What to Bring to the Tour
Climbing Mt. Triglav in winter is an extraordinary adventure. The landscape becomes a true winter wonderland, offering challenges and stunning beauty. With an experienced guide ensuring your safety, all you need is basic familiarity with using an ice axe and crampons to tackle this memorable journey.
Mt. Triglav, standing at 2,864 meters above sea level, is a popular goal for hikers and mountaineers, particularly in winter. With fewer crowds, the experience is more tranquil, allowing for a deeper appreciation of the Julian Alps' beauty.
When weather conditions allow, the journey can begin. The snow-covered route to Triglav Lodge at Kredarica is relatively straightforward, offering breathtaking views of the valleys and peaks throughout the climb.
Reaching the Kredarica hut in winter is a significant accomplishment. This high-altitude lodge serves as the overnight base. Although officially closed during winter, the resident meteorologists welcome guests and provide a warm meal.
Keep in mind that the lodge is unheated, so a sleeping bag is essential, though blankets are also available for extra warmth.
With the guidance of our mountain guide on the ascent to Triglav's summit, you will navigate snowy and rocky terrain using climbing ropes, ice axes, and crampons.
The climb depends on favorable weather. Upon reaching the summit, you will be greeted with breathtaking panoramic winter views. Afterward, you will carefully descend to the valley, ensuring a memorable experience of summiting Slovenia's highest peak in winter.
NOTE: Experienced and quick mountaineers can do this tour in one day if the conditions are right.

A fantastic 3 day self guided Hut to Hut hike around Triglav National Park in Slovenia. We experienced a full range of weather which made it an unforgettable trip. The organisation and back up support with GPS maps etc was excellent. Hut staff were friendly and very happy to give advice and suggestions on the routes and directions. Would recommend.
My friend and I went with Triglav Tours for a 3 day, 2 night hike this summer and had the most amazing time!! Our guide, Bine, was awesome and had lots of cool facts to share about the area we were hiking. Additionally, my friend and I had not completed such a technical hike before and the guide and other guests were very patient with us and encouraging, ensuring we felt safe the entire time. The overnights were also such a fun way to get to know Bine, the other guests, and other hikers as well. Cannot recommend Triglav tours enough!!!
I arranged a six-day/five-night trip with Hut to Hut Slovenia. It's the first time I've gone with a tour organizer and I can say it went really well. In the past I've arranged huts myself and it is a huge hassle figuring out how to make the bookings, if the bookings actually exist, and what good/viable routes might be. Having this all sort was, at least to me, totally worth it. The routing is via Ride with GPS, which was great. I'd recommend bringing 1:25,000 scale paper maps as a backup, just in case. The huts themselves differ wildly. Some are really rustic with, ahem, interesting toilet facilities. One was accessible by road and thus had showers, a long menu, and even espresso. All will have some sort of food, but you might only have two options for dinner (one with meat, one vegetarian). The cuisine in the Slovenian huts leans strongly to stews and goulashes with minimal fresh vegetables and/or fruit. Certainly good and hearty but pretty much everyone I talked to said the food was better in the Italian and Austrian huts. Some huts are cash only, some take cards (but the card reader might be down). A 1.5 litre bottle of water is about 6 euro, so if you have a beer with dinner and also buy lunch you need to carry about 25-30 euro per day in cash (assuming you have a booking that includes breakfast). Of the six days of hiking, four were ridiculously spectacular, with the highlight being sunrise from Mt Stol. Getting up to the high mountains, though, can be crazy steep, with switchbacks only sparsely used. Descents are similarly tough, and you have to watch every step. For the first time ever I used trekking poles and my knees thank me. Two days were a bit of a slog, but this is probably unavoidable getting up to or down from the high terrain. Would I do something like this again? Yes, absolutely! But next time it will probably be the Dolomites.
We had a lovely hike today with our guide Klemen. He personalized the tour on our needs and interests, so that we saw places we wouldn't without his experience. The hike was a little bit slippery after the rain from the last days and it went a lot upwards, but it was totally worth it! Thanks again :)
