Introduction

Triglav is the highest peak in Slovenia, standing at 2864 metres above sea level. It is not only a national symbol, but also a popular destination for hikers and mountain enthusiasts. The route to the summit is steep, but well-marked. It does not require specialist climbing skills. Nonetheless, due to the steep ascent, the climb can be demanding, especially for those with weaker physical fitness

Weather

In summer, conditions on Triglav are generally good, though changeable. Temperatures range from 10 to 20 degrees Celsius, and rainfall is relatively rare. The trails are usually free of snow, but be prepared for changing weather conditions, particularly fog and strong winds.

In winter, Triglav is covered in snow and ice, making the climb more demanding. Temperatures at the summit can drop to as low as -20 degrees Celsius, and weather conditions are typically harsh and unpredictable. Winter climbing may require specialist equipment and climbing skills.

Getting there

The nearest airport is Ljubljana Airport (LJU). Upon arrival, you can rent a car and head northwest towards the Vrata Valley. The drive from the airport to the valley takes around 2 hours. Alternatively, you can take a bus from Ljubljana to Kranjska Gora, and then to the Vrata Valley.

Trailhead

The trailhead is located at the Aljažev dom mountain hut in the Vrata Valley. There is parking available where you can leave your car before starting the hike.

Route to the summit

The trail to Triglav starts out gently, leading through forest, but becomes increasingly steep as it approaches the Dom Planika mountain hut. The trail is well-marked with numerous signs and posts indicating the way. From the trail, you can admire magnificent views of the surrounding valleys and mountains. The estimated time needed to reach the summit from the starting point is 5-6 hours. On the final section of the trail before reaching the summit, the use of side railings and chains is required. This may pose a challenge for those with a fear of heights. Nonetheless, it is not technically difficult and most people should be able to manage it.

Accommodation

En route to the summit is the Dom Planika mountain hut, where you can spend the night before continuing the hike to the summit the next day. The hut offers accommodation, meals, and essential information about the trail and weather conditions. It is recommended to book accommodation in advance, especially during peak tourist season, as the hut can become quickly filled up.
