Winter alpine climbing
The feeling when crampons cut into hard snow or ice, and every hit with an ice axe means a solid grip, is really something special. Most of the routes that are climbed in summer can also be climbed in winter. It's just more challenging. However, due to the terrain on which the routes run, some routes are more recommended to climb in winter.
Triglav North Face - Slovenian Route
possible to combine with ski touring
In winter, Slovenian route on Triglav North face turns into a beautufly gully. If there are good conditions, the climb is even easier than in summer. It can also be done in combination with ski touring which means very plesant approach and superb descent.
Triglav Normal Approach in Winter
One day tours, two day tours
Triglav is Slovenian national symbol and our highest mountain. With an altitude of 2864 m it may seem small, compared to some other mountains in the Alps, but offers many posibilites for an advanture. One can do single or multi-day hiking/mounteneering tour or a climb over the famous 1000 m steep North face. For reference, Triglav North face is amog the three tallest faces in Europe.
Ice climbing
Climbing on ice is somewhat similar to climbing on very solid rock, with good holds always available exactly where you need them. It’s an exciting way to brighten up winter days. Approaches are short, and we usually rappel down to the base of the icefall.
