Via ferrata in Slovenia: routes in the Julian Alps

Secured wired routes (commonly known as via ferrata) are very popular in Slovenia. Discover some of the best spots for this activity in the Julian Alps and enjoy an exciting high-altitude experience!

The Julian Alps stretch along the border of Slovenia and northeastern Italy. Due to its impressive mountains, lakes and valleys, this region is considered as an outstanding destination for mountain sports lovers.

In fact, those seeking for challenge and adventure will be thrilled with the wide range of via ferratas in this region. You can find routes for every level, either for beginners or expert climbers.

So here's what I propose: we can go on a 1 or 2-day trip, choosing one or several routes.

In fact, I can pick you up at your location in Kranjska Gora, Mojstrana or Bled and then take you back.
