As a family of 5 we did this walk in mid August, lead by Clara. Kids ranged from 10- 15 years. Stayed over night in the hostel and went up Triglav early on the second day, then returning to the start point at the end of the valley. . The guiding was just incredible, real attention to detail and safety. Its a tiring two days but it is so incredibly worthwhile. The sense of wow at the top of Triglav is indescribible. Incredible family 2 day walk / climb - so safe and professional. There was a huge priority emphasis on safety and enjoying the trip. It's definitely not easy but with these folks you are Ian very safe hands.

We had two wonderful guides - Nastja who took us up to the Kredarica mountain hut, and Matevz who then took us to the top and back down again. Both were extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and helped us feel like we were in tremendously safe hands, and allowed us to just enjoy the mountains. All the logistics were sorted and straightforward, and they adapted the timings to make sure we got the best weather and the best experience. Thanks both for this amazing experience!

Brilliant experience with Klara and Matevž. I joined a small group (just 3 others) as a solo traveler. The others were all very friendly, spoke great English (sorry for my lack of Flemish, French or Slovenian) and were a pleasure to climb with. The hike and the climb itself were easier than expected and I felt in safe hands at all times. Lots of time to relax at Kredarica hut. Very well organised.

My boyfriend, Cole, and I booked three tours with this outstanding company. We did the rafting, canyoning, and 2 day climb of Mount Triglav. Each tour these guys went above and beyond for us. They are some of the hardest working people we have met! They were exceptional, kind, and genuine people that we enjoyed hanging out with. We did an introduction to canyoning with Timo and Andraz, and we had a great time. If you have never done canyoning we highly recommend giving it a try. They have great equipment that is in very good condition for you to use, and the guides will make sure you stay safe while you are with them. Rafting was a fun day on the river, beautiful scenery and the rafting guides were also fun people. Climbing Mount Triglav was also an amazing experience. Matevž was our guide for the journey to the summit, and he was great. We started in the KRMA valley early in the morning, and as we hiked through the forest we were very lucky and able to see local wildlife in its natural habitat to include a Chamois and several Marmots. Matevž stories and jokes kept our minds off of our burning thighs as we ascended the mountain, and he made sure to set a good, reasonable pace that was good for us. When we started the Via Ferrata portion to the summit, Matevž helped us with our gear and made sure that we remained safe for the climb to the summit. He is a very accomplished climber and an excellent mountain guide who holds top certifications, and we would strongly recommend going with him if you are not an experienced mountaineer. The views from the top of Slovenia are breathtaking. We stayed the night in the “mountain hut” (mountain hotel is a better description, the accommodation and food were excellent for the top of a mountain!). The next morning Andraz met us as we finished our breakfast and guided us back down the mountain. He is a very cool and nice person and also a very accomplished mountain athlete, who shared a lot of his knowledge with us as we made our way down the mountain and back to the car. We saw three more Chamois and several bird species, and a fox in the forest. We cannot recommend Altitude Activities and their crew highly enough. They are a great company made up of great people. Jerry runs the show from the office and is a very nice guy, and good manager. We had to change some of our itinerary around unexpectedly and Jerry made sure we were still able to have a good time, it was seamless and easy. And he has the best 4 legged office assistant, Bella! Finally, tip your guides. They earn and deserve it! 😄

Booked an impromptu hike up Triglav with Altitude Activities and absolutely loved it! Total duration of the hike was 14h including breaks, covering 1,900m in altitude difference and 20km in distance. Not for the faint-hearted, physically demanding but worth every meter! Matt, my guide, was fantastic. Highly experienced, funny, witty and smart - always looking out for me and ensuring we would make it up and down the mountain safely. He’s also a very talented photographer and took amazing photos throughout the tour. The Altitude team was also very responsive via email and answered all my questions quickly and in great detail. The view at the summit was breath-taking! It’s something one has to experience and see with one’s own eyes. Book your tour now I’d say. 😊

I joined a 2-day trip to Triglav in September. Although there are some scary parts along the way to the top, I felt very safe thanks to Altitude Activities team. It was such a pleasant hike with you guys. Keep up the good work, you are doing really great! I would definitely recommend Altitude Activities to those who would like to conquer Triglav. Oh and be prepared to receive tons of cool photos of yourselves after the tour.

