Description
The landscape and the journey
Justi Carey, Roy Clark and Roberto Lombardo organise Slovenia’s Julian Alps around Kranjska Gora, Bohinj, Bovec, Bled and Kobarid. Combine lakes, valleys and woods with higher limestone mountains, using one or several bases.
Routes and itinerary options
The 40 routes comprise 37 day walks of approximately 4–24 kilometres and three multi-day treks, graded 1–4. Triglav, Jalovec, Mangart and the Triglav lakes feature alongside easier Bled, Bohinj and Soča options.
Maps and practical planning
1:50,000 maps and Cicerone GPX files accompany distance, elevation, difficulty, starts and transport information. Huts, village accommodation, equipment and food support both day walks and overnight mountain journeys. Use the route information to compare stages, plan your stops and check practical arrangements before departure.
Choosing the right trip
Harder high routes demand experience, a head for heights and suitable equipment. Some have via-ferrata-style protection; helmet and protection equipment are discussed. Highest routes normally require summer snow clearance and open huts. Choose an itinerary that fits your experience and available time, allowing flexibility for weather and local conditions.
