ABOUT THE MOUNT TRIGLAV TRIP
Get Ready for an Epic Slovenian Adventure!
We’ve crafted an unforgettable itinerary to give you a thrilling taste of Slovenia’s wild beauty. The highlight? A summit attempt on the country's highest peak—Mount Triglav. Standing proudly at 2,865 meters, this rugged giant is a must-climb for any aspiring adventurer. With its dramatic Via Ferrata route leading to the exposed summit, the adrenaline is guaranteed to kick in. It's often said that every true Slovene must climb Triglav at least once—now it’s your turn.
We’re not fans of rushed itineraries, so we’ve designed a spectacular 3-day hut-to-hut hike through the Julian Alps, giving you time to fully immerse yourself in the landscape. After conquering the mountains, we’ll keep the momentum going with a beginner-friendly whitewater rafting experience—perfect for cooling off and enjoying the thrill of Slovenia’s rivers.
You’ll also get time to relax and explore the iconic Lake Bled, where you can discover charming local attractions, go for a scenic run, or dive into its refreshing waters.
We’ll wrap up this incredible journey with a visit to Ljubljana, Slovenia’s picturesque capital, known for its vibrant culture, charming old town, and laid-back vibe.
This is the perfect trip if you want to make the most of just 5 days off work and experience the very best of Slovenia—adventure, nature, and culture, all in one epic package!
MOUNT TRIGLAV ITINERARY
Day 1 – Arrival in Slovenia
Arrive at Ljubljana Airport, where you’ll be transferred to Lesce, a small town just outside Lake Bled. The journey takes approximately 50 minutes. Settle in, relax, and prepare for the adventure ahead!
Day 2 – Into the Julian Alps
Lace up your boots—our 3-day mountain hike begins!
We transfer to Bohinj, where the trail leads us through lush alpine pastures as we ascend into the mountains. Our goal for the day is the Vodnik Lodge, reached via a scenic and relatively easy 5-hour hike.
Once at the lodge, you can opt for additional walks or simply unwind with stunning views—and maybe a Slovenian beer in hand.
Day 3 – Summit Day: Mount Triglav
After an early breakfast, we continue our ascent, climbing another 700 meters over increasingly rugged terrain to reach Kredarica Hut. Here, we leave our main gear behind and begin our summit push.
The climb to Mount Triglav's 2,865m summit is more technical, and we’ll use Via Ferrata equipment to secure ourselves along the exposed route. Our certified Slovenian Mountain Guides will support you every step of the way.
At the top, you’ll find the iconic Aljaž Tower and panoramic views that make every step worth it.
We return to Kredarica Hut for our final night in the mountains.
Day 4 – Descent and Celebration
Our last day in the mountains includes a significant descent—around 1,100 meters. Multiple route options are available depending on the group’s preferences and energy levels.
After completing the hike, we return to Lesce to freshen up and celebrate your achievement in true Slovenian style.
Please note: As with all mountain treks, the itinerary may be adjusted due to weather or trail conditions.
Day 5 – Rafting & Lake Bled
After breakfast, we kick off the day with a fun, beginner-friendly whitewater rafting experience (approx. 3 hours – optional).
Once dry and changed, we head to Lake Bled for a relaxed afternoon.
Here you’re free to explore: swim, run, ride the summer toboggans, take a boat to the island, or visit the medieval Bled Castle.
In the evening, we transfer to Ljubljana for an overnight stay on the city’s outskirts.
Day 6 – Explore Ljubljana / Optional Guided Run
This is a free day to enjoy Ljubljana, just a short bus ride away. Explore the city’s historic castle, charming bridges, museums, and vibrant riverfront, or hop on an e-scooter or take a boat tour.
Optional Morning Activity:
Join an optional 10km guided run, hike, or trail run up Šmarna Gora (approx. 400m elevation gain) for sunrise views over the city.
Day 7 – Departure (Or Extend Your Stay)
Sadly, it’s time to say goodbye. After breakfast, we transfer to Ljubljana Airport for your return flight—unless, of course, you choose to extend your adventure!
Optional Morning Run:
Depending on your flight time, you can opt for a 7km guided trail run (approx. 250m ascent) to cap off the trip.

TRIP SPECIFIC FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
General FAQs about our trips, booking, fitness etc can be found here
How fit do I really need to be and what skills do I require?
The fitter you are the more you will enjoy it, and the more chance you'll have of getting to the top, however unlike some of our longer expeditions you just need to have reasonable hiking fitness. If you can easily complete a 6-7 hour hike in the Lake District without being totally destroyed by it you'll be fit enough for this trek. As mentioned in the itinerary, there is a high degree of exposure and a requirement to be sure footed on rocky terrain. You're made safe by being attached to the cables however. Should you wish to see what you're like on Via Ferrata we can always arrange for you to try it our here in the Lake District first.
You'll find some advice, as well as a free downloadable 12 week training plan on our Fitness Training page. Matt is a qualified Personal Trainer so if you want some formal training just get in touch with us via Summit Push Fitness
What Technical Kit do I require?
All technical kit is provided. If you have your own Via Ferrata lanyards or helmet you can bring them.
What about the Food and Accommodation?
Slovenian Hut food is simple but filling - perfect for what you need whilst in the mountains. Stews and soups are common, as are sausages, pastas and breads. Savoury and sweet pancakes also make an appearance. Our time at the huts will be half board (Breakfast and Dinner) and in the cities (Lesce & Ljubljana) it will be breakfast. We recommend you bring some snacks to see you between meals on the trek, and of course budget for (10-15 euro per meal)
Our accommodation in the cities will be mid-range hotel accommodation. In the mountains it is mountain huts, which are best pictured as hostels in the mountains! It is likely we will be staying in a dormitory style room which sleeps up to 12 people. The huts are always clean and a great experience.