This was our first time to do a via ferrata, so we wanted to be safe and see if this would be something for us. Our guide Matt was super fun to be with and also a great help on the "tricky" parts. He really knew what he was doing and was very alert during the entire trip. We felt safe at all times and fell in love with being in the mountains. The experience of sleeping in a hut was also really nice. Great atmosphere! We feel homesick already... Will absolutely do something like this again.

Did Triglav in one day (couldnt find that option in tripadvisor) and had a great time with the group I was paired with and the guide Mat. I was considering going by myself but when I reached the ropes part I realised it was too advanced to do alone and I was grateful for Mat's guidance. Would recommend for any experience mountain climbers looking for a challenge!

We did the two day Triglav climb with Marko. Everything was well organised and we would definitely recommend doing your climb with this company. Marko was experienced and able to monitor the weather to pick a safe time for the accent from the hut to the summit. He took amazing photographs during the climb which he sent to us promptly after. We really enjoyed this experience!

I did 2 activities with altitude - the Triglav Summit hike over 2 days, and the Amazing Canyoning Adventure. Both were phenomenal. We had guides Matt and Marcos for the Triglav hike; both were very experienced, fun, and great company. The hike was reasonably tough, but they helped out the whole way, and it was the most rewarding activity during my trip. These 2 guys know a lot about the region and have been mountaineering in Slovenia for many years. I also did the canyoning with guide Urban. I was the only person in the group, yet Urban put in the effort and made it an enjoyable and memorable experience. I definitely felt safe in the entire canyon even with the big jumps. Matt, Marcos and Urban are hard-working, funny and competent local Slovenian guides and I would have no hesitation in recommending them. Thanks!

We signed up for this trip - a 2-day hike/climb to the top of Mt. Triglav (2864 meters) - several weeks in advance, the office people were friendly and pretty layed-back, provided us with the necessary information and said we could pay on the day of departure. A lot depends on the weather conditions, so settling on the final time and date of departure was done by phone the day before departure, that all worked fine. Our group consisted of 4 people plus Mat, the guide. The pace was pretty fast, the walk straight up the valley to the Triglav hut is quite demanding, though not technically so, it's just an uncompromising 1600 meter height gain, which we did in around 4-5 hours. The hut (Triglav hut) is large, very busy, and pleasantly rustic (don't expect hot water). Mostly for weather reasons Mat decided to push to the summit on the same day - after a couple of hours break in the hut, which we certainly needed. The final ascent is around 350 meters altitude gain, takes around 90 mins. This part is more demanding (via ferrata, you need a harness and helmet, provided by the tour; we were in fact all joined by rope for safety purposes, tho it might have been easier to provide everyone with their own carabiner to hook into the steel cable individually). Mat was a good guide, made sure everyone was ok and managed to take hundreds of amazing photos along the way, which we just received via file exchange - a wonderful service. We returned to the valley next morning, picked up by the company's van and taken back to various drop-off locations in and around Bled. All in all this was an amazing experience, very intense, certainly requiring good levels of fitness but really worth it. Personally I would have preferred to defer the ascent to the next morning (the weather was in fact perfect on that morning), but one has to trust the guide's instincts on this, and it worked well as it was. The information on the route, and the hut, was a bit sketchy, we sort of pieced it together ourselves as we went along, but in a way that added to the overall enjoyment, and we certainly felt in safe and competent hands. The price (245 Euros plus around 40 Euros for the hut accomodation, including evening meal) is pretty standard for a Triglav climb - all the operators have basically agreed on a standard rate - and on balance I would definitely recommend Altitude Activities as a very professional, friendly and reliable company for this trip.

