Lonely planet has voted top 10 countries, cities and regions to visit in 2018. We are proud Julian Alps is one of them! There approximately 150 mountains higher than 2.000 meters high with our highest pick Mt. Triglav (2.864 m). The name Julian Alps derives from the Julian dynasty who ruler on the southern side of the Alps and were first mentioned in ancient times. Here’s what they wrote about our beautiful region:
»With the natural appeal of Chamonix or Zermatt – but with fewer crowds – the Julian Alps offer mountain bliss in an overlooked corner of Europe. Over two-thirds of the region is protected by the Triglav National Park mandate, a mechanism that not only curbs development along the summits but ensures that improvements to local infrastructure are effected in a slow and studied manner. Once suitable only for the intrepid, the Julian Alps are gently opening the door to every stripe of traveller. A growing number of locally run operators are pairing pulse-racing treks with upmarket versions of homestays in stylish shepherd digs.«
