Description
Join us on a journey designed for bold spirits who crave the thrill of conquering the legendary peak of Triglav, looking over the**** Julian Alps at an impressive elevation of 2864 meters.
For Slovenians, summiting Triglav is more than just a test of physical ability; it symbolizes a deep connection to the land. The daunting challenge may seem insurmountable, but those who dare to venture beyond can achieve the impossible.
With proper preparation and guidance from our experts, we are confident that those who seek excitement and vitality can attain this empowering and realistic objective.
The history of Triglav dates back to 1778 when a brave group embarked on their ascent from Bohinj. Their expedition was arduous, with numerous challenges, particularly when they confronted the formidable final ridge. Its sheer steepness made climbing seem impossible, forcing the climbers to navigate it as if riding a horse.
Over time, the ridge was altered to provide easier ascents, enabling more adventurous individuals to savor the exhilaration of reaching Triglav's peak. In 1895, Jakob Aljaž acquired a plot of land at the summit and constructed a small shelter, transforming Triglav into a national symbol and a coveted aspiration for millions of Slovenians.
Upon reaching the pinnacle of Triglav, you will be treated to a breathtaking panorama encompassing the Adriatic Sea and the magnificent peaks of the Alps.
Book your spot today and ascend this iconic peak that's a must for every adventurer's bucket list.

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!

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.
