Are you ready for an unforgettable journey through the serene landscapes of Croatia? Our Hut to Hut Hiking tour offers you the unique opportunity to explore the tranquil wilderness of the Velebit Mountain range.
The wilderness of Northern Velebit, coupled with the panoramic views of the Adriatic, makes this experience characteristically different from other hut-to-hut hiking in other countries.
You’ll be hiking on the Premuzic Trail, a masterpiece crafted by forestry engineer and mountaineer Ante Premuzic, as it winds its way across the rugged terrain of the Velebit mountain range.
This 57-kilometre-long trail, constructed using the drystone technique, has endured harsh weather and wear and tear for more than 90 years. It's a testament to craftsmanship and endurance, offering one of the best ways to explore the Velebit region.
But this adventure is not just about hiking — it's about immersing yourself in an authentic way of hiking in the Croatian mountains. You'll sleep in traditional mountain huts, one even one-manned, adding to the authenticity of the trip.
We've taken care of everything to make your journey hassle-free. You'll be accompanied by a local, English-speaking guide who knows these mountains like the back of their hand. We handle all transfers to the starting point and back after the hike, and there will be vehicle support throughout the hike in case something happens.
So, are you ready to explore the mountains of Croatia? Join us on this unforgettable adventure and create memories that will last a lifetime.

We had an incredible time on the 5 day hut to hut hike in Croatia. The views were perfect, the accommodation much nicer than we imagined and we had a fantastic support guide - Ivan - who was very friendly and made the whole trip possible. We were also able to go to the beach most days after we finished our hiking and everything was very flexible. I would highly recommend this to anyone.


1) Stunningly beautiful places with perfect weather! Good balance of countryside and old city walking. 2) The Trip App was incredible!!! 5 stars! Loved the write ups on each location. The links to all restaurants, hotels, attractions, tickets! The GPS app also worked. 3) PERFECTLY located hotels and rooms with two beds and thoughtful staff! Loved being right in the old towns with amazing views. I did not mind carrying bags up or down in order to have the locations but much appreciated when we did have help with this 4) Breakfast being included with the rooms (even though there was a mix up the first morning). I don't like to have to plan breakfast spots and the buffets were incredible. 5) The kindness and promptness of the drivers, Nice transport vehicles and easy drop off and pick up points. Plus help with our bags. 6) The Walking Holidays Croatia team was helpful and easy to work with. We appreciate all they did to customize out trip.


Walking Holidays Slovenia is great! They provided all of the information and made the arrangements for our self guided walk in Triglav National Park. We hiked to Vodnikov Dom the first day, then to the Seven Lakes Basin the second day, then back to Ribcev Laz the third day. The trails were well marked, and the GPS app recommended by Walking Holidays Slovenia was very helpful for keeping us on track. The trails were very rocky in places, which was a bit of a challenge for us, but it was so beautiful! Very much recommend this company!


Did the Eastern Madeira walking holiday. The hikes were lovely though some were crowded. But they were crowded cause the view was great. So can't skip loved the ocean side cliffs for a couple days and then the forests along levadas. We had a misunderstanding with the driver as he thought we should have finished sooner. So give them a reasonable estimate. He never asked and his estimate caused all the issues. But we whatsapped the company and they set it straight. Food is good in the towns. We packed lunch everyday as some of those places along the way had long lines. We went a day early and did a sightseeing day with their driver and it also helped with jet lag. Hikes are pretty moderate, so you have energy to enjoy the town in the evenings. The Island is beautiful ❤️
