Guidebook describing 40 walks in the Julian Alps of Slovenia. The routes in the Julian Alps range from easy walks to more challenging options, and multi-day treks.
Seasons
From July to September when the snow has melted, huts are open and public transport is frequent. Low-altitude routes from May to October in good years.Centres
The routes are described from five bases, all of which have tourist infrastructure: Kranjska Gora, Bohinj, Bovec, Bled and Kobarid.Difficulty
Some routes are valley walks, which almost anyone can do, while others are high mountain routes requiring mountaineering experience and a head for heights. Peaks are snow-free by early July in normal summers so ice-axe and crampons are not usually needed, and difficult sections are mostly covered by via ferrata style protection. Self-belaying (via ferrata) kit and a helmet are recommended. The book has a grading system from 1 (easy) to 4 (serious).Must See

Their passion for the outdoors has since led to travels across the world and a deep commitment to the environment, while their continuing interest in being 'out there' has resulted in an enthusiasm for skiing, canoeing, cycle touring, horse riding and even rollerblading! Since moving to Slovenia in 2002, Justi has worked as an English teacher, while Roy has developed his skills in landscape photography. They now run a Bed and Breakfast in the mountainous north-west corner of Slovenia.

By Roberto Lombardo
Born and raised in Trieste in a bilingual Italian-Slovenian family, Roberto's imagination wandered in search of places and adventures from an early age. As soon as he was old enough, he started travelling independently and hasn't stopped since. His love of nature, adventure and the unknown has taken him to the trails of almost every continent and to the lecture halls of anthropology universities to study different cultures. His heart, however, has always been anchored to his homeland, the Slovenian mountains and the green forests that surround them. It is from this love that this new edition of the guide was born.
To give shape to his passions, Roberto, together with his wife Martina, runs the outdoor travel agency MaroWays (www.maroways.com), which for years has accompanied hikers and travellers to discover the wonders of Trieste, Slovenia and the Balkans.
