Mount Triglav is undoubtedly Slovenia's best-known and most visited mountain. This 3-day, self-guided trek to Mount Triglav combined with the Triglav Lakes brings together the very best of Slovenia’s alpine highlights. Self-guided, but with remote support where needed, this route is designed for hikers who are ready to take on a serious mountain challenge.

Mount Triglav has numerous excellent trails from several surrounding valleys leading to the summit. If you choose this trek, your adventure will start in Bled, considered by many to be the most beautiful place in Slovenia. The route to the summit is demanding, making the reward at the top all the more satisfying. On clear days, views stretch across the Julian Alps to the Grossglockner in the northwest and all the way to the Adriatic Sea in the south. After crossing the summit, you descend into the Triglav Lakes Valley, passing a series of stunning alpine lakes before finishing at Lake Bohinj, where transport awaits to take you back to Bled. This 3-day alpine challenge for advanced hikers is all about conquering the roof of Slovenia and experiencing its wildest landscapes.
