    Hike and Bike provide a great service. We did a family hike with Luka in Ribcev Laz area. It was a special day out. Great value for money. Very reassuring. Lots of local knowledge and information. And great food in the Mountain Hut on our … More way back down. Thank you.

FAQ

Hiking tours in the Julian Alps – your questions

How fit do I need to be for a self-guided hiking holiday in the Julian Alps?

If you enjoy walking 4–6 hours a day on mountain paths, you’ll be fine on most of our tours. Each tour is graded: Best of walking in Bohinj (moderate) is a great first hiking holiday, while the hut-to-hut tours involve longer climbs and alpine terrain.

What is hut-to-hut hiking and is my luggage transferred?

Hut-to-hut means you sleep in mountain huts high in Triglav National Park and walk from one hut to the next – mountain hut bookings are included on all hut-to-hut tours. Most huts can’t be reached by car, so you carry a light daypack and the rest of your luggage waits for you at the end of the trail.

What are the best hikes in Triglav National Park?

The hiking season runs from late spring to autumn. Valley and lake trails open earlier; high-mountain routes and huts are usually open from mid-June to late September. September is often the most beautiful – stable weather and fewer people.

When is the best time for hiking in the Julian Alps and Triglav National Park?

The hiking season runs from late spring to autumn. Valley and lake trails open earlier; high-mountain routes and huts are usually open from mid-June to late September. September is often the most beautiful – stable weather and fewer people.

Can I hike the Juliana Trail self-guided?

Yes. The Juliana Trail is a long-distance trail of around 270 km in 16 stages around the Julian Alps. We offer its most scenic stages as a self-guided holiday with accommodation booking, luggage transfers and GPS navigation.

What if the weather changes or I get lost on the trail?

Mountain weather can change quickly, so we share forecasts and safer alternatives for your stages. Offline GPS navigation in our Digital Guide keeps you on track without mobile signal, and our local team is on hand by WhatsApp and phone.

How do I get to Bohinj without a car?

Most of our tours start in Bohinj, which is easy to reach by bus from Ljubljana or Bled, or by the scenic Bohinj railway to Bohinjska Bistrica. We send exact directions with your travel documents.

Can I climb Mt. Triglav on a self-guided tour?

Mt. Triglav (2,864 m) involves exposed, secured sections, so we recommend climbing it with a certified guide. Add our guided Mt. Triglav climb before or after your self-guided holiday.
