What to expect with climbing Triglav in one day tour:
You will get the opportunity to climb Mt. Triglav in one day, accompanied by a professional IFMGA guide, who will help you reach the top in just around 8 hours.
You will meet your mountain guide early in the morning in Bled, from where you will drive to the Krma valley. After about 50 minutes of driving, you will start your 5-7 hour hike towards the Kredarica hut. If the weather is good, you will be able to enjoy an amazing view of the sunrise along the way.
Once you reach the hut called Triglavski dom, you can have a short pause and a snack. There, your guide will explain how to put on and use the via ferrata equipment that you will need to safely climb the last part of Triglav. You will need a harness, a helmet and a via ferrata set, which we will provide. To add some extra security, your mountain guide will also put you on a short rope. Upon leaving the hut, you will start with the via ferrata part, and after about 2 hours, you will finally reach the top and get to enjoy the amazing views of the Julian Alps. If the sky is clear, you will even be able to see the Adriatic Sea.
After reaching the summit, you will start you 6-8 hour-long descent back to the Krma valley, where the car is parked. The guide will then drive you back to Bled, where you started your tour.
If you are physically and mentally prepared for long walks and if you are short with time then Triglav in one day is a perfect pick for you.
