Alpine Lakes Of Slovenia

Glacial lakes, steep mountain cliffs and forested valleys are all part of this walking tour in Slovenia. We walk along the shores of crystal clear lakes, through grassy meadows and over rolling hills. We also explore the cobbled streets and Venetian gothic architecture of Piran on the Adriatic coast, as well as visit the underground caves at Skocjan and the dramatic Predjama Castle.

With over 200 holidays to choose from, KE Adventure Travel has one of the very best collections of trekking and walking holidays worldwide. Graded on a scale from 1 to 12, we have holidays to suit everyone. Our tougher treks are likely to involve multi-day hikes through wilderness regions, with porter support and tented accommodation. Whilst at the other end of the scale, our softer walking holidays are more likely to be hotel or lodge-based with a day-walk format and an emphasis on uncovering the area's history, culture and cuisine. From our earliest days we've developed a range of treks that include celebrated classics such as Peru's Inca Trail trek, the ascent of Tanzania's Kilimanjaro and the ever popular Everest Base Camp trek in Nepal. Alongside these, we have always made it a priority to seek out distinctive and unique itineraries in less familiar areas such as Armenia, Cameroon, Madagascar and Burma. Whichever of our trekking or walking holidays you choose to undertake, you can be sure you'll enjoy breaking out of your day-to-day routine and exploring exotic landscapes on foot, with the chance to experience different cultures.

Julian Alps Lakes and Mountains

The Julian Alps lie at the eastern extremity of the main European alpine chain, straddling the border between Italy and north western Slovenia. Characterised by striking limestone peaks rising above blue lakes and alpine meadows dotted with tiny villages of traditional architecture, this area with its many varied trails is perfect for a hotel-based, moderately-paced walking holiday. Our base for this walking holiday is the pretty lakeside town of Bled with its iconic island church. In a series of day walks, we will explore the Karavanke Mountains on the border of Austria with its network of tunnels, the hidden valleys and waterfalls of the Martuljak Mountains and the beautiful forested Pokljuka plateau where shepherds and cow herders carry on a traditional way of life unhurried and unchanged for centuries. A highlight of the week is a two-day walk in the Triglav National Park where we make use of a cable car to get high into the Julian Alps and stay overnight in a mountain hut, stunningly located on the east-viewing ridge of the Komna Plateau overlooking Lake Bohinj. This classic ‘Lakes and Mountains' walking holiday is the perfect introduction to moderate alpine hiking in a spectacular setting and with all the comforts of a hotel base.

Across the Julian Alps to Triglav

Straddling northern Italy and Slovenia, the limestone massif of the Julian Alps is at its wildest and most impressive in the Triglav National Park. Similar to the Dolomites, the Julian Alps form the northernmost part of the Dinaric Alps and are seemingly designed for perfect mountain walking holiday. The stunningly beautiful reserve area of the Triglav National Park extends across a mountainous region of alpine pasture, pine forest, clear streams and rocky lakes, which is served by a number of well-established mountain huts and crossed by several superb waymarked trekking routes. Although not as high as the Western Alps, these mountains are spectacularly rugged and offer simply brilliant high-level alpine style walking. From the lakeside town of Bled, we transfer to the start of our walking near to the lake of Bohinj (Bohinjsko Jezero) and from here make an ascent of Crna Prst (1844m.) which overlooks the lake. Maintaining our height, we spend the next 3 days trekking on a wonderful ridge, traversing 2000 metre peaks, high above lush alpine valleys before crossing the Skrbina Pass (1891m). A gentler walking day in the ‘valley of the 7 lakes,' leads to the foot of the highest mountain in Slovenia, the spectacular triple-summitted Triglav (2864m). The climb to the top is airy, with some scrambling and sections of fixed cable - but the view is described by Baedeker as "... one of the most sublime among the Alps." We can look forward to extensive views across the Julian Alps and over the Karavanke and Kamnik Alps into Austria. This most memorable of mountain walking days provides a fitting climax to a brilliant week's walking holiday in Slovenia. If you are looking for a superb week of hut-to-hut alpine trekking, this holiday walking across the Julian Alps of Slovenia to the summit of Triglav is hard to beat.

Mount Triglav Weekend - Slovenia

Dominating the beautiful Julian Alps and the highlight of the Triglav National Park, Mount Triglav (2864m) is one of the most impressive mountains in Europe. Triglav, which means "three-headed, is a real giant with an impressive triple summit and a North Face that is reputedly the second most difficult in Europe to scale after the Eiger. Our superb journey starts in the beautiful town of Bled before we head up onto the lush Pokljuka Plateau, an area of alpine meadows, shepherd huts and lower peaks. Rugged trails take us into the heart of the Julian Alps as we prepare for the grand finale, an airy ridge walk that takes us to the top! The views from 2864m are awe inspiring, extending all the way to the Italian Dolomites and Austrian Alps. This adventurous short-break finishes in Lake Bled with its beautiful mountainous backdrop and laid-back atmosphere, the perfect place to chill-out and finish the weekend in style!
