A high-level traverse of the stunning Julian Alps, including an ascent of Mount Triglav (2864m), Slovenias highest peak
Little known outside Slovenia, the Julian Alps are the unsung mountains of Europe. A small but growing band of enthusiasts are learning about the wonders of trekking in this particularly spectacular range. Our first and last nights are spent in the pretty lakeside town of Bled, but our trek begins at Bohinj, a stunning glacial lake in the heart of the Triglav National Park. As we follow the mountain trails, through and above the tree-line, we are amongst steep-sided limestone peaks and spires, the tallest of which we aim to climb. The optional ascent of Triglav involves some easy, but exposed scrambling with cables for protection (harnesses and helmets are provided); the rest of the trekking is strenuous, but non-technical. This traverse is hut-to-hut and we will need carry only our personal gear for the five days, as the mountain huts are fully catered.
Trip Profile:
1 warm-up walk, 5 days hut-to-hut backpacking; altitude maximum 2864m, average 2000m. Grade C (optional climb D).
Group & Staff:
Min. 6, max. 16, plus guide/s.
Accommodation:
3 nights hotel in Bled, 4 nights in manned mountain huts.
Food:
All breakfasts and 5 dinners included.

WHAT THE PRICE INCLUDES
In all the items below, “included” means either in the price or in a specified “local payment”.
Flights
The prices include flights from a UK airport to the destination airport and back, UK departure tax, all necessary domestic flights on the trip itinerary and all airport transfers. If you do not need our group flights, please ask for the “land only” prices. If you book at the “land only” price, international flights and related airport transfers are not included, but domestic flights generally are, except where tickets for these have to be issued in conjunction with your international ticket.
Accommodation
This is included in the price. If you’re camping, we provide sturdy two-person tents and all necessary communal camping and cooking gear, so you will just need to bring a sleeping bag and, on most trips, a sleeping mat.
Single rooms or tents
Our prices are based on twin share accommodation. If you book your own (many people do), we arrange for you to share with a person of the same sex. We do not charge a single supplement except on extensions. Where it is operationally possible to do so, we offer an optional single supplement in the price list. On some trips it is not possible to do so, we offer an optional single supplement in the price list. On some trips it is not possible to guarantee single accommodation for the whole tour; where this is the case further information and prices can be found in the Trip Notes. If you would like a single room or tent on a particular holiday you should contact the office for details. Where we are unable to guarantee single accommodation you may be able to arrange and pay for it locally. If you are a smoker we ask you not to smoke in your room or tent if sharing. Please note on certain trips single accommodation is not available due to local operational conditions.
