The date is set, and the event kicks off on the 30th of July and runs for a week. We have a local contact which helps with planning, and our route will be superb (a three day ridge walk, summiting the highest mountain of Slovenia, do I need to say more?). More on this in the future, as we proceed; the same goes for the rest of the programme.
Most important: Read the Update on Logistics to get an idea about flights or trains to Slovenia (there is a possibility that some travel from Germany to Slovenia by car & could pick people up along the way, if that's the case I'll inform about it). Finnair has a summer campaign which offers flights to Ljubljana for 249?, which might be of interest to those in the north. You're wise to book flights soon, as they just get more expensive the longer you wait.
I'm very excited about the event, and look forward to meet fellow UL & lightweight backpacking aficionados from Japan, Australia, the USA, Europe and many more countries!
On Weight: While the event is called "Ultralight Summit" you don't need to be an ultralight backpacker to participate; you can carry as much or as little as you want, and there is no one weighing backpacks at the start to check if one may join or not =) This is a free-for-all event, doesn't cost anything, and aims at strengthening the global UL community, making new friends, and hiking in a beautiful place.
