Description

Come join me on this incredible 3-day trek in Slovenia, where we’ll wander from hut-to-hut around pristine lakes in the beautiful valley of Lepena, surrounded by high mountains, fresh air and blooming wild flowers.

We’ll walk on a sunny trail, past craggy mountains, Alpine pastures and glacial lakes in one of the most beautiful regions in Europe.

You’ll be stunned by the scenic vistas of Lake Triglav and Lake Črno surrounded by enchanting hills.

Our beautiful trek will begin and end in the Lepena Valley. It is a part of the Soča Valley through which River Soča flows. With water as green as emerald, it is considered one of the most beautiful rivers in Europe.

We’ll trek towards the glacial lake of Krnsko jezero(1385 m) from Lepena valley. Situated at the foothills of Krn mountain(2244 m), this idyllic place provides spectacular views of the neighbouring summits.

The 400m long lake is surrounded by awe-inspiring yellow Kerner Alpine poppy and white cottongrass. We’ll be reminded of the Isonzo Front as we walk past fire trenches, caverns and wire fences until we reach the cosy Komna Hut.

Next, we’ll venture into the beautiful Valley of Triglav Lakes, also known as the Seven Lakes Valley. This valley has been protected as a national park since 1924.

You’ll notice diverse wildlife, rich flora and well-developed Karst topography as we’ll walk past its varied terrain.And did you know that the legendary Goldhorn or Zlatorog is considered to reside on the heights of Mount Triglav!

We’ll visit the Double Lake (1,685m) and the Black Lake, the warmest of the Seven Lakes( 1,319m) before we reach the Bogatin hut.

On the last day, we’ll head back to Lepena valley, after spending some quality time in nature.

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

Valeriya

You’re simply the best!!! :))) Explore-Share made everything easy and stress-free. Will definitely use again.

Joshua

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
