Itinerary

Day 1: Pokljuka to Kredarica Hut

The initial ascent from Pokljuka up to Studor Pass climbs about 700 m of elevation in the first hour and a half, but when past it, the trail to the Vodnik Hut stays pretty flat. From there on, it again starts to climb on a nice wide trail with only occasional exposed spots, otherwise all secured with steel cable. The ascent continues all the way to the next hut – also the last hut on the way to the summit – the Kredarica Hut. Yet, since the ascent is nicely gradual, the hike never really feels as hard work as it might feel on some other routes. We spend the night in the Kredarica Hut.

Day 2: Kredarica Hut - Triglav - Pokljuka

The next morning we strap on the climbing harness and helmet and enter the final steep section. We carefully pass the secured climbing peak to the top of Triglav and enjoy incredible views of the seemingly endless Julian Alps. When we finally reach the top of Slovenia's highest mountain, the first-timers will be surprised to learn of the Slovenian mountaineering habits, however, everyone will be mesmerised by incredible views from the very top of Slovenia. Afterwards, we slowly return back down and cheer to our great adventure.

"Prior to Covid 19 pandemic, we arranged to hike up Mt Triglav with Exploring Slovenia. From start to finish, our guide Neja made us feel at ease. During the hike she was encouraging, supportive and patient. Great emphasis was made on safety, and we were provided with all the specialist equipment that we required for the climb. We had a wonderful experience that we will never forget! Also a great sense of achievement after climbing Slovenia’s highest mountain! I cannot recommended Exploring Slovenia and Neja highly enough - 5 stars +!!!"

"I only had a short time in Slovenia and I really wanted to do 2 things; climb Triglav and sleep in a mountain hut. I booked a 2-day tour with Exploring Slovenia and I was so happy I did. From start to finish they were great, super friendly, very knowledgeable and I never once felt unsafe under their guidance. I would highly recommend them to anyone wanting some Slovenian adventures 🏔💓 I booked onto the 2-day tour to Triglav from Pokljuka with Exploring Slovenia. It was by far the best thing I did on my trip to Slovenia. Neja and the team were really friendly and made us feel completely at ease in the mountains. The views were incredible and it was great fun sleeping in the hut. The Slovene "welcome" on top of Triglav is certainly unique... I would highly recommend booking with Exploring Slovenia to find out why!"

"We've been hiking for more than 20 years now and Neja's agency and her guides are one of the best and loviest people we have met and with plenty of experience. We did a 2-day tour to Triglav and they took really good care of us (with great emphasis on safety at all times) while having a lot fun. I will for sure hike with them again and so should you!"

Monika & Rita, Croatia

"Climbing Triglav in 2 days with Neja was an amazing experience. She is a very attentive, motivating and well-organized guide. She answered all possible questions before the tour and prepared us well for the hike. I can highly recommend doing a tour with Exploring Slovenia!"
