The Slovenian Mountain Trail Highlights Hike is the ideal way to immerse yourself in the charm of the Julian Alps and the Karawanks. From the breathtaking views atop Mt. Stol to the scenic Triglav Lakes Valley, this trip offers a truly unique experience.

The route runs along the least technically demanding and picturesque section of the famous Slovenian Mountain Trail, the ultimate hiking challenge in the country. Although the path is adapted to be doable for any regular hiker, it includes some rocky passages and height exposure but requires no scrambling or climbing skills.

Starting in the Karawanks on the Austrian border, the track will lead you along grassy ridges, across meadows and mountain pastures, and through alpine valleys before dropping you off in the heart of the Julian Alps next to Lake Bohinj. But not before introducing you to the towering north face of Mt. Triglav and the Peričnik Waterfall in the Triglav National Park.

Passing kilometers in the stunning mountain landscape of the Alps, you will rest your legs in cozy mountain huts along the way. These lodges offer a warm and welcoming atmosphere with a chance to meet other hikers and learn about the local culture, including trying the authentic local dishes.

We strive to make your experience as comfortable and convenient as possible. That's why we take care of booking your spots in the mountain huts in advance and provide you with a booklet that includes a detailed itinerary and GPS navigation along the planned route. Our team will offer you support during your hike as well.

The tour is customizable, with options for extra days before the first stage and after the last one. If you share your wishes with us, we can start sorting out the itinerary to suit your needs in no time.

Frequently Asked Questions

The ideal time for hut-to-hut hiking across Europe generally falls between mid-June and late September. However, this can vary depending on the region and the specific trail you’re considering. Elevations and local climate conditions play a role, particularly for trails that cross higher mountain ranges. Always research the current conditions for your chosen route before setting out, and be aware that many mountain huts operate only within the main hiking season, limiting the feasibility of multi-day excursions outside this timeframe.

We’ve rated our tours on a difficulty scale from 1 to 5 — with 1 being the easiest and 5 the most difficult.

The difficulty level of a tour tells you how fit you need to be and how much hiking is involved. Most of our tours are appropriate for people who are regularly active and can hike for about five to seven hours per day.

Technical difficulty means how skilled you need to be to hike on the path. Level 1 means the trail is smooth and wide (like a gravel road), while 5 means the surface is uneven and exposed, and you have to use your hands to help yourself move forward. In practice, that means that the higher the level, the more surefooted and skilled in scrambling you need to be.

You should book your tour as soon as possible, as many accommodations along the trail fill up quickly. That way, you can ensure that you have a place to stay.

In case of an injury, it is best to call the local emergency services. You might find yourself in the wilderness, unable to continue without worsening your situation.

Do not worry too much, though. You will be hiking along popular trails, so you will not get stranded even if something happens.

On the other hand, if you feel too tired to continue hiking, you can always stop in any of the towns and villages along the way and use public transport to get to where you want to be.

Most huts along our hut-to-hut hikes are equipped with showers, but they might be a matter of whether there has been any rainfall lately. Do not expect too much, as mountain huts are not luxurious hotels.

No. The huts provide blankets and pillows for comfort. However, you should bring your sleeping liner so they will not have to wash their bed linen every day.

Cell reception is unreliable in the mountains. If you can see a town, you will likely have a reception. The same goes for mountain huts. If you cannot get it inside, try stepping outside. Wifi is available only at select lodges; most do not have it.

If you dress appropriately, most stages can be done even in light rain. However, if a storm is forecasted, do not hike. In that case, you should wait until the storm passes, even if that means spending a day at the hut.

I could not recommend Hut to Hut enough. I am a young, solo female traveller and Hut to Hut made the whole experience so easy and comfortable. The instructions, guide and all provided applications are very straightforward and easy to follow, and if there are any issues their customer service is amazing. And the price is incredibly reasonable with my hike including accomodation and some food.
