Description

The Krn mountain (2,244m) in the Julian Alps of Slovenia is an amazing peak. Surrounding the mountain are beautiful rivers like the Soca river, the Tolminka river and the Lepenjica river. Along with those rivers, there are also several large peaks and small villages, like Vrsno, Dreznica, Magozd and Krn. And finally, on the northern side of the peak is the Krn lake, which is the largest glacial lake in the country.

Because there is such an abundance of amazing things to see around the Krn Lake, it is perfect for touring on skis or snowshoes. And on this trip, you will have the option to use either one. Also, because the area is so large, this trip can be extended to multiple days. And on each day, we will be touring for approximately 7 hours. However, you don't have to worry about accommodations because there are a number of comfortable mountain huts in the area. And each hut has comfortable beds where you can rest until the next day's touring adventure.

With an area of this size, and with so much to see, there are an almost endless number of routes to choose from. Hence making this trip around the Krn Lake area one of exciting variety. We will choose the routes based on a number of factors. They include weather conditions, the snow conditions, and the physical level and desires of the participants.

The Krn Lake is a beautiful body of water. And the Slovenian landscape around it is absolutely stunning. If you would like to join me on a ski tour, or snowshoe tour, for one day, or multiple days, in this beautiful place, just send me a request.

I can also guide you on a snowshoe tour through the Triglav national park.

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
