Climbing Mont Triglav from Krma valley

Yes, it's possible to join a group to climb Mt Triglav from Krma Valley. We have weekly departures on Sunday and Wednesday from mid-June till the end of September. When inquiring, please specify if you wish to join a group or have a private ascent.

You can select a different climb or reschedule the date of your ascent if the weather is poor or if the conditions are insufficient to complete the climb safely. If none of these solutions work for you, you will receive a partial refund less the fees.

The ascent of Mount Triglav from the Krma Valley is regarded as being of intermediate difficulty. Although it isn't particularly challenging, the last stretch features a few exposed, steep portions that require the use of the rope. You must be in good physical shape and have no fear of heights. You need to be able to walk continuously for up to 6 hours. No climbing experience is needed.

The Technical equipment which will be used on the 2nd day (helmet and harness) will be provided by myself.

Please bring with you the following items:

• headlamp

• warm clothing

• waterproof jacket and trousers

• gloves

• hat

• sunglasses

• sunscreen

• hiking shoes

• poles

• backpack (30 L)

• water bottle

• medicine prescribed by your doctor

• camera

• energy bars, chocolates, and other food for during the climb.

On day 1, we’ll hike between 5 and 7 hours. The altitude gain is 1500 meters.

On day 2, we’ll hike between 3 and 5 hours from the hut (Triglavski dom) to the top and back. Then, we’ll hike around 4 hours from the hut to the start of the hike in the valley.

The ascent starts at around 8 am on the first day and finishes at around 4 pm on the second day.

The price includes:

• the guiding fee

• the helmet & the harness for the via ferrata section on the 2nd day

• the transportation from and to your accommodation

On top of this, you’ll need to cover the hut fee and the food (around €70 per person). Please bring cash with you.

We’ll stay at Triglavski dom after hiking for 5 to 7 hours from Krma Valley. The hut is very comfortable. It has blankets, sheets and mattresses. The accommodation, meals and drinks are around 70€ per person. I’ll reserve your sport, but you’ll need to pay it when we are there.

I'll pick you up at your place (if you stay in Bled, Bohinj or Kranjska Gora) on the morning of the first day. I will let you know about the exact pick-up time a day or two before we go, as it will depend on the weather conditions.

I recommend you to stay in one of these villages before your Triglav climb: Bled, Kranjska Gora or Mojstrana.

Here are some suggestions of places to stay in:

In Bled:

• Garni Hotel Berc

• Old Bled House

• Old Parish House

In Kranjska Gora;

• Kotnik hotel

• Spik hotel

• Julijana Guest House Martin

In Mojstrana:

• Hostel Lukna

I'll pick you up in the morning and drive you back after the climb.

The mountain hut where we'll stay offers diet food. The dinner is usually pasta with meat, or a type of stew like cabbage, barley, etc. For breakfast, they serve eggs, bread, marmalade, honey...

On the first day of the hike, we allow a maximum of 8 people accompanied by one guide. On the second day, we limit the group size to a maximum of 4 people, for safety reasons.

Although we cannot take responsibility for your luggage, you are welcome to leave it in our car. We have never had any issues with guests leaving their luggage in the cars over the past 14 years. Alternatively, you may wish to check with your accommodation if they can help you with this.

My own children climbed Triglav before reaching the age of 7. With nearly 2000 vertical meters to climb, this adventure demands a certain level of hiking experience and familiarity. What makes this accomplishment even more fulfilling is when the desire to conquer Triglav emanates from the children themselves, rather than solely being their parents' aspiration. This genuine enthusiasm significantly contributes to a smoother and more enjoyable ascent for everyone involved.

Once at the summit, the via ferrata poses little challenge for children, granted they do not have fear of heights. Interestingly, they often derive even greater enjoyment from this thrilling form of climbing compared to adults. The via ferrata route is designed to be technically accessible, eliminating the necessity for prior climbing experience.

The closest and most convenient airport is Ljubljana. From there, you can take a direct bus to Bled, which runs regularly. For schedules, you can check here (https://www.ap-ljubljana.si/en/timetable). Alternatively, you can fly into nearby airports, such as Klagenfurt, Trieste, or Venice, though getting to Bled from these locations is more complicated and may require additional transport arrangements.

We plan to complete the tour in time for evening flights, so you should have no issues with flights departing after 7 pm.
