Description

Mount Triglav (2,864m) is a proud monument of Slovenia. This extraordinary peak is not only the highest mountain in the entire country, but also the highest mountain in the Julian Alps. It is also the namesake of the country's only national park. Yet despite the mountain's accolades, it is actually not a very difficult climb. Furthermore, at the top of the peak, there is a thrilling via ferrata that you will get to experience as well. And from the summit, you will get to enjoy some breathtaking views. There are many different ways to scale the mountain, and on this 2 day trip, we will do it from the Krma valley. This route is one of the easiest routes to take up to the summit.

Depending on weather conditions, we will either reach the summit of Mount Triglav in the afternoon of day 1, or in the morning of day 2. However, regardless of which day we choose, we will be spending the night in the Triglavski Dom located on Kredarica, which will take approximately 5 hours to reach from the Krma valley. From Kredarica, the climb to the summit will take approximately 2 hours. Finally, the descent back to the car at the Krma valley will take approximately 6 hours.

There is also the option to do the ascent and descent on a single day as well. However, that option is reserved for people in excellent physical condition. Weather conditions also play a large part in the single day excursion option as well.

If you would like to climb to the top of Mount Triglav, I would be happy to guide you on this exciting 2 day adventure. To join me, all you have to do is send me a request.

Are you looking for another climbing adventure on a much bigger peak? If so, I can also guide you to the top of Mount Lenin in Kyrgyzstan on this 21 day expedition.

Mountain Guide

I was born in Kranj (Slovenia), and since I was a child the mountains have been my passion. I graduated in Sports at Ljubljana University and started an alpine career as a member of the Kranj Alpine Club.

In 1977, I climbed my first eight-thousander: it was a new route on Gasherbrum I. Some years later, a partner and I became the first Slovenians to ascend Mt Everest, also on a new route.

In fact, I’ve been at the top of Everest twice. The second time, I reached the summit with my wife Marija, and we were the first married couple achieving that.

Throughout my alpine career, I took part and even lead more than 20 expeditions in the Nepalese Himalayas. There, I climbed more than six peaks over eight thousand meters: two of them on new routes and three using pure alpine style. I also climbed in Patagonia, Pamir, USA, Caucasus and Scotland.

However, my major success was climbing a new route on Kangchenjunga, in alpine style and together with climber Marko Prezelj. After this, we won the prestigious mountaineering award Piolet d’Or.

I am a mountain guide since 1982 and I obtained my IFMGA license in 1997. I am also an instructor at the Slovenian Mountain Guide Association (SMGA).

I still live in Kranj with my wife and the youngest of our three children.

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.
