What to expect on climbing Triglav from the last cabin to the peak tour?
When you book Triglav from the Kredarica hut or Planika hut tour, you will notify our office staff where you would like to meet with our guide. The meeting point depends on in which mountain cottage you will spend the night. The guide will wait for you at the Kredarica hut or the Planika hut in the early morning hours. If you would like to reach the summit in one day without spending the night in a mountain cabin, you can make an appointment with a guide in the late morning.
Start of the hike from the last mountain cabin
When meeting, the guide will give you all the equipment you need for a safe Triglav from Kredarica hut or Planika hut climb. You will get a harness, helmet and a via ferrata set. The guide will explain how to use the equipment properly and will put you on a short rope. The guide will give you further directions about the route that lies ahead.
An exciting ascent to the highest mountain in Slovenia
You will start the hike passing the right side of the cottage and down to a smaller ridge between Triglav and Kredarica. From here you will ascend to the patch of the Triglav glacier. Then you will start climbing the via Ferrata trail, which leads steeply uphill to Mali Triglav. It will take about 30 minutes for this ascent. In this part, you will climb in a roped party, which is part of the professional IFMGA guidance. From Mali Triglav, the trail descends, followed by an exposed but well-protected trail on the ridge. Then the route scales and leads you to the Aljaž Tower at the top of Mt. Triglav. From here, you can admire the spectacular views in every direction.
When can you join Triglav from the Kredarica hut or Planika hut tour?
A mountaineering tour from the last cabin to the top and back is available every Wednesday and Sunday. The best season to climb is in the summer as the weather is more pleasant with no snow on the route. If there are more than 4 participants, you will be accompanied by two guides. This tour is a perfect choice if you would like to have safety guidance on a 2-hour via ferrata route. It will take you 3 hours to ascend from the last cottage to the peak and back, then another 6-hour hike to the parking place in Krma Valley, from where the guide will drive you back to Bled.
