DESCRIPTION
This is a hidden gem known as Triglav Ski touring. It’s an adventure that is a must for a rebel that loves ski.
Experience the three-day ski touring journey from Vogel to the Krma Valley, passing through the valley of the Seven Lakes which crosses Hribarice pass to Velo Polije and finally reaching the Krma Valey in the Bohinj saddle.
This route started in the 1970s and is marked with winter signage through many markers have been deteriorated over time that’s why navigation can be challenging, especially around the Komna plateau, where the fog can pose serious risks.
This classic traverse requires significant walking and our guides have tailored the journey to prioritize skiing, assuming our rebels are physically prepared for the hike.
