The Triglav Challenge, 4 days from £495 pp

Slovenia is one of Europe’s most under-rated destinations and the rugged Julian Alps are comparable to the Dolomites and form the northernmost part of the Dinaric Alps that stretch down through the Balkans to Bosnia and Albania. Mount Triglav (known locally as 'Old Mr. Three Heads') is the highest peak in the region rising to 2864 metres and every Slovenian is expected to conquer it at least once!

This new short walking break to the summit of Mount Triglav is ideal for the strong, experienced mountain walker in need of a 'quick fix' and it also includes the chance to experience a via ferrata. Walkers need to be fit with almost 2000 metres of ascent and descent, with up to 8 hours walking each day. On the walk a professional, licensed, English-speaking Slovenian mountain guide will accompany you.

The trip can commence any day in July and costs from £495 pp which includes 3 nights’ accommodation, some meals, transfers and the services of a guide. Flights can be booked on request. Call 01524 242 000 (www.walksworldwide.com).
