Matevz, an IFMGA mountain guide takes you on a challenging multi-pitch climbing trip in the North Face of Triglav: the Long German Route, a 1000 m high route only for experienced climbers.

Beginner
The majestic north face of Mount Triglav is considered the most beautiful wall of the Julian Alps. Because of that, climbers from all over the world attempt to climb its many routes.
In this programme, I propose to climb the Long German Route, a classic 1000 m high route.
This route reaches a grade IV in the UIAA Grading System. Even though it combines easy to advanced climbing, you need to have a wide climbing experience as well as being in a good shape.
To exit this route you can take Kugy's shelfs or follow a path right to the top of Mt Triglav.
Would you like to come on this rock climbing trip in this iconic peak of Slovenia? Send me a request so we can plan this together!
I offer many mountain programmes in this area, like multi-pitch climbing in the Cop Pillar route. Please note that you can combine this trip with any other you wish and receive a discount. Besides, you can ask about other non-mountain activities including horseback riding, mountain biking, skydiving, paragliding, kayaking, hot air ballooning and more!

Mountain Guide
I’m a certified IFMGA mountain guide and canyoning guide living in the small and famous town of Bled, in Slovenia.
I started rock climbing at the age of 5. From that time on, the mountains became my playground. During my childhood, I took part in many rock climbing competitions. When I was 12, my twin brother and I did our first multi-pitch climb on a 350 m wall.
By the age of 16, I started competing in ice climbing world cups and later on skydiving junior world cups. In fact, in 2008 I became the world champion at the UIAA Ice Climbing Overall Ranking in speed ice climbing.
I climbed in many different countries like Peru, South Korea, Switzerland, France and Italy. However, Slovenia is the place I like the most.
Among other significant achievements, I did the first winter ascent (from the bottom of the wall) in Sphinx, the most difficult route in the mythical North Face of Mt Triglav. Besides, I got the first place for males at the IFMGA International mountain guide climbing championship in 2017.
I like sharing moments with people, especially in mountains. Feel free to join me in the highest mountains, steepest walls and many other Alpine wonders. I’m flexible, so we can also research places in other countries worldwide. Deep canyons, emerald rivers, beautiful mountains, great people, a good laugh, you name it.
I look forward to meeting you!

This hike was a highlight of our trip! Matevz was an amazing guide. The one day hike up Mount Triglav was more challenging than we expected. Matevz is very experienced, which made us felt safe during the via ferrate section. He was patient and encouraging of us the entire way.

I had a very nice experience with explore-share. They were able to answer any questions I had about the trek like reaching the trailhead or equipment, etc. They also responded really fast. Matevz was also an amazing guide, helping us with the route when took a wrong route to the hut and was very clear and honest in his communication. He also ensured that we maintained a good pace to the summit without being too pushy.

We had an amazing time climbing with Matevz near Bled! He took us to his hometown crag and found us several routes that suited our skill level. Strongly recommended.

Stunning hike up Debela Pec with our guide Timotei from Altitude Activities. Everything was exactly as we hoped - super kind and friendly guide, beautiful scenery, fun hiking in the snow and a great traditional Slovenian lunch at the hut on the way down. Great experience!
Stay up-to-date on the best adventures.
