Julian Alps

The Julian Alps, anchored by the majestic Triglav National Park, form the heart of Slovenia’s most celebrated mountain landscape. Triglav, the country’s highest peak at 2,864 meters, rises above a region renowned for its pristine nature, dramatic vistas, and rich biodiversity. Covering nearly 84,000 hectares, the park is Slovenia’s only national park and a UNESCO-recognized biosphere reserve, offering a sanctuary for both wildlife and traditional alpine communities.

Visitors to the Julian Alps can explore a vast network of hiking trails, ranging from gentle valley walks to challenging ascents, including the iconic Triglav 7 Lakes Hiking Traverse. The area is also popular for mountain biking, water sports on glacial lakes, and winter activities such as skiing and ski touring. Each season brings its own charm, from wildflower meadows in spring to snow-capped peaks in winter.

Information centers in Bled, Bohinj, Trenta, Mojstrana, and Kobarid provide resources and guidance for planning your adventure. The park is home to 33 settlements, where visitors can experience local culture and hospitality alongside breathtaking scenery.

There are no specific opening hours or admission fees for Triglav National Park, but visitors are encouraged to prepare adequately, respect conservation guidelines, and check current trail and weather conditions. Whether you seek outdoor adventure or tranquil moments in nature, the Julian Alps in Triglav offer an unforgettable Slovenian experience.
