Description

Mount Triglav (2864m) is the highest peak in Slovenia, and the most popular climb in the country, with several routes to the summit. Today we invite you to join us on a 3-day group ascent via the Valley of the Seven Lakes. 

This is the longest route, but probably the most beautiful and diverse approach to Triglav. Along three days, we will cover a distance of over 40 kilometers and a height difference of more than 2500 meters. 

During these days, we will be sleeping in small mountain huts that offer simple accommodations and typical Slovenian food, enjoying spectacular views over valleys, mountains, and lakes. 

On the first day, we will drive up to the trail start, high above Bohinj Lake, on Pokljuka high plateau. 

Then we will hike along the  trail, over beautiful alpine ground. We will have lunch at a hut and go on hiking up until we reach Triglavski Dom Kredarica mountain hut, where we will stay overnight. 

On the second day, we will ascend the summit of Mount Triglav in the morning. We will descend back to Kredarica hut. That way we can travel with light backpacks and we don't need to carry the Ferata gear for 3 days, as it is waiting for us in the hut. After the climb, we will continue to pass Planika hut towards Dolic hut, where we will have lunch. After lunch, we will continue with our hike to the hut by the seven lakes for an overnight stay. 

On the last day, we just have a nice 3-4 hour long hike across scenic meadows to Blato meadow, where a bus will take us back down to our car in Bohinj Valley. 

This group tour is a great opportunity for single climbers or for climbers who are part of a small group. The climb will start each Wednesday and finish on Friday in July and August. 

Just send us a request if you want to join us on this group ascent to the most famous mountain in Slovenia. You may also be interested in a private climbing tour in Triglav. In that case, we can offer you these climbing options.

Mountain Guide

I am a IFMGA certified mountain guide, ski instructor, and sports teacher.

I believe guides do their best job when they guide in the mountains they are most familiar with. That is one of the biggest reasons why I specialize in guiding in Slovenia. I climb Triglav more than 25 times per year, which means I have climbed the most famous peak in my country around 400 times.

If you want to climb or ski in the Slovenian mountains, I am the right choice. I guide via ferrata, rock climbing, snow climbing, ice climbing, hikes, freeride skiing, and ski touring. Most of my summer work involves climbing Triglav, and most of my winter work involves Triglav and ski touring around it.

Slovenia offers good options for all of these activities, so you are welcome to take a look at my trips and find something for yourself. If you don't find anything, let me know, and I will see if I can help you!

I speak English. Ich spreche auch ein bisschen Deutsch. Parlo anche un po' di Italiano e hablo también un poco de Español.

If I am not available to guide you, one of the super experienced guides in my team will be your guide.
