- A good cardio exercise to keep you in good shape

- Friendly and knowledgeable local guide
What to expect?
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.
