Winter Hike to a Julian Alps Summit, Slovenia
A guided winter hike from the Pokljuka plateau to a summit above 2,000 metres, with views of Triglav, pickup from Ljubljana or Bled and winter gear included.
Most winter tours from Bled are sightseeing. This one is a real mountain day: a guided hike above the tree line to a Julian Alps summit higher than 2,000 metres, with Mount Triglav on the horizon.
You're picked up in Ljubljana or Bled and driven to Pokljuka, a high forested plateau in Triglav National Park. From there the guide picks a summit to suit the snow and the weather. Expect 5 to 6 hours of hiking with 500 to 700 metres of climbing.
Microspikes, trekking poles and a helmet are provided, and groups are capped at eight. Lunch at a mountain hut costs around €15 to €20 and is paid on the day. The minimum age is 14, and the tour needs at least two people to run. Want something gentler? The snowshoe walk in the Julian Alps stays on easy ground.
