It was an exhiliarating and awesome experience that exceeded all my expectations!
The tour begins in the capital city, where you will meet your guide and the others on the tour over a welcome drink. After going through the details of the trip, you will have the evening at a lovely hotel in Ljubljana and the chance to explore the vibrant city where the old world meets new.
Following a transfer to Lake Bohinj, you will begin your trek through the Julian Alps into Triglav National Park. After 10 km and an elevation gain of 900 m, you will arrive at the first of two mountain huts. This hut is situated at the base of Mount Triglav and is fully equipped. A meal and bedding will be provided so there is no need to bring much except any essentials such as a change of clothes and toiletries. (It is important to note that luggage transfer is not possible to the mountain huts, but will be waiting for you at the hotel on the 4th day). Once at the hut there is the option to climb an additional 2,000 m peak which allows for stunning views of the Julian Alps and Triglav National Park.
This is the longest and hardest day of the whole trip, covering 14 km and an elevation gain of 700 m. Explore stunning alpine scenery and the option to ascend an additional peak with an additional 250 m elevation gain. Then descend to the Valley of the 7 Lakes. Hiking through this valley is like hiking through geological history, your knowledgeable guide will share plentiful information about the region and you may even come across some fossils in the rocks. The day ends at an another fully equipped mountain hut, with a simple but delicious local dinner and a comfortable place to sleep.
Today you will begin your hike down from some of the highest peaks in the Julian Alps and make your way to alpine pastures. Once there you will be treated to a traditional lunch made from local products. Following lunch you will make your way to Lake Bohinj and enjoy a swim in its crystal-clear waters, followed by an evening at the spectacular Lake Bled, where the group will still have some time to explore and have dinner on their own.
Today you'll be able to explore the surroundings of the Lake Bled. You will have the option to tour the island, hike up to the scenic viewpoint or simply relax at the lakeside. The day will continue with a scenic mountain drive up Vrsic mountain pass, where you will have the opportunity to do another hike and once again enjoy the beauty of being in the Julian Alps. The day ends in Bovec at either Hotel Mangart or Hotel Alp.
Today begins with a summit of Mt. Mangart, on the border of Slovenia and Italy. It is the third highest peak in Slovenia and offers amazing views into both countries. After a delicious lunch, the afternoon will be spent exploring hidden gems throughout the Soca Valley. This could include an optional river kayaking, rafting, zip-lining and evening canyoning (all at additional cost).
The final travel day will include a stop in the historic town of Kobarid, then a hike through the beautiful Soca Valley and a lunch from the local cuisine. The day continues to Slovenian wine country, in Vipava Valley. The afternoon is a delight to the senses, tasting more local cuisine and wines, as well as touring the beautiful countryside. After dinner, the guide will take you back to Ljubljana where you will enjoy the nice atmosphere of the Slovenian capital.
Today begins with a breakfast and a farewell. From here you are free to continue your travels on your own.
