The first rays of the sun fall on the mountain walls and paint them red. Virgin white snow bleeps under your footsteps, the only thing you hear. You breathe in the sharp, fresh air and breathe out cold smoke. Tempted? Experience the beauty of the snowy Julian Alps and take a winter hike with us.
The hike will start at the 1300m high Pokljuka plateau. Our journey upward will begin with a hike through an enchanted winter forest, reaching a vast mountain pasture with picturesque shepherd’s cottages scattered all over the place. After a while, we will pass the forest line and reach a mountain hut for a short break. Then we will continue on the snow-covered slopes of the mountain. In approximately three hours, we will reach the summit and see that all the effort was worth it. The view of the snow-covered Triglav and surrounding mountains and valleys is one you definitely won’t forget. On our way back, we will stop again at the mountain hut and have a typical Slovenian mountain lunch. So if you’re looking for an authentic winter mountaineering experience, look no further and join us in the mountains.
