Your first day of hiking is here! Start with a transfer to the trailhead, where you’ll begin following a well-marked path through a cute alpine farm. Consider stopping in for some fresh cheese or milk before heading up a mountain that doesn’t see too many hikers. This quiet trail gives you unspoiled, private views over the Julian Alps.

If you’re keen for a challenge, you can opt to climb Mt. Kanjavec, one of the highest peaks in the heart of the Julian Alps. If you’re really brave, you can actually climb Mt. Triglav today, bagging Slovenia’s highest peak! The upper part of the hike involves a via ferrata course, and we can help you arrange a guide if you’d like.
