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.

View author profileBy 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.
