Mount Viševnik, a notable two-thousand-meter peak, showcases stunning alpine views within Triglav National Park. Unlike other winter climbs that require advanced skills, Viševnik offers an exciting yet accessible challenge for those with basic knowledge of ice axe and crampon use. It’s a fantastic way to experience snow-covered peaks without the need for extensive mountaineering experience.

Winter in Triglav National Park is a unique experience. To truly appreciate the beauty of this mountainous landscape, you need to see it firsthand. Viševnik is accessible year-round, but a winter ascent adds a special sense of charm and adventure.

The climb depends on weather conditions, but the area typically offers favorable conditions for hikers. With an experienced guide, you'll start from an elevated point at Pokljuka Plateau, making the ascent manageable for those with moderate experience.

The route follows a well-marked snowy path, featuring a moderately steep but manageable climb that allows for a steady pace. Upon reaching the ridge, you will enjoy sweeping views of the snow-covered peaks.

From the summit, you can take in a breathtaking panorama of Mt. Triglav, the Julian Alps, the Pokljuka Plateau, the Bohinj Mountains, the northern Sava Plain, and even the distant Karawanks and Kamnik-Savinja Alps.

The route is technically simple but visually rewarding, making it perfect for those seeking a manageable winter adventure. This climb also serves as excellent preparation for more challenging future hikes.

IMPORTANT: Experience with crampons and an ice axe, including fall arrest techniques, is required.

Frequently Asked Questions

Although Triglav is not the most difficult mountain to climb in Slovenia, it still requires a certain level of experience.


Climbing Triglav without the experience (or someone who has it) with moving in exposed and steep terrain, route-finding, and knowing the local weather conditions can lead to dangerous consequences — getting lost, seriously injuring oneself, or in the worst case, death. What’s 100% sure is that your hike won’t be half as enjoyable as it could have been.


A professional local guide has all the necessary experience and knowledge to make your hike safer and therefore, more enjoyable. They can also enhance the climbing experience with interesting stories and tips, making sure climbing Triglav is a fond memory.

Triglav is amongst the most popular mountains in Slovenia. It has a great symbolic value for us and the saying goes that you are not a true Slovenian until you stand on its summit. Therefore, you can expect a lot of people on the mountain in the high season (July-September), especially on weekends. On week-days, however, it is much more peaceful. Luckily, our guides have some tricks up their sleeves when it comes to avoiding the crowds. Hint: they know exactly when and where to go.

Thousands of people climb Mt.Triglav every year. Some come better prepared than others, who underestimate the climb, which can lead to accidents. But with the right approach, knowing the weather conditions (especially the possibility of thunderstorms and snowfall), with the proper safety equipment and an experienced guide, you can minimize the objective dangers and feel completely safe.

Mountain huts in the Slovenian mountains are very cosy and authentic, but provide only basic comfort. Don’t expect too much luxury. Early bookings are usually rewarded with a room but if all rooms are full there are dormitories. There is no shower and the lavatories are basic. There is running water but it is not drinkable. The food is tasty and local but the menu is limited to a few dishes and drinks.

The earlier the better. The highest season, from July to September, it is not unusual for huts to be fully booked for months ahead. Weekdays are better but we still suggest bookings at least a month in advance. Last-minute bookings are very dependable on the weather – if the forecast is not a perfect bluebird, then some spots usually become available a few days before.

We can’t transfer luggage between the huts since they’re not accessible by car. However, we’re happy to recommend luggage storage solutions for your convenience.

(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!
