Staying safe in the mountains
Triglav National Park lies within Slovenia's famous Julian Alps, boasting some of the country's highest peaks. Although they do not exceed 3,000 metres above sea level, these mountains offer challenges similar to those found in Europe's highest alpine ranges. Weather conditions in the high mountains can change rapidly and the terrain is brittle and demanding. You should only attempt to climb the highest peaks if you are physically fit, have the right equipment and if mountain conditions allow. To make sure you enjoy the view from the top, read our tips for safe mountain travel.

Reserve a bed in a mountain hut
Mountain huts are a good place to find shelter, rest and refreshment. With 38 mountain huts scattered throughout Triglav National Park, the limited natural resources and remoteness of the area make it a challenge for the operators to meet all demands. Especially during the peak summer season, the number of visitors soars, increasing the rush to the mountain refuges and making it even more difficult to secure a bed. In order to secure accommodation and avoid disappointment, you should consider booking your bed in advance through the Alpine Association of Slovenia’s reservation system.
