Julian Alps Forest Hut Tour
Self-Guided Walking Holiday
+ Limestone hills, forests and hidden meadows
+ Two daywalks and a 4-day hut-to-hut trek
+ Practical, carefully researched route
The Julian Alps offer awe-inspiring Alpine walking. Sitting at the far Eastern end of the Alpine chain, mostly in Slovenia, these beautiful beige and light grey coloured mountains rise to a high point of 2,864m at Triglav.
This holiday travels through the deep forests of the South side of the Julian Alps above Lake Bohinj, to reach the famous Triglav Lakes Valley. The high point of the trek is a hut perched high above a deep valley, in a wild upland setting on the edge of the high mountains. Start your trip near the shores of Lake Bohinj, where before your trek you have time for a local daywalk and to prepare. During your 4-day trek you spend 3 nights in mountain huts. At the end of your trek, with two nights back in Bohinj, take in a last walk or see the sights of Lake Bohinj or Bled.
Julian Alps Update August 2008
Our season in the Julian Alps is well underway and continues to the end of September. Availability is mostly fine. Please contact us to book in.
We supply you with our detailed routecards and the local Slovenian maps. You're then free to walk the route as you choose and to explore any other trails you wish; there are small peaks and tempting forest paths off to the side throughout. For the hut nights we book your places but leave it to you to pay the wardens - your joining notes tell you how much cash to take with you.
Your accommodation is in mountain huts for the 3 nights of the trek and in a family-run 4-star hotel for your first two and last two nights in Bohinj.

Tweak your trip
Add a day in Bohinj at the start or end of your trip, or do without the valley element altogether. Add a day on trek to explore further into the mountains. Other accommodation is available in the valley, such as a 3-star guesthouse or a room in a local family house. Many variations are possible, so please let us know what you'd like.
