Description

Whether you’re a beginner or an expert ice climber, experience an awesome alpine experience with me in the Julian Alps.

What to expect

I’ll pick you up from your hotel in Kranjska Gora, Bled or Ljubljana. Then, we’ll drive for an hour through the Julian Alps to the alpine walls. You’ll be able to take in the spectacular scenery around you, and we’ll go through the basics of ice climbing. We’ll also talk a bit about your experience. Then, based on that I’ll choose the best spot for you.

When we arrive at our destination we’ll get geared up ready to climb. That’s where the real fun begins! From January through March the conditions are perfect for ice climbing. Our climbs are 100% alpine, so you get the ultimate winter experience. We normally do climbs that are between two to six pitches long. I can adjust for all levels and make it easier or harder according to how you’re feeling.

When we’re done climbing, I recommend stopping for some traditional food. That will complete your Slovenian alpine experience. I’ll then drop you back at your hotel.

Customise your trip

You can adapt this trip to make it either half a day, a full day or multiple days. If you choose multiple days, we’ll also be able to explore the Kamnik-Savinja Alps and the Karawanks.

So what are you waiting for? Sign up now and come and join me for an epic mountain experience.

If you also want to have some fun practicing rock climbing, join me in Ljubljana for a half-day indoor climbing session.

Mountain Guide

Climbing, that is me. Doing rock climbing since I was 10, from hard sport climbs to free alpine ascent of Trango Tower.

Now enjoying easier ridges with best views. The sound of nature, the smell of winter, screeams of joy. Lots of fun I found climbing with my son and wife, and friends.

I have more than 20 years of experience with guiding groups and familys. I understand safety, open spaces, mountain joy and good food are key factors. Come for a unforgetable joyride.

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
