Dolgi Hrbet, Slovenia, Guided Winter Ascent

Located in the Jezersko region of Slovenia, the Dolgi Hrbet peak (2,473m) is a fantastic mountain. A highlight in the Kamnik-Savinja Alps, the Dolgi peak presents a wonderful climb that ends with some great views of the Kamnik-Savinja Alps once you reach the summit.

This trip will take place in the winter season. As a result, you will get to enjoy the trill of scaling the peak amidst snow and ice. Furthermore, this trip is actually not too difficult. Hence making it ideal for people who don’t have a lot of prior mountaineering experience.

The climb will take approximately 4 to 6 hours, along the popular German route. A portion of the Dolgi Hrbet mountain we will be climbing will consist of steep slopes. But rest assured, despite the slopes looking difficult, I will see to it that you are properly and safely guided. Also, on these slopes, you will get to use 2 ice axes, which, if you haven’t done so before, is a lot of fun, and makes for a great photo!

Since this trip can be strenuous at points, it is important that participants are in good physical conditions. Also, because this is a winter climb, attention will be paid to the weather conditions. But if they are agreeable, there should be no issue in making our way to the summit. And once there you will get some spectacular views of the valleys and forest below, as well as the other nearby peaks.

If you are interested in this exciting day long climb of the Dolgi Hrbet, just send me a request. I look forward to guiding you!
