If you’re an aspiring mountaineer who feels that
Ben Nevis is not enough of a challenge for you,
but Mont Blanc is a step too far, the 2,864-metre-
high Mount Triglav will be right in your comfort zone. Climb
to the highest point in Slovenia and you’ll be joining a rite of
passage in this young country of just over two million people.

atop this moderately testing limestone peak. Join a small
group on a guided hike with Much Better Adventures for the
classic ascent – a two-day task. After getting some rest at a
hotel in the famously scenic lakeside town of Bled, you’ll
climb to a large mountain hut deceptively close to the
summit. On the second day, you’ll experience via ferrata on
your way to the summit, descend, and return to the airport
(from £330pp; muchbetteradventures.com).
ARRIVE Fly to Ljubljana on Adria Airways, easyJet or Wizz Air
(from £45; wizzair.com).
