Julian Alps Hut-to-Hut Self-Guided Walking Holiday
+ Clear mountain paths link charming huts
+ Organisation taken care of for you
+ Options for side exploration throughout
The Julian Alps are ideally set up for multi-day trekking. Differing in scenery from the Western Alps, the views of limestone peaks can be enchanting as well as simply jaw-dropping. Slovenia's dense network of welcoming huts lets you weave a fine trek through these hills.
This holiday sets off from the shores of Lake Bohinj, on the Southern edge of the Julian Alps, for a 5-day trek. Reach your first hut above forests with high mountain views to Triglav. It's an atmospheric first night. Trek across high rocky hillsides near Triglav to the next hut, a high one, then cross the Hribarice plateau and descend the beautiful Triglav Lakes Valley to the hut at its foot. Cross the karst area to the South, with optional excursions, to a hut with great views of the Bohinj basin far below. The peak of Vogel (1,922m) is an option for the last trekking day, at the end of which you are back in Bohinj after what should be a very satisfying trek. For your last day you are based in Bohinj and can take things easier on a local day-walk or see the sights of Lake Bohinj and Lake Bled.
This is a self-guided walking holiday, so you are free to complete the walks as you choose: we arrange everything for you, including booking your accommodation and providing you with routecards and maps for the walking. 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 4 nights of the trek and in a friendly family-run 4-star hotel in Bohinj on the first, and last two, nights of the holiday.

Tweak your trip
Clients often ask for variations on our standard trip of 5 trek days and 1 valley day. Add a valley day at the start to find your feet, or keep your trip entirely in the mountains. Stay longer in the mountains, or shorter - even weekends are feasible. Would you prefer a room with a local family, or a 3-star guesthouse? Contact us to discuss the options.
