Itinerary

Day 0: Arrival day

Travel to our comfortable partner hotel close to the Ljubljana Airport.

There will be a welcome meeting, briefing and kit check with our guides at 7pm.

Day 1: Climbing

We will head for the coastal area to experience the world famous climbing crags, Osp. It is a legendary place. Just a few decades ago it was only a cute tiny village close to Italy. Today it is a true paradise for a lot of climbers and it can be a pretty crowded place during the weekends. However, the traditional spirit of the old stony village is still there to feel it.

You can even buy some superb (red) wine from the locals, who are very proud of their small vineyards.

Day 2: Climbing

We will stay in the same area but climb in a different crag.

Črni Kal is a small village just a few kilometers away from Osp. Above the village is a long vertical barrier of solid limestone rock. There are hundreds of sport climbing routes, many of them at easier grades. Once we get tired, we will take a scenic drive towards Julian Alps through the one and only Soča Valley and end our day in Bovec.

Day 3 to 4: Other activity in the Soča Valley

During these two days we’ll experience the Alps in a different way.

We will test our skills in rafting the emerald Soča River, explore some of the Soča gorges, travel through time when checking sites from the First World War and visit some of the most scenic waterfalls in the country. Also, there will be time to treat yourself with more adrenaline like paragliding* or canyoning*.

Day 5 to 6: Back to rock climbing

We will change the environment and move to the east side of the Julian Alps. There are many smaller crags with just enough easy routes for our climbing course. In case of hot weather, we can refresh ourselves in the famous Lake Bled.

Day 7: Last day

Departure after breakfast.

About the guide

Mountain Guide

I'm a passionate mountain climber who enjoy all different kind of climbing conditions. I have been on a numerous climbing expedition in Himalayas,
Karakorum and elsewhere where I have done a lot of difficult first ascents. One of most prestigious was first ascent on Hagshu north face
(2015 piolets d'or) and NW ridge of Gasherbrum IV last summer.

As an IFMGA mountain guide I love to share my knowledge, passion and experiences with my clients, when I take them climbing skiing or
just hiking. When being off the mountains, I spend most of the time with my family and wife, often climbing in some rock crags.

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.

Valeriya

You’re simply the best!!! :))) Explore-Share made everything easy and stress-free. Will definitely use again.

Joshua

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.

Cami

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.
