Via Ferrata in Triglav National Park: Top Outdoor Adventures Awaiting You

Nestled into the Julian Alps in the northwestern region of this small central European nation, Triglav National Park is an excellent destination for any via ferrata adventure.

The most remote part of the park is easily reached in two hours from the capital. It is fairly easy to get to via taxi or bus, but many guides include transport in their packages.

Once you arrive in the national park, there is a plethora of options from which to choose ranging from single day climbs to some of the park’s smaller peaks all the way to three-day climbs of Mount Triglav, the nation’s highest peak.

In this mountainous region of the country there is plenty to see and via ferrata can quickly and easily take you to the heights from which to enjoy the best views the country has to offer.

Everyone can do it

Via ferrata is an excellent sport for family as well as groups of friends and Triglav National Park is a great place to try it out. Basic instruction can be provided the day of the climb and spectacular views are only a few hours of climbing away! If you are more advanced, no need to worry, there are tougher via ferrata here too.

**Stunning scenery **

The scenery here looks like it could come off the pages of a calendar. The Julian Alps lend themselves to scenic views both from the base of the climb all the way to the top. Once you’ve summitted whatever peak you are climbing on the ‘iron route’ be sure to take in the spectacular views of mountains, forests and lakes that stretches out below.

Come for the culture

When you’re not out climbing on the ‘iron route’ enjoy some of the country’s impressive culture. From the capital’s baroque architecture - where every Slovene adventure begins - to the numerous wineries and olive groves that dot the idyllic countryside, there is plenty to keep you occupied even when you are not out climbing.

During the spring, temperatures are quite pleasant, but get colder with more altitude. Rain is not infrequent either. During the summer, temperatures are moderate, but can get all the way up to the mid-30s. In autumn, temperatures become quite pleasant again. Rain is less common during these months.

This depends on what you would like to do and how much time you have. Many guides offer single and half-day via ferrata trips as well as half-week and week-long climbing excursions. A week should be enough time to experience all the top spots in the park.
