About the experience
The route begins among traditional dairy pastures beneath the southern Julian Alps. From there, it climbs onto panoramic ridges and continues across more than ten summits above 2,000 metres.
Much of the traverse stays high above the valleys, with views across Bohinj, Komna and the Triglav Lakes Valley. A short and relatively easy protected section adds an alpine element before the final descent into the Trenta Valley.
The terrain is technically mostly moderate, but the long hiking days and cumulative elevation gain require good fitness, previous mountain hiking experience and confidence on exposed ridges.
