Ice Climbing in Slovenia: Top Outdoor Adventures Awaiting You

Slovenia lies in the south of Central Europe, where it is placed at the meeting point of many of the main European cultural and trading routes. The mostly mountainous country, with the Julian Alps to the north, and over half of its surface blanketed in forest, also has an elaborate cave system, with over 10,000 across the country. In the winter, thick carpets of snow are rolled out across the mountainside, while its large collected of waterfalls freeze over.

Spectacular scenery

In the wintry months, the cascading waters begin to feel the tips in temperature, and slow down until they freeze over, forming fantastic walls of ice that is perfect for climbing. Swing the ice axe into the rock, feel the crampons on your feet as you push yourself up giant sheets of ice. Come and climb with us, whether it’s your first time on the ice, or want to upgrade your climbing skills.

Blend of culture

Bordering Austria to the north, Hungary to the east, Croatia to the south, and Italy to the west, the location of Slovenia has cultivated a special blending of culture. And territories of the country has been torn apart and shared among many previous empires and states, such as the Roman and Byzantine empires, the Republic of Venice and the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

Sustainable tourism

The wide variety of stunning landscapes are dispersed across the country, which spread out the steady streams of tourists. This means that Slovenia has avoided large-scale environmental pressures, contributing to the county’s title of having the world’s most sustainable tourism.

The winter months experience a large supply of snowfall, especially in the western regions of the country.
