Description

It is not often a person gets the opportunity to hike around the highest mountain in a country. However, on this 3 day adventure, that is exactly what you will get to do, as I will guide you around Mount Triglav (2,864m), the highest peak in Slovenia.

Located in the Julian Alps, Mount Triglav is a sensational mountain. Stunning and grand, it is the kind of peak that will grant you great views as you make your way up.

This journey around Mount Triglav will begin in the beautiful Vrata valley (1,015m). From there, we will make our way up to the Dom Valentina Stanica mountain hut (2,332m), where you will get to enjoy a delicious meal and get some much needed rest.

On the second day of this trip, we will trek to the summit of Mount Cmir (2,391m). After you've enjoyed some great views of the Julian Alps, we will then go to the Planik mountain hut (2,401m), where you will enjoy dinner and some rest.

On the final day of this trek, we will leave the Planik mountain hut and make our way back down to the Vrata valley.

There will be some difficult parts of this hike. As a result, participants should be in good physical condition and have some previous hiking experience.

If you would like to enjoy this amazing hike around Slovenia's famous Mount Triglav, just send me a request. I would be happy to guide you on this 3 day expedition.

I can also lead you on a full day hike on the Gora-Trenta stage of the Alpe-Adria trail in the Julian Alps.

We truly had an unforgettable snowshoeing tour with Dean! We couldn’t have asked for a better guide! Even though my snowshoeing skills were not the best, he was very patient. He definitely has the skills and was incredibly knowledgeable. He made sure we stayed safe and kept a close eye on everyone. He was kind enough to take photos of us! You can tell he loves what he does. You will not be disappointed with Dean! As for the Explore-Share service website….it made the booking process and communication extremely easy. I emailed with questions first and within 24 hours I had a response and decided to book. All in all the whole experience was great!

We had a wonderful day today with Dean as our guide at the "Tre Cime". He was very patient with us (we're not particularly fast walking up a mountain), but we never felt pressured. He offered us some additional detour to give us an additional special view, but made clear that we would have to see first if the conditions were good enough for us to pass, as otherwise it would be too dangereous. We were lucky and were able to walk on, but on the "dangerous" icy passage over a cliff he walked under my wife making sure she was safe - overall, we felt that we were in very good hands with you, Dean, thank you very much!!

Dean was very helpful and responsive to our enquiries. He was enthusiastic and devoted to show the prettiest side of Tre Cime to us. Although we were a bit behind, Dean was patient to wait for us and cater to our speed. Great experience!!

Dean is an excellent guide. He's friendly and conscientious and throughout or trip was focused on getting us to achieve our hiking goals while being aware of our abilities and experience. We chose a relatively tough hike (8hrs, 1,700m elevation gain) but Dean made sure we completed it safely and at a good pace. He also took photos throughout so we could concentrate on the hiking and shared them with us later. He was also good company on the hike. I would thoroughly recommend his services.

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 was prompt and super knowledgeable about the area we were going to. He guided us safely to Slemenova Spica to enjoy the Julian Alps. As two girls from the city, we don't have much hiking experience, and he was patient and super helpful. We enjoyed our trip so much and it has been the highlight of our Slovenia trip. Thanks once again, Dean, for taking us on this experience!

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.
