Is there any better way to explore one of the most diverse parts of the world than on a holiday where you decide how to experience it? Join us for the ultimate walking holidays in Slovenia, available as self-guided and guided tours, in the breathtakingly beautiful Julian Alps.
With awe-inspiring peaks and picturesque valleys, home to crystal clear rivers and lakes, the Julian Alps are a prime destination for visitors from around the globe. This region, brimming with natural and cultural treasures, is largely protected within the Triglav National Park, Slovenia's only national park.
Our tours, whether you choose the self-guided or guided option, are designed to be accessible to all. They are the perfect choice for those looking to enjoy pleasant hikes through stunning landscapes, uncover local culture, savour the cuisine, and immerse themselves fully in this unique destination.
For those who value independence in their day-to-day itinerary, our self-guided tours offer a sense of adventure with less of a tourist feel. We equip you with all the necessary instructions to ensure you have a seamless holiday experience.
Meanwhile, our guided tours provide the added benefit of expert local knowledge, ensuring you don't miss out on hidden gems.
Your accommodations are strategically located at two different sites, enhancing the diversity of your holiday and minimising travel time to daily destinations. Your adventure begins in Bled, the gem of the Julian Alps, known for its iconic lake and island church views.
The latter part of your stay takes you to Kranjska Gora, Slovenia's centre for mountain pursuits. Encircled by majestic peaks, it offers a blend of sporting and leisure opportunities perfect for outdoor enthusiasts.
While public transport in Slovenia is adequate for city travel, it falls short of offering the full Julian Alps experience. For utmost flexibility, we recommend car rental, which we can arrange for you, making every nook and cranny of the Lakes and Valleys of the Julian Alps more accessible.
Alternatively, for those opting for a guided experience or preferring not to drive, private transfers are available, offering a seamless way to enjoy the beauty of the Julian Alps without the hassle of navigating.
Discover the majestic Julian Alps your way. Whether you seek the freedom of a self-guided adventure or the insightful companionship of a guided tour, we're here to make it happen.

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.