Two weeks ago, I went on a adventurous whim and decided I was going to take on Mt. Triglav. Heard through the grapevine by locals that if you climb Mt. Triglav you become a "True Slovenian". The group that I went with hiked up to the hut and waited a few hours for the weather to clear and then climbed up Mt. Triglav the same day. We were able to avoid the crowds the first day and save a bit of energy for the hike back down. Matt was the guide for the 2 day Triglav trip and let me tell you...he was an amazing guide! You know you are in great hands when the guide has his hands in his pockets and it just looks like a walk in the park for him. He is very knowledgeable about the wildlife and the surrounding area. Bonus is that photography is his hobby. So you'll catch him taking pictures of the journey and the scenery. The office is really nice. I was able to rent gear (hiking boots, trekking poles, and a backpack) because I was not prepared and did not plan on hiking in general. I also bought hiking clothes at a nearby and only sports gear store. I am not an avid hiker and I do not...trek. So nothing to fear! If you sound like me, you can do it and reach Mt. Triglav. It is not easy, but with great group, guide, and determination, you will make it up there! I am not one to be afraid of heights but the climb up was a little nerve-racking. There were times where you feel like you are holding on for your dear life! Again, cannot stress enough that the guide made the group feel comfortable and in good hands. So tip #1, just keep going and don't look back. Also, the group you go with work as a team and are supportive. Overall, don't hesitate to experience Mt. Triglav! It is something you will never truly forget. It was the highlight of my trip and it was worth every penny. Beautiful scenery everywhere and great company to share the experience with. What more can you ask for? After hiking/climbing Mt. Triglav, I felt like a True Slovenian at heart! That moment sailed until actual locals passed by me at the speed of light.

The tour was very nice ! Well organized and excellent communication in the booking process and also on the day of the hike! Our guide Matt was amazing and very helpful all the way until we made it to the top! He was on time , explained everything thoroughly , took care of all our needs and kept us safe ! My only slightly negative comment is that he gave me an option to give up on the morning of the second day and asked me if I think I can make it to the top (it’s probably coz I was too slow in the first day)! But other than that he was great! :) For people considering taking this tour I have two suggestions: - if you are first time climbers and want more attention then ask for Matt and maybe book the private tour instead of the group! If you are a couple it’s not a big price difference - if you are experienced climbers then this one is quite easy and you can take a different route that is more challenging !

Če bi iskali osebo z največjim strahom pred višino, bi v slovarčku zagotovo našli moje ime (Alenka hahahaaha) 😉. Posledično sem se ravno zaradi tega že pred leti poslovila od sanj o vzponu na Triglav. A glej ga zlomka, ko spoznaš nekoga (beri – Matevža, Matota iz Altitude activities), ki se ti zdi vreden zaupanja, sprejmeš tudi ta izziv. Moj vzpon na Triglav je bil PREDVSEM zabaven, stress-free in ključen za naš familiarni foto album. Toplo priporočam! If you would look for a person with a greatest altitue fear, you would certainly find my name in a dictionary 😉. That is why I gave up on my dream of summiting Mt. Triglav. Until I've met Matevž from Altitude activities, who looked trustworthy to accept the challenge. My Mt. Triglav summit was fun, stress-free and and important asset to my family album. I warmly recommend it! Alenka

Mount Triglav is a great experience with a nice hike, exciting via ferrata section and stunning views. All done with excellent guides that gave information, shared stories and always made sure that everyone was safe and had a good time.

L’équipe est très professionnelle et réactive. Notre guide Matt sais mettre en confiance, écoute les besoins de ses clients, immortalise le trip en prenant des photos qu’il partage le lendemain de la descente. Je conseille cette agence qui a pignon sur rue pour votre activité plein air en Slovénie.
