For National Park visitors

In 2024 Triglav National Park, the Julian Alps area and nature conservation in Slovenia celebrate 100 years since the signing of the lease agreement to establish the Alpine Conservation Park, the predecessor of Triglav National Park.
Responsible and safe in the mountains in winter
Short days, a thick blanket of snow, cold winds and low temperatures are a constant in the higher lying parts of Triglav National Park from the end of autumn and late into spring. By choosing the appropriate marked trails, checking the conditions and using proper wear and gear, we can do a lot for our own safety while allowing nature to take its winter rest.
Quiet zones
Quiet Zones are areas in Triglav National Park that play a key role in the conservation of plant and animal species. In these areas, certain adjustments in the context of time and space are needed in terms of visitation and other activities. Th e quiet zones are intended to promote protection of the capercaillie, rock ptarmigan, black grouse, chamois, and raised bogs.
Recommendations for winter visitors
Stay on designated forest trails and marked paths. Stay away from footpaths along forest edges because these are popular spots for animals.
Do not make unnecessary noise, e.g. yelling, shouting, or playing loud music. Th ere are other, more positive, ways you can express your enthusiasm.
If you spot an animal, move away quietly.
Avoid the animals’ hideaway spots and feeding grounds, such as rocks and snow-free areas and crevices.
Keep your dog on a leash.
Walk or ski along frequented mountain trails and ski touring routes.
The deeper in the forest you go, the greater the chance you will disturb forest animals. To avoid this, keep your movements in the forest to the minimum.
If you follow these guidelines, nature’s residents will be pleased with your visit to their environment.

Responsibly to the Mountains
Triglav National Park is the only national park in Slovenia. Visitors are only guests in this beautiful and sensitive natural environment and cultural landscape. Welcome!
As respectful visitors, make sure the area remains a place of peace and quiet for residents and visitors. Dog must be kept on a leash. Weather in the mountains is very changeable. Bring a change of clothes, and dress in layers. Leave your vehicle in a designated car park. Use public transport. Attentive visitors appreciate the fragile natural environment and keep to designated trails. High risk of slipping on steep terrain. Hiring a mountain guide is recommended for highaltitude hikes. Visitors are not allowed to spend the night outside designated areas. Ice skating on frozen alpine lakes is forbidden. Short days – take into account the length of the daytime period in winter. YOUR STEP MATTERS. IT DOESN’T TAKE MUCH, BUT MAKES A GREAT DIFFERENCE.

The quality of nature and people – Triglav National Park Quality Mark
Th e Triglav National Park (tnp) Quality Mark is based on the coexistence of nature and man, who has in the Julian Alps Biosphere Reserve and its central area been actively creating, preserving the heritage, and protecting the nature. Th e tnp Quality Mark promotes the areas, products and services of the local inhabitants. Th is is a sign of trust and high quality standards, which are mainly refl ected in their care for nature and tradition of the area. As you buy these products or services, your purchase has an added value, as it actively contributes to the sustainable economic development of the area as well as to its environment protection and conservation.
Th e activities of the LiveAlpsNature project will focus on establishing a balance between biodiversity conservation, tourism, and recreational activities in protected areas of the Alps. Th is balance is crucial for biodiversity, creating conditions for the existence of local populations, and ensuring the successful functioning of the local economy, which must align with sustainable tourism approaches and prioritize the needs of local residents. Together with local stakeholders and protected area managers, and by using various online tools, we will carry out the LifeAlpsNature project activities to enhance the awareness and knowledge of visitors before and during their visits to this extraordinary natural area.
