 Our main objective on this gay group expedition will be to climb Mt Triglav, Slovenia's highest mountain and to trek in the surrounding Triglavski National Park. There are also lots of adrenaline filled activities planned for our last few days in the country. Triglav National Park, in the Julian Alps of north-western Slovenia, was named after the highest mountain in Slovenia, Mt. Triglav, which rises to an elevation of 2864 metres. This dynamic mountain karst terrain features picturesque mountain peaks and valleys as well as numerous natural and cultural attractions and is ideal for activities in nature and for spending your leisure time actively.
Slovenia lies in Eastern Europe bordering Austria and Italy to the North and Croatia to the South. The Slovenia Adventure Week offers all the best outdoor activities that Slovenia has to offer. Triglav is a low altitude peak (2864m) that involves some scrambling to reach the summit. The ridge is equipped with an iron walkway called a Via Ferrata to help us reach the top securely. During this trek we will be staying in mountain huts and pensions which are similar to hostels and eating local cuisine.
After the four day trek in the stunning Julian Alps we will travel to Bovec to raft on the world famous emerald Soca river. This river runs through Slovenia and Italy and eventually drains into the Adriatic Sea near Trieste. After returning to the Bled/Bohinj area via the Trenta Valley we will then spend a couple of days canyoning and mountain biking in Triglavski National Park. Our final night will be spent in a hostel in Ljubljana and where there will be the opportunity to do some sightseeing in the capital of this friendly little country.
