Slovenia is one of the most beautiful countries in the world!

@JeffPelletier Год назад

Agreed 💯

@coachrunningoli 4 месяца назад

it's amazing ti see Julian Alps on your channel, thank you so much, i leave 1 hour from where you are, in Italy, in the middle of mountains like these. Wonderful!

@AleksandarGospic Год назад

Wow, never expected to see Slovenian Julian Alps on your channel :) Even thought I'm from neighboring Croatia, I've been hiking in Julian Alps since I was 16 (47 now). I've summited Triglav 11 times so far and climbed all the major peaks there, some close to 10 times, so I feel like at home there. That's why it was so nice to see familiar vistas and trails of Julian Alps through your lens, beautiful shots! 😍Crazy to see how much distance you can cover 👌Can't wait for the full 90 minutes movie! :)

Dear Jeff and Audree, as the guy on the top of Mt. Triglav said, you are now true Slovenians 😀 You should recieve a free butt spanking as a part of our tradition 🤣 Thank you kindly for a very beautiful video of our country. You did a remarkable tour around Triglav national park, congrats on that. And a huge respect for a proper pronounciaton of our towns, villages and mountains. You have really mastered that. 👍Have a safe trip back home and the best of luck at Moab.

@bronzify Год назад

Hey Jeff, glad you enjoyed our little but beautiful country. Also, you correctly pronounced the names of all places, lakes, mountains everything really, very impressive :)

@JeffPelletier Год назад

You don’t know how happy I am to hear that! 😂

I love Slovenia and Ljubljana specifically. It has all the most beautiful parts of Europe in one place. And the gelato is delicious 😅

@leonieburford3571 7 месяцев назад

No way ! I was there at the same time! Ironically, on my last MTB adventure before realising I had a broken wrist..... and now a runner! I'll have to look back in my photos to see if you have photobombed them!

@dianal.1279 Год назад

I was caught by the storm of a lifetime when climbing Triglav decades ago. I'll never forget descending with the impressive lightening, in the dark. We had to turn back before the summit, because of the lightening. It was pure adrenaline. Things that happen when you're very inexperienced.

@JeffPelletier Год назад

Not a place I’d want to be caught in a storm! That must have been intense.

Great movie 😊 I was in Slovenia just 3 weeks ago but I didn't hike in hight mountains so that could be good argument to visit this beautifull country again 😅 I saw Bled and Bohin Lake, Lublana and run in Kranjska Gora by amazing Julian Alps Trail Run by UTMB😉 I can recomend you that running festival , they have distance from 10 to 170 km so You can find somethink interesting 😉

@johnbarns548 Год назад

What a beautiful hidden gem. It’s like you were whisked into a fairytale land and given the gift of running and walking in the most beautiful terrain and challenging courses. Closest I’ve come to granite climbing like that is Maine USA. So fortunate!!

@matthewrickett9592 Год назад

When you think it can't get any better you post another spectacular video; what a views and wonderful trail with a nice taste of the atmosphere.The personal touch of you both makes it feel so close and real. Looking forward to the full 'document'. Good luck with the upcoming race !

@ykgarunningjourneyjournal.3272 10 месяцев назад

Stunning! Felt I was there, too. Very jealous, though.

@MalteForstat Год назад

Triglav National Park is beautiful! I went hiking there in 2019. Especially the 7-lakes-trail down to Lake Bohinj and the high trail south of it were awesome! And now for the last 2 years I have been living about 2 hours away in the Austrian Alps. So a belated WELCOME to my neck of the woods, I guess? 😉

@TheOliO92 5 месяцев назад

you came pretty close to my hometown just over the mountin from kranjska gora in carinthia(austria). you might want to check out the 750km long alpe adria trail wich goes from the highest peak in austria all the way to the adriatic sea. you should have come by some of the waymarkers in the kranjska gora area.

@TomKroupa80 Год назад

While watching the video I say to myself:"Whoaw, that is beautiful place, I should go there one day." And immediately after that:"Wait, it is in Slovenia, in the Alps, you were there many times!" ... And that is how good moviemaker you are Jeff:-)))

Can't thank you enough for these videos. Living in Europe myself and wouldn't even know about some of these awesome places without you guys. I've already fell in love with Annecy and I haven't even been there. Seen your videos from there just "couple" times! And so many other awesome places you two have shown us!

