Triglav, the Slovenian Route
1-Day Expert Alpine Tour, Vrata Valley to Vrata Valley
Venture into the awe-inspiring Triglav North Face, a massive 3-kilometer-wide, 1-kilometer-high vertical expanse, crisscrossed by over 140 climbing routes. Accompanied by our IFMGA-certified guides, you’ll tackle the legendary Slovenian Route, the first ever ascended on this formidable face in the late 19th century by hunters from Trenta. This classic route, with its moderate climbing difficulty, offers a thrilling challenge, suitable for both summer and winter conditions. The climb presents not only technical excitement but also spectacular alpine scenery that feels almost otherworldly. Ideal for first-time climbers looking to conquer the Face, or seasoned adventurers returning for the unmatched thrill of this iconic ascent.

Itinerary
We park in an Alpine valley called Vrata and head straight towards Triglav, the highest mountain of Slovenia, and its 3-km wide and 1-km high vertical Triglav North Face simply called the Face. The trail, which is not marked, starts in a forest, then continues up as a barely visible path which passes large rocky slopes and a refreshing stream, offering breathtaking views of the Face and other spectacular mountains of the Julian Alps. After the initial pleasurable walk, we strap on our climbing gear and bite into the much steeper Face. The views en route are simply breathtaking and let you into the mysterious vertical world of the Face permeated with a rich history of climbing. The route finishes at the summit of Slovenski Turnc, 2,267 m, and is estimated to last about 5 hours. It is highly recommended to extend this tour over 2 days with the night spent in the Kredarica Hut, conquering Mt. Triglav and then returning back down on the second day.
