Full description

The Julian Alps (Slovene: Julijske Alpe, Italian: Alpi Giulie) are a mountain range of the Southern Limestone Alps that stretch from northeastern Italy to Slovenia, where they rise to 2,864 m at Mount Triglav, the highest peak in Slovenia and of the former Yugoslavia. They are named after Julius Caesar, who founded the municipium of Cividale del Friuli at the foot of the mountains. A large part of the Julian Alps is included in Triglav National Park. The second highest peak of the range, the 2,775 m high Jôf di Montasio, lies in Italy.

The Julian Alps cover an estimated 4,400 km2 (of which 1,542 km2 lies in Italy). They are located between the Sava Valley and Canale Valley. They are divided into the Eastern and Western Julian Alps.

There are many peaks in the Eastern Julian Alps over 2,000 m high, and they are mainly parts of ridges. The most prominent peaks are visible by their height and size. There are high plains on the eastern border like Pokljuka, Mežakla and Jelovica.

The main peaks by height are the following:

Triglav 2,864 m (9,396 ft) – the highest mountain and the coat of arms of Slovenia

Škrlatica 2,740 m (8,990 ft)

Mangart 2,679 m (8,789 ft)

Jalovec 2,645 m (8,678 ft)

Razor 2,601 m (8,533 ft)

Kanjavec 2,568 m (8,425 ft)

Prisojnik 2,546 m (8,353 ft)

Prestreljenik 2,499 m (8,199 ft)

Špik 2,472 m (8,110 ft)

Tosc 2,275 m (7,464 ft)

Krn 2,244 m (7,362 ft)
