Jezerska Kocna, Slovenia, Guided Winter Ascent

Standing tall in the Kamnik-Savinja Alps of Slovenia, Jezerska Kocna (2,540m) is a magnificent peak. And for an entire day, you’re going to have the chance to climb to its summit while breathing in the crisp air of winter.

Despite the winter conditions, the route we will be taking is actually not that difficult. And the summit of Jezerska Kocna is a fantastic conclusion to the climb because the panoramic views are absolutely stunning.

We will be climbing along the north-west ridge of the mountain. And due to the winter conditions, the climb, which usually takes approximately 5 hours, will actually take longer than it otherwise would during the summer. However, as a result of the extended time, you will have more chances to enjoy the expanding views as we get higher and higher. Thus giving you a constantly growing experience that culminates with the Jezerska Kocna’s wonderful summit.

Mountain climbing in the winter is a fantastic experience. It feels like you are doing something nature itself is saying you shouldn’t. But when you reach the summit of whichever mountain you are scaling, you realise those warnings are nothing more than tests. And on this full day trip, I would like to help you conquer that test and gaze at the scenery from the Jezerska Kocna summit.

Participants on this trip should be in good enough physical condition to handle the rigours of the ascent. Also, some previous mountaineering experience, particularly in winter, is advantageous.

So if you would like to join me to the top of Jezerska Kocna, just send me a request. I look forward to guiding you.

I can also lead you on a similar full day winter climb to the top of Skrlatica in the Julian Alps on this trip.
