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.

(Also reviewed on Google) 6/5 stars for Jakob and the two-day Triglav tour we did last week. Our tour was a group of three (me, my friend, and a third that joined solo) and we had a blast. We did the two day Triglav summit tour. We went up on Day One in around 6 hours, adding and extending breaks to accommodate the group. Then we summitted for sunrise on Day Two which was a fantastic idea. Then if was a little less than four hours down. Grad provided and an overview of how to use it. Krederica hut was huge and quite basic, but you’re there for the hike not the hut. We felt great having such an experienced and confident guide in Jakob; could’ve done it alone but so happy we didn’t. Overall, fully recommend hiking Triglav, using Triglav Tours, and doing any hike with Jakob as the guide. ⭐️
6/5 stars for Jakob and the two-day Triglav tour we did last week. Our tour was a group of three (me, my friend, and a third that joined solo) and we had a blast. Jakob was a fantastic guide—knowledgeable and confident, clearly comfortable on the mountain, personable, attentive to the group… we all developed a fun rapport quickly, joking and chatting along the way. He was great about reading the group too and making changes when we needed it. We went up on Day One in around 6 hours, adding and extending breaks to accommodate, changing up the pace as needs changed. Then we summitted for sunrise on Day Two which was a fantastic idea of Jakob’s—it gave our legs some time to rest and brought some truly incredible views before the crowds set in on the via ferrata section. Then if was a little less than four hours down. Overall, fully recommend hiking Triglav, using Triglav Tours, and doing any hike with Jakob as the guide. ⭐️
Definitely was nervous for my first via ferrata, and even more so when my stomach became unsettled on the excursion. But Jakob walked us through it all and gave me just enough motivation to think I could make it! Enough self doubt remained to stay focused! Haha The hut had all the necessities, like a hostel, and the hike was gorgeous and tough! Tough enough to truly have the sense of accomplishment at the end! Well worth it! Thank you!!!
We did the 2-day guided Triglav hike and would absolutely recommend the tour. There were three women in our group (my friend and I and a third solo traveler) and we all enjoyed the experience immensely. Our guide, Jakob, was excellent and very helpful as none of us had ever done a via ferrata before and there were varying levels of confidence over the prospect. We had sunny weather both days and ended up climbing Triglav to watch sunrise the second day, which I highly recommend. Overall a great experience!
My tour to Triglav was perfect from start to finish. My guide Luka was so lovely and kind and made sure I was okay the whole way, as well as pointing out the other mountains and animals along the way. He reassured me when I felt like I was being slow and let me know if we were on track and when we’d have breaks. Booking with Triglav Tours was so easy and the day before Luka was I contact to go over pick up times. He brought hiking poles for me just in case and I was so grateful he did! I couldn’t have wished for a better 2 days and the sunrise summit was a moment I will never forget. Words can’t express how grateful I am and how amazing the experience was!
