Tackling the North Face of Triglav isn\u2019t only doable in winter, it\u2019s nothing short of a climber\u2019s delight. <strong>The legendary Slovene Route<\/strong> across the giant Wall is always an excellent choice, and<strong> winter gives it that additional charm and great respect among alpinists<\/strong>. Grab your ice axes and join us on this exclusive wintertime expedition!\r\n\r\nDating back to the 19th century, the Slovene Route has become a highly praised climbing route among Slovenes and foreign mountaineers alike. The route\u2019s difficulty level might not be extremely high, but during winter, <strong>the ascent certainly requires a considerable amount of prior climbing experience and psychophysical preparedness<\/strong>. This includes the use of ice axes and crampons. As any expert climber will tell you: Good judgement comes from experience.\r\n\r\nGiven the right weather conditions, the Slovene Route supplies sufficiently hard snow, offering a superb basis for a speedy and effective ascent. Equipped with ice axes and crampons, you will scale the rugged terrain using a climbing rope. <strong>Your guide will make sure that the maximum of two climbers will feel safe and secure as they take on the steep drops, so no prior knowledge of rope techniques is required.\u00a0<\/strong>\r\n\r\nWe approach the Wall in approx. 1.5 hours\u2019 time, depending on the snow conditions. The latter may of course alter the schedule considerably. Then it\u2019s 800 metres of intense climbing the gully, accompanied with fantastic views. <strong>The overall duration of our winter tours is highly dependent on snow conditions<\/strong>. The guide will let you know a couple of days in advance what kind of climbing and hiking can be expected given the current weather conditions.\r\n\r\nInteresting fact: Tone Poga\u010dnik, a Slovene Olympian and cross-country skier, was training on the Triglav Glacier in April 1946, when he accidentally skied off the edge of the North Wall in the fog, jumped, and landed on the Slovene Route 100 metres below. He walked away unscathed.\r\n\r\n<strong>NOTE<\/strong>: The tour can also be extended into a two-day ascent to the summit of Mt. Triglav per request.","price":"From: 449\/person","hide_price":true,"extras":null,"extras_guided":null,"extras_self_guided":null,"highlights_new":"Put your body and spirit to the test on Triglav\u2019s famous Wall\r\n\r\nExperience the full intensity of winter climbing in all its glory\r\n\r\nLearn something new and try something different\r\n\r\nGaze out at the dreamlike landscape that surrounds you","included_new":"","included_guided":[{"add_included_guided":"Return ransfer from Bled"},{"add_included_guided":"Professional guide"},{"add_included_guided":"Helmet"},{"add_included_guided":"Harness"}],"not_included_guided":null,"included_self_guided":null,"not_included_self_guided":null,"what_to_bring":[{"what_to_bring_item":"Comfortable sports clothes"},{"what_to_bring_item":"Water resistant mountaineering pants"},{"what_to_bring_item":"Waterproof gloves and one extra pair"},{"what_to_bring_item":"Stiff high waterproof mountaineering boots"},{"what_to_bring_item":"Insulation jacket"},{"what_to_bring_item":"Extra layer"},{"what_to_bring_item":"Windproof jacket"},{"what_to_bring_item":"Helmet"},{"what_to_bring_item":"Crampons"},{"what_to_bring_item":"A pair of ice axes"},{"what_to_bring_item":"Headwear"},{"what_to_bring_item":"Headlamp"},{"what_to_bring_item":"Snacks"},{"what_to_bring_item":"Water bottle or even better warm tea"},{"what_to_bring_item":"Backpack 30 -35 l"}],"faq":[{"faq_question":"What should I wear for Climbing the North Face in Winter?","faq_answer":"It is important that your clothes are comfortable and water-resistant to keep you warm and dry.
