Are you ready for an unforgettable journey through the serene landscapes of Croatia? Our Hut to Hut Hiking tour offers you the unique opportunity to explore the tranquil wilderness of the Velebit Mountain range.
The wilderness of Northern Velebit, coupled with the panoramic views of the Adriatic, makes this experience characteristically different from other hut-to-hut hiking in other countries.
You’ll be hiking on the Premuzic Trail, a masterpiece crafted by forestry engineer and mountaineer Ante Premuzic, as it winds its way across the rugged terrain of the Velebit mountain range.
This 57-kilometre-long trail, constructed using the drystone technique, has endured harsh weather and wear and tear for more than 90 years. It's a testament to craftsmanship and endurance, offering one of the best ways to explore the Velebit region.
But this adventure is not just about hiking — it's about immersing yourself in an authentic way of hiking in the Croatian mountains. You'll sleep in traditional mountain huts, one even one-manned, adding to the authenticity of the trip.
We've taken care of everything to make your journey hassle-free. You'll be accompanied by a local, English-speaking guide who knows these mountains like the back of their hand. We handle all transfers to the starting point and back after the hike, and there will be vehicle support throughout the hike in case something happens.
So, are you ready to explore the mountains of Croatia? Join us on this unforgettable adventure and create memories that will last a lifetime.

We had great experience with the Triglav Tours team. They were always available, responsive and helpful. They arranged our trip during high season and managed to find solutions were other agencies did not. Thank you Eva and the entire Triglav Tours team!
I have a lot of experience hiking in the mountains but still chose to book a guide, as I have neither the gear nor experience in via ferrata climbing. It turned out to be a really good idea! Prior to the trip, I had contact with the organizer and a video call where I could ask questions, which provided a good basis for deciding which trip was right for me. We were three women + our guide Jakob. On day 2, we started very early before sunrise, which gave us a bit more space on the trail and the pleasure of watching the sun rise over the mountain. Jakob was incredibly good at making our small group function, even though our levels were quite varied. I have a fear of heights, but I didn't feel unsafe at all. It was really nice that there was time to clip us into the wire. Back at the cabin, we had breakfast before heading back down towards the car. An absolutely fantastic trip that requires good physical fitness.
The Tour du Mont Blanc was easily one of the most memorable trips I’ve taken in years. From breathtaking views and warm, welcoming people to delicious food and charming mountain huts, every aspect of the journey was unforgettable. The hikes were significantly more challenging than I had anticipated, but the reward was well worth the effort. I can’t overstate how much smoother and more stress-free the experience was thanks to Hut to Hut’s incredibly detailed guides. Having accommodations pre-booked, access to a well-designed GPS trail map, and a comprehensive guide outlining what to expect, what to pack, and what to watch out for made all the difference. If you’re considering hiking the TMB, I wholeheartedly recommend booking with Hut to Hut. Their support turned a great adventure into an exceptional one.