Oh man, yet another beautiful video. Thank you for creating these.

@heistube9556 Год назад

Such a lovely film. We were on holiday in Slovenia, we stayed in Bled , I think about the same time as you because it was the week after the floods. We hiked up Mount Sija and Mount Vogel with our kids (from your movie it looked like you were there at the end of your 4 day fast-pack), such amazing views! We also went each day on early-morning runs doing a few loops round Lake Bled, each loop is a very easy runnable path of around 6km with lovely views of the lake the whole way.

@JeffPelletier Год назад

Sounds like a great family trip! Yep, we hiked Mount Vogel on the morning of our last day on the trail.

@joanh.2365 Год назад

Slovenia is so beautiful!, is one of those places that I still have to go. Thanks for the video, the encounter with the cow was very funny!😉

@joanh.2365 Год назад

Don't worry, I think this is happening to everyone from time to time. I also had it with another guy that we were sharing the track and we had to go in another direction. 😅

@joem3556 Год назад

One of your best videos!!!

Another superb video!!!

@leabiasutti8650 Год назад

Oooohhh you were close to me and in "my" mountains (but I live on the other side of the border)🙂 Julian Alps are wild and wonderful... well, Triglav is really popular in Slovenia and is always full of people in summer, but anyway.. really nice! I was there last year in august, just a day hike fast up and down, I also love fast packing (but am not as fast as you 🙂). I'm happy you enjoyed it

@JWALSH05 Год назад

Wow, such a gorgeous route!

@severiner7168 Год назад

It was just a friendly cow wanting a pet (although maybe not and I wouldn't have waited to find out either!). Made me want to go to Slovenia but that fastpack trip looks way out of my comfort zone! Stunning but really technical!

@JeffPelletier Год назад

It was quite technical. I’d highly recommend the Juliana Trail as a more accessible option. It looks to run through valleys and towns around the perimeter of the park, but would still give you amazing views.

@severiner7168 Год назад

Thanks, that's a great recommendation, I'll make a note of it. I also like the look of Ljubljana and Bled. You are making us discover so many amazing places! I've just come back from the Alps and had planned to go back next year for TMB but think I might look at the Tour du Beaufortain instead. I'd done part of the Tour du Pays du Mont Blanc and that was stunning.@@JeffPelletier

@jimp9991 11 месяцев назад

Thank you for sharing Jeff. Slovenia looks amazing. Is it cheaper to stay there than the central Alps?

@JeffPelletier 11 месяцев назад

Definitely. In fact, I think a lot of people from Switzerland, Germany and Austria vacation there for that reason.

@Laodage23 10 месяцев назад

Another spectacular video thanks Jeff. Hey, can you show us what the sleeping arrangements are in the refuges? Could you show us what you are eating and drinking and what it tastes like? :)

Wow Jeff didn't expect to see you in Slovenia! Maybe check out the neighborhood, we have some nice trail running on the islands here in Croatia in the off season (Krk, Rab, Pag).

@JeffPelletier Год назад

It’s on the list for sure! Possibly for UTMB Istri.

@emptyfile9 Год назад

@@JeffPelletier Nice! I'd also recommend checking out North Velebit National Park if you're ever in Croatia. By far the most beautiful national park and mountain range in the country, and almost totally empty of people.

@sevenseas1476 Год назад

Great video! Lots of inspiration to unpack here. First video I've seen of yours. Well done!

@rossmurphy2973 Год назад

Anybody else see them both just casually walk by the snake .. by the camera at 7:40 in?..

@kristjanmatelic6478 Год назад

Nice catch...but that looked more like a legless lizard or Slow worm.

@JeffPelletier Год назад

It was a snake, yep! It was crossing from the other side of the path but I didn’t get my camera setup in time 🙄

@audreelafreniere2258 Год назад

trust me i wasn't all that 'casual' about it!

