TrailKind Booking confirmation Guided Hike · from USD 65 per person
Guided hike, Saturday 07:00, Vintgar to Debela Peč
Julian Alps. Six hours, certified guide, and the guide's turnaround decision is final.
Two places on Saturday's hike. The route is 14 km with 780 m of ascent and it is not a difficult day for anyone who walks regularly. Clause 03 is the part that matters: the guide can turn the group around at any point and that decision is not refundable and not negotiable.
Two places, Saturday 7 November, meeting 07:00 at Vintgar Gorge car park. Fourteen kilometres, 780 m ascent, back around 15:00. Guide is Tomaž Kranjc, IFMGA-qualified. Free cancellation until 48 hours before, and if we cancel for weather you choose a full refund or another date.

The kit list, and the two items that stop a day
| Item | Status | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Boots with ankle support and a grip sole | Required | Trainers are turned away at the trailhead. This is not negotiable in November |
| Waterproof jacket, hood, not a windbreaker | Required | The one other item people arrive without |
| Warm mid layer | Required | Fleece or similar. It is 8 degrees colder at the top |
| Hat and gloves | Required | Thin ones are fine |
| 1.5 litres of water | Required | There is no water on the route |
| Lunch and something sweet | Required | Not provided. There is no hut open in November |
| Head torch | Recommended | It is dark by 16:45 and days run late |
| Poles | Optional | Available free at the trailhead. Genuinely helpful on the descent |
| Microspikes | Provided if needed | The guide decides on the morning and brings them for everyone |
The two required items in bold are checked at the trailhead. A guest without them does not walk, and the place is not refunded, because we cannot take someone up in trainers in November.
The rule
The guide decides, and the decision is final
This is the clause worth reading properly before Saturday.
| Situation | Who decides | Refund |
|---|---|---|
| Weather makes the route unsafe, decided the day before | TrailKind, by 18:00 Friday | Full refund or another date, your choice |
| Weather turns during the walk | The guide, on the mountain | None. The day happened |
| The group is slower than the turnaround time | The guide | None |
| One guest cannot continue | The guide, for the whole group | None |
| A guest is not equipped at the trailhead | The guide | None |
| You cancel more than 48 hours before | You | Full refund |
| You cancel inside 48 hours | You | None |
The turnaround time on this route is 12:30 at Blejska Koča. If the group is not there by then, the group turns around, whatever the weather is doing and however well people feel.
Before
What we need from you
- Confirm fitness honestly. Fourteen kilometres with 780 m of ascent is a real day and overstating fitness affects everyone in the group
- Tell us about any medical condition, medication or injury that could matter on a mountain. It goes to the guide only
- Give an emergency contact who is not on the walk
- Check the forecast yourself on Friday evening. We will call by 18:00 if it is off
- Arrive at 06:50. The group leaves at 07:00 and does not wait
