Summit Mt Triglav (2,863m)

Please see the INCLUSIONS & EXCLUSIONS section above.

The hike is of moderate difficulty, suitable for reasonably fit hikers comfortable walking for up to 8 hours a day. No previous via ferrata experience is required.

The minimum age is 18, or 16 if accompanied by a parent or guardian.

We recommend the following basic gear; - suitable mountaineering clothing (At least 4 layers of clothing) - hiking tops - mountaineering pants and spare pants, - wind jacket - sunhat/ cap - warm beanie - gloves - backpack (at least 35 l) - hiking boots - personal first aid kit (any meds you need) - sunglasses - sunscreen

It’s highly recommended you take out personal travel insurance. Travel cover protects you in the case of unforeseen circumstances including cancellations, injuries, equipment loss, flight changes and other events that could negatively impact your trip. We suggest specialist adventure travel insurers, [Rise & Shield](https://riseandshield.com/). They cover 100s of activities and are easy to deal with if you need to make a claim. They also cover unique scenarios, like trekking at altitude or emergency evacuation in hard-to-reach places, that ordinary travel insurance doesn’t cover.

Day 1: No hiking Day 2: Start altitude: 980m End altitude: 2515m Time: 5 - 7 hours Day 3 Start altitude: 2515m Max altitude: 2864m End altitude: 980m Time: 8 - 9 hours

Generally, we take small groups of 3-4 people with one guide. Sometimes we can accommodate bigger groups but it depends on availability of extra guides as well as space in vehicles and accomodation

Day 1- guests arrive in Bled on their own. You can arrive at the hostel anytime before 9pm. Day 2 (10 August) - The guide usually picks up guests around 6 a.m., or 7 a.m. - depending on the weather prognosis. Day 3: On the final day, you will be dropped back in Bled or the bus station. Local buses run to the airport and other destinations until 7 pm. The time we get back to Bled depends on whether we summit on Day 2 already or on Day 3. Note: Summit day depends on the weather. In case the weather is better on Day 2 (the first day of the ascent), the group will approach to the hut in the afternoon and after a break, continue to the summit. We'd then return and sleep and trek down the next morning after breakfast. If the weather on Day 3 is looking better to summit, we start a bit later on Day 2 and only hike up to the hut.

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.

Unfortunately, although the success rate for Mount Triglav is very high, we can't guarantee summit success on every trip. Weather conditions, personal health and other circumstances may mean it's necessary for an individual or group to turn back. It is at the guides discretion to make a call and implement any itinerary changes as seen fit.

On the first night, you will sleep in Bled at a cosy hostel. The hostel has Wifi and warm showers. There are 4 people to a room. A private, double room is available for an extra 50EUR (please message before the trip to confirm availability). On the second day, you will sleep in a mountain hut called Triglavski Dom. This is basic accommodation in dormitory rooms. The rooms have bunk beds with pillows, sheets and blankets. You can bring your own sleeping bag or bag liner if you wish. There are no showers available at the mountain huts but there is water to wash your hands and brush your teeth. You have access to plug points to charge your phones in the restaurant.
