Rock Climbing in Bled: Top Outdoor Adventures Awaiting You

Bled is a picturesque mountain town in the northwest of Slovenia, and only 55 kilometers from Ljubljana, the country’s capital city. With an abundance of outdoor activities, the valley that is sandwiched between Bled and Bohinj is known for having some of the best rock climbing spots in Slovenia. In fact, you can find interesting places to climb just a 5-minute drive out of town, while other crags in the surroundings of the Triglav National Park can be reached within an hour.

Quality valley climbing

The valley that snakes between Bled and Bohinj is possibly the best area in the entire country for outdoor activities, especially rock climbing. There are 7 main spots scattered across the valley that offer more than 350 routes, which is dominated by the imposing Mount Triglav (2,864m), the highest peak in Slovenia as well as the Julian Alps.

Sublime Slovenian scenery

The jagged limestone crags and peaks of the Julian Alps offer a stunning backdrop to rock climbing. And below the rugged walls the surround area is home to sublime scenery. Visit Lake Bled, a picturesque glacial and tectonic lake that circles the tiny Bled Island, home to an antique church. Overlooking this is the medieval Bled Castle, possibly the oldest in the country, which clings to a nearby cliff.

Excellent alpine access

The small central European state has excellent infrastructure, which means road access to the crags are smooth and short. So by being based in Bled, you’ll surround yourself with almost endless climbing opportunities. Choose from easy climbs to more demanding routes, and between single-pitch and multi-pitch climbs.

It has a continental climate of warm and dry summers, and cold winters. Spring lasts from late March to may, with Autumn lasting from September to November.