@kristjanmatelic6478 Год назад

99% that is not a snake, so nothing to be scared of there... judging by the chunky tail, color consistency and slow movement that is a lizard called Navadni Slepec in Slovenian or Slow Worm in English.@@audreelafreniere2258

@hotlineoperator Год назад

Beautiful movie.

@vmayo Год назад

Super video! I had no idea how stunning Slovenia really was. Also, did I completely imagine that you both had spots at UTMB this year? Looking forward to the Pyrenees race video though!

@JeffPelletier Год назад

Thanks! You must have been imagining it, no UTMB for us this year, just the TMB 😅

@ropersix Год назад

What a fantastic place for fastpacking! I've also been getting sponsored Instagram posts for that 30L pack, and look forward to your review of it. It looks interesting, and a good, modern 30L pack is a little hard to find.

@matijatadic895 Год назад

Nice video. :) Look into the Via Adriatica trail in Croatia. It's roughly a 1000km trail. You guys might find it interesting and also a nice way to see the beautiful nature Croatia has to offer.

@audreelafreniere2258 Год назад

Croatia is on our wish-list :)

@micahfaas Год назад

@jeffjm5946 Год назад

Great videos Jeff! I’m a huge fan! You and Audree have inspired me to take up trail running. I’m kind of a noob and could use some tips on the best way to secure trekking poles to a hydration vest. I’m not sure if some of them come with a pouch built in, or if it’s something that I need to rig up myself?

@JeffPelletier Год назад

I’ll work on a video for that!

@raikwondo 8 месяцев назад

Great video as always, thanks! Would be interested to get your thoughts on the Outdoor Vitals gear, particularly the Skyline Fastpack 30L. Wondering if it would be a good choice for multi-day race like Tor Des Geants where a bigger pack might be required.

@JeffPelletier 8 месяцев назад

It might be a little big for TOR. I think I used a 22L pack there. Skyline 30 will be my go to for any wild camping though where I’m carrying a bivvy or lightweight tent.

@raikwondo 8 месяцев назад

Thanks a lot. I noted that Audree used the UD 20L which also seems to be pretty popular, though I have seen some concerns about the side zipper and weight. Would also be interested to hear any impressions she had. Overall, it seems pretty difficult to find a suitable race pack that has a running harness that can carry 500ml soft flasks, is not to heavy, with adequate storage in the front and in the main pack for longer races. Seems like the Salomon XA 22L is very difficult to find now...anyway, appreciate all the gear tips on top of the excellent vids.

@JeffPelletier 8 месяцев назад

I had used one called the Salomon Slab Peal 20 (actually 22L) which is unfortunately no longer available. That was the perfect pack for the job!

@gregbradelle9117 Год назад

@lisamclaughlin5437 6 месяцев назад

Jeff, do you have a map or more detailed info about the specific route you and Audrée did on this trip? Also, any tips on resources you used to research and plan this trip? I'm going to be in Austria and possibly Slovenia in July and am keen to do some hiking & trail running there. Thanks!

@kristjanmatelic6478 6 месяцев назад

There is an official Slovenian Mountain Trail. This video shows part of the trail. I'm sure you can find videos of it on youtube and judge which parts of the trail are suitable for you. Some parts are great for running, some are via ferrata climbing and can be quite challenging. Here they started the climb on Triglav from Vrata valley on the Čez Prag trail, then there is Krn mountain(WW1 front) and then they followed the official trail on the southern ridge of the Julian alps all the way to the top of Črna Prst. The part where the aggressive cows are is the trail from Kranjska Gora to Vršič Pass.

@lisamclaughlin5437 6 месяцев назад

@@kristjanmatelic6478 Thank you very much! If you have any specific websites or other resources (in English preferably) that you find particularly user-friendly for researching and planning hiking trips in Slovenia, please let me know. Much appreciated!

@waitej100 Год назад

Amazing as ever Jeff, but what is going on with the whole animal thing - earlier in the year you left Audree behind as you sprinted away from a bear, and this time you put her in front to tackle the angry Slovenian cows, I'm starting to get worried about what is coming in the future, I'm sure there are wolves in the Pyrenees...!

@audreelafreniere2258 9 месяцев назад
