you walk. If the weather turns, if somebody twists an ankle, if you simply need to stop a day early, you call us and we rearrange the huts and the transfers.

What type of accommodation is provided?

Our carefully selected alpine huts and guesthouses offer a warm atmosphere, welcoming hosts, and beautiful locations. Private rooms are planned for your stay, with two exceptions where only shared accommodation is available. These huts are popular not only with hikers but also with travelers seeking an authentic alpine experience.

How is accommodation on arrival and departure?

Accommodation on your arrival and departure days is not included and should be arranged individually. For your arrival, we recommend staying in Bohinj, for example Vila Majerca or Hotel Bohinj. For your final night, we suggest booking accommodation in Bled, for example Adora Luxury Hotel, Hotel Triglav, Vila Bled or Penzion Berc.

How does luggage transport work?

We transfer your luggage from cabin to cabin, so you only need to carry a daypack. The only exception is day 1, when you need to bring extra clothes, as the cabin sits in the heart of the mountains with no road access.

What meals are included?

During your stay, breakfast and dinner are included, each prepared with fresh local ingredients that showcase the rich traditions of Slovenian cuisine. From hearty mountain dishes to authentic regional flavors, every meal is part of the journey. Along the trail, you will also find plenty of huts offering tasty lunch options.

How difficult is the Triglav Tour?

The Triglav Tour features demanding terrain with long ascents and descents, typically 6 to 8 hours of hiking per day. Routes may include stream crossings and require good orientation skills. Participants should have prior hiking experience and be in good physical condition.

What equipment do I need?

To fully enjoy your hiking adventure in the mountains, it is essential to be prepared for changing weather and local conditions. We recommend warm, waterproof layers, hiking boots, sunscreen and sunglasses. Hiking poles are also highly recommended. A full list is available on request.

When should we come, and how far ahead do we book?

The best time to hike Triglav and enjoy multi-day trekking routes in Triglav National Park is from May to September. Temperatures typically range between 15 and 25 degrees, creating excellent conditions for both day hikes and multi-day adventures. Since Triglav is Slovenia's most iconic peak and attracts hikers from around the world, we recommend booking at least 6 months in advance. This ensures the best availability in mountain huts and lets us plan your route carefully.

What does it cost?

We price each trek on your dates and the size of your group, because hut rates and transfers change with both. Send us your dates and how many of you there are, and you get a full price with everything itemised, within 24 hours. Nothing is asked of you until you say yes.
