Would you like to discover some of the most amazing hiking spots in Europe? Then join one of the guides on our team on this 4-day adventure in the Julian Alps and in the Dolomites.

We will begin our adventure in Slovenia, where we will visit the area around Mt. Krn (2244 m) and the Krn lake, which is the largest in the Julian Alps. This stunning range is located in the Southern Limestone Alps and spans over an area of 4400 km². After spending the first 2 days in this beautiful location, we will head to the Dolomites in Italy for the second half of our adventure. There, we will start off below the awe-inspiring Tres Cime de Lavaredo and discover the beautiful, circular Monte Paterno route and stroll around the beautiful surrounding trails and meadows. You can find a detailed itinerary of the program below, and keep in mind that we can also arrange to start off from Italy if you wish. Whichever side we start from, you will be amazed by the breathtaking landscapes of the Julian Alps and the Dolomites!

Please consider that this is an intermediate hiking adventure. Therefore, it is necessary that you be in good shape in order to join. Of course, we will be there every step of the way to make sure that you are safe.

Itinerary

Day 1: Lepena Valley – Krn Lakes – Mt. Krn

By prior arrangement, I will come looking for your hotel and take you to the Alpena Valley (700 m), where our start for Mt. Krn.

Day 2: Mt. Krn – Planina Kuhinja

We spend the night on planina Kuhinja in a beautiful mountain farmhouse, where we have reserved half board. The walk is 4 – 5 hours. We will do almost 1400m of descent.

Day 3: Misurina lake – Monte Paterno – Hut Locateli

After breakfast at the mountain hut, we will drive towards the Dolomites to Lake Misurina, a mountain village below the Tre Cime (about 3 hours drive). From Misurina, we will head towards Rifugio Locatelli, at an altitude of 2438m (7,998 ft.), where we spend the night. The plan is to hike the circular path of Monte Paterno. The hike takes around 4 – 5 hours and we will see a 900m (2500 ft.) altitude gain.

Day 4: Hut Locateli – Tre Cime – Misurina lake

After breakfast at the mountain hut, we will walk the circular route around the Tre Cime di Lavaredo. At the end of the tour, we will descend again towards Misurina Lake.

We were looking for a hike suitable for 4 adults with reasonable experience in hiking.Dean not only crafted a 5 day activity for us but was also able to adjust for routes to fit our needs during the hike itself. Dean proved to be a great guide with both knowledge and an amazing attitude and was simply so much fun to be with, Dean also went 'the extra mile' for us taking some of us to special activities which we did not plan for. If you are looking for hiking in Slovenia and getting an experience of a life time - I would highly recommend Dean. 5 starts all the way (And if there 6 he would get them as well :) ) Dean, thank you so much !

Dean is a super experienced guide, he is very qualified to do all sorts of mountineering too if you are interested to try. I had a good time learning how to do snow shoeing and he is very patient in teaching me and assessing my abilities to suggest different routes which is suitable for my build and stamina. It was great and safe to have him as a guide because he knows the terrain well and that is good to know.
