Mt. Triglav Climb

• The 2-day Mt. Triglav climb is considered a demanding climb. Although certain parts of the trail may seem easy due to gradual incline, overall it does demand a high level of endurance and can be challenging for those who are not used of longer treks. The last part of the summit climb is via ferrata (italian for “iron way”), which is an extremely steep climb on steel ladders and steel wires and is not recommended for people, who are not in good physical condition or are afraid of heights. The climb is also not recommended for children younger than 15 years and pregnant women.  
• All customers are required  to notify us before booking the tour of  any medical conditions, as well as  dietary restrictions. All medications can and should be brought to all activities in the program.

We are more than happy to discuss and recommend the most suitable adventure for you based on your conditions, but cannot ultimately be responsible for your health.  

Never underestimate extreme and unpredictable mountain weather. Come prepared for any weather conditions. Even on  hottest summer days, the weather in the mountains can change quickly. Thunderstorms are relatively common  in July and August. They develop rather quickly, but usually build up in the late afternoons and evenings, so it is best to start hikes early in the morning. On 8,200 ft  above sea level the temperatures in Julian Alps never rise above 50°F. The average temperature in July and August is  43°F, but in June and September it can drop to 37°F. Wind-chill factor can bring numbers  even lower. From late June to early September there is no snow predicted on the mountains. Average temperatures at the Kredarica mountain hut (8,200 ft) are 38°F in late spring, 42°F in summer and 35°F in early fall.

• Hiking boots are an essential part of the equipment. Boots must be appropriate for rocky terrain, light, preferably waterproof. It is important that the shoes are comfortable, to ease the long distance you will hike.
• Do not bring  too much water – 30oz/person is enough. There is a water spring halfway to the mountain hut, where you can refill your bottle . You can also get a refill at mountain huts.
• Bring enough food for short breaks on your way to  the mountain hut. Our favorites: a sandwich, a chocolate bar (chocolate is a great energy booster!), granola bars, an apple, a banana, raisins.
• Even on warmest days in the summer, you will want to bring an extra layer of warm clothes. The weather high up on the mountain can sometimes be a little unpredictable

We compiled a list of further thoughts and recommendations on our Frequently Asked Questions page.

Slovenians hold nature very close to their hearts and are as a nation devoted to protecting its beauty and health. You’ll see evidence of this each day as you encounter locals in the forest and on the trails, and can find this spirit in the traditional songs and poetry. We kindly remind all of our guests who climb the peaks, hike the Alpine meadows, or take a dip in the crystal clear rivers and Adriatic sea, to understand and respect these values. In saying, please do your part to “go local” and join in this commitment to respect the mountains and valleys by packing out what you pack in, being mindful of your impact on the local environment, be mindful of volume, do not pick the protected flowers along a hiking path, and maintain a distance from the wild animals you’ll encounter on the way. Above all, enjoy the pristine nature that is all around you!
