Winter climb of Triglav north wall

Ready to pursue the highest mountain in Slovenia? Come along as we go on the mightiest, highest and broadest wall of this 2,864 m mountain in the Julian Alps. The wall is 1,000 m tall and almost 4,000 m wide. It is so powerful that we simply call it the Wall – with a capital W. So, grab your mountain shoes and helmet, and let’s go!

Triglav’s north wall offers over 120 routes. On this program, I will reveal the kingdom of the Wall and the puzzles of its classic climbing routes to you. A classic Slovenian tour!

First of all, I will pick you up at your accommodation (Kranjska Gora, Bled). Then, we will transfer to the Vrata valley. Ideally, this point is where our hike will both begin and conclude. But if the road to Vrata valley is not clear of snow to make reach this starting point – which takes between 1.5 and 2 hours -, we will start walking from the middle of the valley (around 5 km in from the parking place in Vrata).

Next, we will follow the path below the Wall, and ascend around 500 m. If the winter conditions are ideal, you will get a full 900 m of best winter climbing! Once at the top of the wall, we will follow Prag via ferrata for our descent.

This program is available from the end of February, until the end of April. If the conditions of the Wall permit it, we could also go on this tour before this initial date.

OPTIONAL: If you would like to pursue the Triglav summit (2,864 m) as well, we can add this to the program. This would require spending the night at a hut, to reach the summit on the second day. See additional fees and expenses for this option below.

The basic equipment you will need for this program is: appropriate mountain clothes and shoes, helmet, climbing harness, backpack, 2x locking carabiner, sling 120 cm. Before departure, I will send you a more complete list. Also, I will provide the technical equipment.
