Via ferrata is a perfect blend of hiking and climbing! If you've got a good level of fitness, it's a great way to try fixed cable-way routes and summit Slovenia's highest mountain!

Day 3: Summit Mt. Triglav (2,864m)

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.

A fantastic trip. Anita and Franz were great guides. I learnt a lot about the surrounding area of the Julian Alps and thoroughly enjoyed my experience. I look forward to going back to Slovenia to see a bit more

I had a fantastic experience on this Triglav hike. The guide was very friendly and good at making us confident. We had good quality equippment. Only comment regarding the meals. It says half-board but we did not receive any breakfast on the first day, nor could we buy some at the start of the hike. Yo be on the save side i had bought bread so i could quickely eat while walking at the start of the hike, at 6 AM. It would be great to clarify which meals we have to take with us, which ones are available to buy from the huts and which ones are covered in the price.

Awesome experience, the most fun I've had this year. Our guide Blaz was excellent, fun, and (importantly) safety-conscious.

I would recommend doing the trip with a group of friends but probably not if you are a solo traveller as the enjoyability largely depends on the group and guide. If the weather is bad you will be in the hut for the whole afternoon / evening with not much to do. The room we were given was so small only one person could stand up, all the beds were pushed together. You do not have an option to pay for a separate room, even if you are the only female in a tiny room with men or offer to pay for every bed in an empty room. The guide wasn’t happy to I had asked. There is no water at the hut and a small bottle of water is €3. No water is included in the evening meal. The mountain was beautiful and the scenery incredible. Climbing to the top was a great experience.

FAQs

Before you go

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.

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. 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.

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
On your trip

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.
Other FAQs

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.
