A hike to remember - This hike was amazing from start to finish. Aleksandra, our guide, was funny, patient, accommodating and made the entire group feel safe so that we could enjoy the terrain of this amazing path. Fortunately, we had perfect weather for our hike, but keeping an eye on the forecast is a must since weather can change quickly. The guide made sure we knew that she was watching the weather closely not only the day of but days prior. Highly recommend this hike and company for your experience. Looking forward to booking my next adventure with them next time I am here. Mary

Via ferrata on Mojstrovka - We did the via ferrata up the historical route of Mojstrovka - an incredible experience and best tour guide/tour company one can ask for. Not only was our guide Jerry was amazing guy but his wealth of experience in the mountains was second to none and wouldn’t have been as fun without him. This is the number one guide for the mountains!

Stunning scenery, awesome guide! - Timotei took us on a STUNNING hike in the Julian Alps to the summit of Debela Pec on NYE. The views on the way up and on the summit are truly panoramic - we took a million photos. My husband and I do a lot of hiking but we had never been on a hike in the snow - Timotei had crampons/microspikes for us which made the hike easy and fun and we had an unforgettable day in the mountains. The hike is about 10 miles long (16km), with 3000ft of elevation gain (1000m) so some fitness is required, as there are a few steep sections. We stopped at the hut on the way back for an awesome, traditional Slovenian lunch (stew with sausage) and mulled wine. All together a very memorable day - we very much hope to come back and if we do we will certainly be reaching out to Timotei to guide us again.

Amazing day - I'm writing this review a bit late, but we are 2 people and we have done the hiking in Julian Alps in June and it has been a great day. We had 2 guides with us and both girls were really nice, friendly and full of positive energy. Overall it has been a great day and i totally recommend it.

Debela peč on your own - Debela peč, name of a mountain, can be translated as fat rocks. You can climb to this interesting mountain on your own in good weather. First, you need good mountain shoes. Hiking sticks are useful, too. Take a small backpack with some drinks, water or tea is the best. Use your car (or bike) and drive to Pokljuka, as near to Lipanca hut as you can. There are three possibilities for the start. One is near Medvedova konta and two starting points near the pasture called Zajavornik (1 h from Športhotel on Pokljuka). Mountain bikes can be used up to the Lipanca hut. From the starting point you have just 40 to 50 minutes to the Lipanca if you are walking. Lipanca is a group of houses. One is mountain hut with some food and drinks. From Lipanca hikers walk up for less than 1 h and 45 minutes. Path is steep but not dangerous at all. It is signed and is easy for orientation except in fog. When you come to the ridge, you have just 15 more minutes to the top. View is exceptional. So, you walk from 2 hours 15 minutes with young legs up to 3 hours for older ones. This trip is a good choice.
