Climb Mount Triglav in 2 Days | IFMGA Guide | From Bled
Description
Every Slovenian dreams of standing on Triglav. This is how you do it properly. At 2,864 meters, Mount Triglav is the highest peak in Slovenia, the centerpiece of Triglav National Park, and a national symbol so profound it sits on the country's flag. Over two days, your IFMGA-certified guide leads you from the valleys of the Julian Alps all the way to the summit, through alpine meadows, past mountain huts, and up a via ferrata that will push you in the best possible way. This isn't just a climb. It's a two-day immersion in Slovenia's greatest mountain. On day one you hike to the Kredarica mountain hut (2,515m), where you'll spend the night above the clouds with dinner, a warm bed, and a guide who knows the mountain intimately. On day two you gear up; harness, helmet, via ferrata set all included and make the final push to the Aljaž Tower at the summit. No logistics to worry about. Just two days that will stay with you for the rest of your life.

Amazing guides with so much knowledge about Triglav and Slovenia. My family and I felt so safe and had a lot of fun. Would recommend to anyone who wants to attempt this amazing climb. We took the Krma valley trail up to Krederica, which was very challenging. The Via Ferrata was just as challenging. Not for the fate of heart.
Thank you so much! We’re really glad you and your family felt safe and had fun – the Krma route and Via Ferrata are no small feat! 💪 Well done on completing the challenge, and we hope to see you back in the mountains someday! 😊
Altitude activities are amazing company! All the communication, guides, hike and climbing were amazing. I will highly recommend it for everybody. 10 points 🫶
Thank you so much for the kind words and the 10 points! We're really glad you enjoyed the Triglav tour. Hope to see you again!
What an amazing experience from start to finish. The professionalism of these guides is second to none. I have done a few guided hikes but this one was my favourite experience because for this company they make the experience more about you. There is no rush. They give the best opportunity for the best views. Klara and Matevź knowledge and skills on the mountain was outstanding and we felt very safe at all times. The food in the hut was lovely and we had a good night sleep before making our way back down. The best experience, thank you so much lads 😀 Very nice 😝and we are already looking at coming back for the winter climb. Sinead and Kris xx
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re truly happy to hear that your experience stood out among the guided hikes you’ve done so far. Klara and Matevž will be thrilled to hear your kind words. We’ll be looking forward to welcoming you back for the winter climb. Until then, take care and thank you again for choosing us!
What an amazing experience! The staff at Altitude Activities are super helpful and friendly. The mountain views were spectacular throughout the whole tour. I would highly recommend this adventure to anyone who loves the mountains and wants a challenge! Thank you Klara and Matevz!
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear you had an amazing experience and enjoyed the mountain views throughout the tour. Klara and Matevž will be very happy to hear your feedback. We hope to see you back in the mountains again someday!
This is a very enjoyable climb which can be achieved with a decent level of fitness. Slightly technical parts are made safe by the guides and the via ferrata. Our guides (Clara for the treks to the hut & back and Franc for the summit) were excellent and made sure that everyone had a safe & enjoyable time. Personally, I'm quite fit but not an athlete, and I think I *could* have made the trip in a day, but I was glad of the extra time to enjoy the views, wildlife and company, and this would be my recommendation to anyone not short of time or chasing a personal best.
Thank you for your review! We're pleased to hear you enjoyed the climb and felt safe with our guides, Klara and Franc. It's great that you were able to take your time to appreciate the views, wildlife, and company.
As a family of 5 we did this walk in mid August, lead by Clara. Kids ranged from 10- 15 years. Stayed over night in the hostel and went up Triglav early on the second day, then returning to the start point at the end of the valley. . The guiding was just incredible, real attention to detail and safety. Its a tiring two days but it is so incredibly worthwhile. The sense of wow at the top of Triglav is indescribible. Incredible family 2 day walk / climb - so safe and professional. There was a huge priority emphasis on safety and enjoying the trip. It's definitely not easy but with these folks you are Ian very safe hands.
Thank you for sharing your experience. We're thrilled Clara made your trek to Triglav memorable and safe. It's a challenging journey, but ensuring the safety and enjoyment of our trekkers is our top priority. We're glad your family felt the magic at the top! We hope to guide you on another adventure soon.
We had two wonderful guides - Nastja who took us up to the Kredarica mountain hut, and Matevz who then took us to the top and back down again. Both were extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and helped us feel like we were in tremendously safe hands, and allowed us to just enjoy the mountains. All the logistics were sorted and straightforward, and they adapted the timings to make sure we got the best weather and the best experience. Thanks both for this amazing experience!
Great experience, highly recommended to everyone! Beautiful nature and breathtaking view. We had great time with the guides, who are extremely professional and pleasant. Everything was perfectly organised, we really enjoyed every moment so much!
Hi there! Thank you for a great 5-star review! We are so happy that you found this experience fantastic from many different points of view. Yes, our guides indeed do it all to deliver an exciting but safe experience at the same time. Feel free to revisit anytime. Best wishes, Team Altitude Activities
Brilliant experience with Klara and Matevž. I joined a small group (just 3 others) as a solo traveler. The others were all very friendly, spoke great English (sorry for my lack of Flemish, French or Slovenian) and were a pleasure to climb with. The hike and the climb itself were easier than expected and I felt in safe hands at all times. Lots of time to relax at Kredarica hut. Very well organised.
Dear, thank you for your brilliant review. We appreciate it very much! We are happy that you enjoyed in our beautiful mountains and also, felt safe with us :) You are welcome to visit us again, next time you come to Slovenia. Wish you all the best! Altitude Activities team
My boyfriend, Cole, and I booked three tours with this outstanding company. We did the rafting, canyoning, and 2 day climb of Mount Triglav. Each tour these guys went above and beyond for us. They are some of the hardest working people we have met! They were exceptional, kind, and genuine people that we enjoyed hanging out with. We did an introduction to canyoning with Timo and Andraz, and we had a great time. If you have never done canyoning we highly recommend giving it a try. They have great equipment that is in very good condition for you to use, and the guides will make sure you stay safe while you are with them. Rafting was a fun day on the river, beautiful scenery and the rafting guides were also fun people. Climbing Mount Triglav was also an amazing experience. Matevž was our guide for the journey to the summit, and he was great. We started in the KRMA valley early in the morning, and as we hiked through the forest we were very lucky and able to see local wildlife in its natural habitat to include a Chamois and several Marmots. Matevž stories and jokes kept our minds off of our burning thighs as we ascended the mountain, and he made sure to set a good, reasonable pace that was good for us. When we started the Via Ferrata portion to the summit, Matevž helped us with our gear and made sure that we remained safe for the climb to the summit. He is a very accomplished climber and an excellent mountain guide who holds top certifications, and we would strongly recommend going with him if you are not an experienced mountaineer. The views from the top of Slovenia are breathtaking. We stayed the night in the “mountain hut” (mountain hotel is a better description, the accommodation and food were excellent for the top of a mountain!). The next morning Andraz met us as we finished our breakfast and guided us back down the mountain. He is a very cool and nice person and also a very accomplished mountain athlete, who shared a lot of his knowledge with us as we made our way down the mountain and back to the car. We saw three more Chamois and several bird species, and a fox in the forest. We cannot recommend Altitude Activities and their crew highly enough. They are a great company made up of great people. Jerry runs the show from the office and is a very nice guy, and good manager. We had to change some of our itinerary around unexpectedly and Jerry made sure we were still able to have a good time, it was seamless and easy. And he has the best 4 legged office assistant, Bella! Finally, tip your guides. They earn and deserve it! 😄
