Description

Get ready to tackle Slovenia’s fourth-highest peak, Mangart ! Venture into the heart of the Julian Alps and conquer two spectacular routes.

If you’re new to the world of via ferrata or prefer a slightly easier challenge, the Slovenska Pot is for you. Rated B difficulty, this route covers 450 m in length and ascends 350 m, offering a fantastic introduction to rock climbing while still delivering incredible views.

Just below the Mangart sadde, we'll begin our journey. From there, you'll ascend to the saddle, then descend toward the charming Nogara bivouac before starting your climb on the Via Italiana. With the help of secure staples and steel wires, you’ll scale steep, airy walls while taking in phenomenal rock textures and expansive views. After returning to the saddle, continue along the scenic Mangart ravine on the Slovenska Pot to reach the summit of Mangart.

For safety, we recommend a basic self-protection set—helmet, climbing harness, and self-protection system. Don’t worry if you don’t have your own gear; our agency offers rentals so you can focus on the fun!

Please note that prior climbing experience and physical strength are essential to enjoy this high-adrenaline adventure.

Join us for an exciting day in the skies above Slovenia, where every step offers a new thrill and every view tells a story. Your adventure on Mangart awaits!

    Mountain Guide

    I am an IFMGA mountain guide born in 1980 in Mojstrana, a Slovenian village close to Mount Triglav, the highest mountain in the country at 2864 m.

    From an early age, my parents took me to the mountains during summer and winter. At that time, my father was part of a mountain rescue team in my hometown and was also going on expeditions to the Himalaya and the Andes, so he became a big inspiration for me. We went climbing, hiking, sport climbing and ski touring together. His enthusiasm truly influenced me.

    I went to Alpine school, then Mountain rescue team, I did the Alpinist exam and I became an Alpinist instructor. After that, I also studied to be a professor of Sport. Several years later, I decided to begin my mountain guide education and to become an IFMGA/UIAGM certified mountain guide.

    Our guide Stres Blaz was fantastic. He was very knowledgable about the mountain and was a strong guide that meant we could keep a good pace even with congestion on the mountain. I also had a small injury and he was very quick to support. Thank you for everything!
