Slovenia
Via ferrata is a perfect blend of hiking and climbing! This trip is not for the beginners and is for those who want to try fixed cable-way routes and summit Slovenia's highest mountain!
Today is your arrival day in Bled where you will be staying at a local hostel. If you arrive early in the day, you can go for a swim in the lake, or walk up to the viewpoint. In the evening, you'll meet the rest of the team before heading out for a drink or dinner (optional and not included in the price).
We'll pick you up and you'll start by trekking through Krma Valley. We'll stop for lunch and then trek up towards the Kredarica plateau and finally Triglavski Mountain Hut. In the evening, you can relax over dinner, and watch the sunset over the mountain tops, if the weather allows.
After breakfast, you'll get started with a climbing part of the via ferrata section. This is a 400 m-long section of safety cables. Equipped with a harness and gear, you will clip onto the cables to climb up the rock. Don't worry but have in mind that it's a climb and the guides are fantastic at making you feel confident and safe!
Shortly after completing the via ferrata section, you'll reach the summit of Slovenia's highest mountain, with its incredible panoramic views. After some time for photos, you'll head back down first to the hut and then back to the valley and be driven back to Bled. You can choose to stay longer in Bled or we'll drop you at the bus station which runs local transfers until 7 pm.

The Mount Triglav climbing season is from July through October, though early- and late-season ascents are also possible. Summer weather on Triglav is quite cool; when it's pushing 30°C at lower altitudes, it may be just 10°C on Triglav summit. It often drops below freezing at night so don't forget to pack warm clothes Weather on the mountain is highly variable, bringing unexpected wind, rain and snow.
The mountain huts serve simple but hearty meals including meat stew, goulash, sausage, ham and eggs, polenta, bread with honey, wine, beer, tea and Turkish coffee. Most dietary requirements are catered for - just let us know before you go.
The minimum age is 18, or 16 if accompanied by a parent or guardian.
