Winter ascents are challenging and rewarding. Climbing Triglav's North Face in winter offers a true test of skill and endurance, particularly along the renowned Slovenian Route. Winter conditions add an extra layer of difficulty, making this ascent a respected achievement.
The Slovenian Route, dating back to the 19th century, is a well-known climb for local and international mountaineers. While the route's difficulty is moderate, a winter ascent requires solid climbing experience, physical fitness, and familiarity with ice axes and crampons.
Given favorable conditions, the snow provides a stable foundation for an efficient ascent. Climbers will be equipped with ice axes, crampons, and a climbing rope, with a guide ensuring safety throughout. The guide supports up to two climbers, so no prior rope technique experience is required.
The approach to the Wall takes around 1.5 hours, depending on snow conditions, followed by 800 meters of intense climbing, offering spectacular views. Snow conditions play a significant role in the overall duration, and the guide will provide details regarding expected conditions beforehand.
Here's a fascinating piece of history: In April 1946, Tone Pogačnik, a Slovenian Olympian and cross-country skier, was training on the Triglav Glacier when thick fog set in. Disoriented, he accidentally skied off the edge of the North Wall, falling 100 meters before landing – miraculously unscathed – on the Slovenian Route below.
NOTE: The tour can be extended to a two-day ascent to Mt. Triglav's summit upon request.

We can’t express how much we love our guide, Luka! He is exceptionally well-organized and experienced(having climbed Triglav since he was just 11, impressive). He managed our expectations and kept us updated on the weather conditions, pace, and rest points, so we always knew how we were progressing, even as first-time Triglav climbers. Thanks to his professionalism, we had the perfect timing and enjoyed the best possible moment on Triglav. We have seen the ibex, cattle, rainbow, sunrise… This is truly one of our most unforgettable experiences in Slovenia!
We did the two day Triglav tour. Our Guide was Jakob and he was excellent. He taught us a lot about Slovenia and he also cared a lot about the area which was nice to see. He kept us safe, encouraged us and he had good humour. We hiked up to the Krederica Hut and it took us 4 hours. Food there was great! We decided to go for the summit the next morning and it was amazing. Not as intimidating as it looks and totally safe with the via ferrata equipment and a good Guide.
Had the best time on my 1 day hike up Triglav! It was beautiful, my guide Gorazd was friendly and very organized. We started the drive from Bled at 2am since there was rain in the forecast for 12pm. We made it to the summit about 1 hour before the clouds came in and blocked the view. Perfect timing! Speaking with the team over email was also great and they helped me get something booked last minute. Highlight of my trip to Slovenia and maybe of my whole 9 weeks in Europe. If you have the stamina I recommend the 1 day trek. We spent about 11 hours actually hiking but the trail isn’t very demanding.
Had an amazing day with Uroš. He was very friendly and easy to communicate with. Even though he had a child due a few days before we did the climb he was super relaxed and lots of fun to talk to. Made me feel very comfortable the entire time and had lots of information about the location and different history of the area. 10/10 would recommend and a very heartfelt thank you from me for making sure I was safe and we completed the day. I hope one day you can make it to Alaska my friend :)
Our trip this past August was one that we will never forget. Jakub was a fantastic guide who always kept our spirits up, especially with the via ferata. It was our first time climbing a mountain and he kept checking in on us to make sure we were doing ok. 10/10 would recommend!!
