Description

Are you looking for a challenging via ferrata experience in the Julian Alps? Then let’s go to the Vevnica Peak, in Slovenia, up the “Via della Vita” route!

Standing on the border between Slovenia and Italy, Vevnica (2,340m) is one of the most impressive peaks in the Julian Alps. With very steep slopes, ravines and crests, this mountain is a very difficult objective even for expert climbers.

On this day outing we will head up the Via della Vita ferrata, the hardest in the entire Julian Alps. However, we will be rewarded with amazing views of deep blue lakes and big mountains, such as Mali Koritniski Mangart (2,370m) and Mangart (2,678m).

Keep in mind that for this trip you need to have a good fitness level and some previous via ferrata experience. The descent is also challenging!

So, if you want to try an extreme via ferrata in Slovenia, please contact me. Let me take you to the amazing Via della Vita route!

Mountain Guide

I am a IFMGA certified mountain guide, ski instructor, and sports teacher.

I believe guides do their best job when they guide in the mountains they are most familiar with. That is one of the biggest reasons why I specialize in guiding in Slovenia. I climb Triglav more than 25 times per year, which means I have climbed the most famous peak in my country around 400 times.

If you want to climb or ski in the Slovenian mountains, I am the right choice. I guide via ferrata, rock climbing, snow climbing, ice climbing, hikes, freeride skiing, and ski touring. Most of my summer work involves climbing Triglav, and most of my winter work involves Triglav and ski touring around it.

Slovenia offers good options for all of these activities, so you are welcome to take a look at my trips and find something for yourself. If you don't find anything, let me know, and I will see if I can help you!

I speak English. Ich spreche auch ein bisschen Deutsch. Parlo anche un po' di Italiano e hablo también un poco de Español.

If I am not available to guide you, one of the super experienced guides in my team will be your guide.

What people are saying about -Mitja

Leanne

Mitja was a guide I would want to join me on any expedition. Very skilled and knew how much he could push me to get to the top. I did a lot of huffing and puffing whilst he stood there waiting for me to catch my breath but I never felt pressured or concerned with anything at any time. What an amazing two days climbing Triglav in the winter. Nobody there and an experience I will never forget. I looked at the price for this and thought it was steep but in retrospect it was worth every penny. Thanks Mitja, had an amazing time and birthday. G+L.

Anatolii

The trip is well organised and Mitja is extremely experienced and professional guide. I’ve learned a lot from him, and due to his efforts and local knowledge of the mountain we could adjust our original plan and avoid bad weather. Due to his efforts our trip will become memorable.

Hollon

Mitja was awesome. I wouldn’t hesitate to use his services again as he is very knowledgeable and capable. He went above and beyond to make the trip as enjoyable as possible and even to help with planning the rest of the vacation around the country. Very personable and friendly. Thank you Mitja for the incredible experience of summiting Mt Triglav.

Fantastic hike with a great guide (Mitja) and beautiful scenery, an experience we will never forget. 🙌🤩

The trip is amazing, Mitja is the best guide ever, his life is dedicated to nature and mountains and he transmits it all the time making you feel a lot of love for Triglav. The accommodations are more than impressive its like a luxury hotel in the middle of nowhere. It was my first mountain climbing ever and he made it possible even for beginners and well... I can't say anything about Triglav but awesome is a beautiful mountain and been at the top is a life experience
