“I went on the Seven Triglav Lakes Hike with Altitude Activities in late September during a three-week trip to Croatia and Slovenia. It was without a doubt one of the highlights of my visit. The scenery is spectacular, and my tour guide Aleksandra was absolutely wonderful. We had such a fun day together in the mountains, and her joy and enthusiasm were contagious. She was also very conscientious about safety and speed, always making sure that everyone in the group was comfortable with the pace, etc. Next time I’m in Lake Bled, I will 100% book another tour with this company and with Aleksandra specifically!”

Leave Bled for Pokljuka Plateau and hike with an English-speaking mountain guide to 2,014-meter Debela Peč. The six-hour outing includes broad Julian Alps views, Lake Bled from above, photo stops, and a break at a mountain hut for traditional Slovenian food.

“Amazing hike with two lovely guides! It was our first time hiking in snow but they were really reassuring and well prepared for the hike. The views on the way up and at the top was magnificent! The trail started off easy and got harder towards the top but it was worth the effort. We stopped by a hut halfway and had a hearty meal (big portion!). The guy manning the hut was very friendly as well and gave us homemade bread and cake! This was the main highlight of our trip and though it was moderately challenging, we will highly recommend this to beginners who are fit and adventurous!…”
