Fast, secure, risk-free booking guaranteed.
As the wildlife wakes up from its winter slumber and meadows become flooded with blooming wildflowers, there’s no better time to go on a quintessential Alpine adventure. Over the course of three long days, hike hut to hut in the Seven Lakes Valley, a peaceful oasis nested in the heart of Julian Alps—Slovenia’s pride and joy. Saunter through verdant pastures, admire the sweeping views of deep turquoise lakes, and indulge in authentic Slovenian meals, including a cheese tasting at a local artisan shop. Nights will be spent in two different mountain huts, each sporting a better view than the last: the Vodnik Lodge loftily perched on a cliff, hemmed in by Alpine peaks and the Triglav Lake Lodge sitting right by the lake, sheltered by conifer woodlands. Join this summer tour and see it for yourself!

What you get on this adventure:
What’s not included:
This three-day hut-to-hut hike in the Seven Lakes Valley is suited for people with reasonable fitness levels and with basic hiking experience—it’s suitable for anyone who’s able to hike for half of the day. You’ll be walking around 12 km (7.5 miles) a day and the most you’ll vertically gain is 1,300 m (4,265 ft), all while carrying a backpack for three days in a row. The trails are sometimes narrow and uneven with some loose and rocky sections, but they’re not overly technical.
For clothing, we recommend bringing:
Here’s a list of other things you’ll need:
Dress comfortably and for the weather in clothes you can move in. We suggest bringing clothing appropriate for the season. Layers are best and don’t wear jeans.
You’ll be staying at two lodges during your hut-to-hut hiking tour in the Seven Lakes Valley, with the first one being the Vodnik Lodge. Perched at an elevation of 1,817 m (5,965 ft), the Vodnik Lodge is encircled by Alpine peaks. Dating back to 1895 and named after a Slovenian Enlightenment poet Valentin Vodnik, the lodge can accommodate up to 70 people and it has 50 seats in dining rooms and on the lodge’s terrace. It has its own drinking water source and a generator for electricity, but the real showstopper is its location and its unparalleled view.
For your second night, you’re staying at the Triglav Lake Lodge, sitting at an elevation of 1,453 m (4,770 ft). The lodge is nested right by the lake and it’s surrounded by lush spruce forests. There are 80 seats in catering rooms and 90 beds, and it also has electricity.
These mountain huts don’t have single rooms, but there are private rooms for 2 or 4 people. Reach out to us if you would like to be placed in a more private room. We can’t promise anything, as such mountain huts are very popular in the summer, but we’ll try to accommodate you as you wish!
