Take on the largest mountain wall in Slovenia by climbing Triglav's North Face. Known as 'The Wall,' this 1000-meter vertical drop offers an unforgettable climbing experience.
The North Face features over 100 climbing routes, ranging from moderate challenges to some of the toughest mountaineering feats in Slovenia. You'll take on the most traditional and easiest one: the Slovenian Route – a classic and challenging ascent, ideal for ferrata enthusiasts transitioning to more demanding climbs.
This historic climb has deep roots in Slovene mountaineering, dating back to the 19th century when it was scaled by hunters and trackers from the Trenta region. Though not the most difficult route on Triglav’s North Face, it still requires respect and solid alpine experience, especially for people taking their first steps into mountaineering.
The ascent involves guided free climbing with a safety rope. While prior rope climbing experience is not mandatory, participants should be in good physical condition and comfortable navigating difficult terrain. Experience on off-trail routes or via ferrata is strongly advised.
The approach to The Wall takes about an hour, followed by approximately 800 meters of climbing, typically lasting between 5 to 8 hours depending on the climbers' pace. The ascent provides an exhilarating experience with incredible views throughout. The descent from the summit takes about three hours, leading back to the Vrata Valley.
NOTE: The tour can be extended to include an overnight stay at a mountain hut and a summit of Mt. Triglav the next morning. Hut reservations are recommended several weeks in advance to secure a spot.

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!
What a wonderful 3-day hut tour! Our guide Jakob picked us up in the morning near Bled and brought us back there afterward. The first day pushed my tired legs to their limits during the ascent, but after that, everything went smoothly. A very beautiful and varied via ferrata to the summit! Jakob handled everything brilliantly due to his years of experience and high fitness: he recognized dangers in time, communicated calmly and relaxed, and found a solution for each of our concerns, even if that sometimes meant two backpacks... :). It was just so much fun. The nature is breathtaking, and we encountered some animals. I will cherish the pictures in my heart for a long time, thank you!
Absolutely unforgettable experience! Everything went super smoothly, from booking and interactions with the Triglav Tours office folks to my return home. Our guide, Jakob, was a wonderful young man, congenial, friendly, kind, good listener, funny, patient, experienced and helpful. He picked everyone up in the morning. He gave us useful tips at the onset of the hike. He knew exactly at what kind of pace we should be walking to make it to Triglavski dom na Kredarici, where we had a lunch break. He figured out exactly when we should start the actual climb so as to avoid the rain and make it back to the hut on time for dinner. He demonstrated how to use the ferrata set properly for the climb and guided us up and down the summit without a hitch. We had a perfect weather for the ascent and the following day we started the descent early enough, again, to avoid getting rained on. Finally, Jakob dropped each one of the four of us in the tour group at our home or hotel (wherever others stayed at the time). I am sincerely grateful for this tour and would most highly recommend it to everyone who is ready for a good physical and mental challenge because, let me be clear — participants must have enough stamina and not fear heights.
