Triglav in winter is truly a fascinating adventure. The landscape turns into a winter wonderland and the climb gets that extra challenging element only snow can supply. Our expert guide will ensure the trip is completely safe<\/strong>. All you need is some prior mountaineering experience of using an ice axe and climbing with crampons<\/strong> and you\u2019re good to go. Join us!\r\n\r\nAscending the 2,863 m (9,395 ft) Mount Triglav is known among hikers and alpinists as a once-in-a-lifetime must. Especially in winter. It\u2019s when the crowds are reduced to a fraction of their summer numbers<\/strong>, making the climb even more enjoyable. The countryside in the Julian Alps is transformed into a magical fairy-tale and a unique kind of surreal calmness sets over the land<\/strong>. With favourable weather conditions giving us the green light, the tour can commence and the thrills begin. The beaten snow makes the ascent to the Triglav Lodge at Kredarica relatively easy<\/strong>. Stunning scenes of the valleys below and surrounding mountains give us the humbling impression of smallness as we enter the snow-covered Alpine kingdom.\r\n\r\nEven as a tour on its own, reaching the Kredarica hut in winter is an amazing hiking experience in the mountains.<\/strong> We gradually reach our first base, high above the world. The Kredarica Lodge is officially closed in winter. Only meteorologists call it their \u2018permanent home\u2019 during the cold season. Fortunately, these guys are a very hospitable bunch of mountain dwellers. They generously receive us and cook us a nice hot meal. Be warned, however, that the lodge isn\u2019t heated in winter, so a sleeping bag is an obligatory companion, <\/strong>but you can get a blanket for extra warmth.\r\n\r\nEarly the next morning, our tour continues towards Triglav\u2019s summit. Our guide will support you with climbing ropes and tips<\/strong>, as we make our way across the wild snowy and rocky terrain with our ice axes and crampons squeaking in the snow. As we\u2019ve already mentioned, the weather conditions have to be right for both parts of the ascend to get the go-ahead<\/strong>. After a fun yet challenging climbing session, we finally reach the top, surrounded by the spellbinding wintery panorama. Breath-taking stuff that words cannot really describe! Slowly but surely, we then safely descend back towards the lowlands, one unforgettable experience richer.\r\n\r\nNOTE<\/strong>: For experienced and quick mountaineers, the tour is also doable in 1 day if the conditions are right. Consult with a guide. Distance:<\/strong> 18 km (11,2 mi) Elevation:<\/strong> 1800 vm (5900 feet)\r\n

Itinerary<\/h2>\r\nWe will start our tour by picking you up and driving to Krma valley (45min from Bled). Our meeting time depends on the forecast and time of the year and will be set\u00a0a day or two before the tour.<\/b>\u00a0After a quick gear check, we will start walking in the forest, quickly gaining altitude and reaching the Kredarica hut. Our time needed for the ascent largely\u00a0depends on the snow conditions.\u00a0<\/strong>It is also where we go through the basics of crampons and ice axe use. At the hut, we can leave some stuff we will not need for the summit push and gear up with helmets, harnesses and via ferrata sets.\r\n\r\nThe summit climb takes around 1.5h<\/b>\u00a0and about the same time back to the hut. According to the weather and how we feel,\u00a0we can do the summit climb on the first day in the afternoon or on the second day early in the morning.\u00a0<\/b> From Kredarica we have about 3.5h of hiking back to the car, where we arrive usually\u00a0sometime early in the afternoon on the second day.\u00a0<\/b>\r\n\r\nAccomodation:<\/strong>\u00a0Triglavski Dom na Kredarici<\/a>","price":"From: 449\/person","hide_price":true,"extras":null,"extras_guided":null,"extras_self_guided":null,"highlights_new":"Put your winter climbing skills to the test with an expert guide\r\n\r\nSpend a night in Slovenia\u2019s most famous mountain lodge\r\n\r\nEnjoy the triumphant feeling of standing atop Mt.

Your shoes should be ankle high and waterproof. Expect windy and chilly conditions. It is better to take a bit more with you as you can always leave excess clothes in the van after consulting with our guide."},{"faq_question":"What happens in the event of bad weather or snow conditions.","faq_answer":"In case of bad weather, the tour can be postponed or you will be fully refunded. We can not go if there is a danger of avalanches or storms. The snow conditions are usually more stable later in the season, February-April."},{"faq_question":"Is the tour only possible in stated season?","faq_answer":"The season stated is informative. The tour is possible in stable snow conditions, the best period is usually from February to April. Sometimes if snow is early or stays late, the season is longer and Winter Triglav Tour can take place even in May or early October."},{"faq_question":"How do I pay for accommodation?","faq_answer":"We will make a reservation at the hut for you at the time of your booking in advance and you can pay cash on the spot.

If the conditions are perfect, there are still 2000 vertical meters to go - it takes around 4-5 hours to the hut and additional 4 hours to the summit and back. Descending from Kredarica is usually easier and faster in winter though :)"},{"faq_question":"How experienced do I need to be with winter gear?","faq_answer":"It is mandatory that you can walk confidently with crampons and know how to arrest a fall with an ice axe. Climbing experiences are not necessary, on all the exposed and steep parts you will be safely secured with a rope and helped by a guide.
