Description

The Julian Alps are a fantastic mountain range in Slovenia. This collection of peaks rests near the border of Northern Italy, and were named after the Roman emperor Julius Caesar.

On this 5 day adventure, I would like to take you to various areas within the Julian Alps for some thrilling ice climbing. We will operate out of Kranjska Gora. This area is one of the most famous areas in Slovenia for winter sports. And has hosted several international events, including the Alpine skiing world series. Your hotel will be located here, and is very comfortable. Thus giving you the chance to rest and recuperate for the next day’s ice climbing!

I will guide you through all kinds of different areas. There is the Predel lake, where there are several different ice falls. There is Mount Prisank (2,547m), where there are several ice falls. There is the Planica valley and the memorable Crne Vode as well. The Crne Vode is an area full of glorious waterfalls that in the winter season become glorious ice falls that you can scale.

Ice climbing is an exhilarating activity. And in the Julian Alps it is absolutely unforgettable. The area is gorgeous, and some of the views you will get will last a lifetime. However, the ice falls we will can be very challenging. With that said, participants should be in excellent physical condition, and should have previous ice climbing experience.

So if you are looking for a week of extreme ice climbing in the Julian Alps, then this is the trip for you. All you have to do is send me a request, and I’ll be more than happy to guide you.

And if you want to explore more of the Julian Alps, I also offer this snow shoeing trip.
