@sightofsara TOUR DE JULIAN ALPS with Mt. Triglav summit climb
The unspoilt mountains of the Julian Alps are a breath of fresh air for walkers and mountaineers who come to enjoy the lush green valleys, crystal-clear rivers and dramatic limestone peaks. Tour de Julian Alps is Hut-to-hut trekking that traverses the Julian Alps across the most beautiful parts of this breathtaking mountain range.
Wherever you are in the Julian Alps, it is possible to discover the natural beauties on foot. There are more than seven thousand kilometers of marked trails in the mountains of Slovenia, along which there are 165 mountain lodges, huts and bivouacs. The mountain world offers an abundance of both, easily accessible marks and those more difficult ones, which can be reached with the help of experienced mountain guides.
This trekking tour is truly something special, a proper adventure with a capital “A.” It offers hikers—on what is not a demanding route—the chance to experience the immense richness of the mountains, complete with numerous alpine lakes, lush valleys, and rugged ridges. Here, nature is alive and unique. Along the way, hikers will visit three of the most beautiful—if we may say so—mountain huts, each situated in extraordinary locations and steeped in history. Let us invite you on a truly stunning trekking tour through some of the most breathtaking mountain ranges in the European Alps.
