About Climbing in Slovenia

Slovenia is a small nation, but the locals have always been very passionate about different types of movements through the vast natural wonders in their backyards. One of them is definitely climbing.

Slovenians have been climbing everything from boulders to big mountains for a long time, and that shows. Some of the top competition climbers like Janja Garnbret come from this country, and thousands more are testing their climbing skills on an amateur level.

Climbing in Slovenia can be done in any season and all parts of the country. In summer, most people go rock climbing in one of the countless climbing areas. There are plenty of diverse options to choose from, differing in rock geology, route difficulty, and climate.

If you are too nervous to try rock climbing, you might first want to climb a Via Ferrata. With ultimate safety and epic views, this combination of climbing and mountaineering is becoming more and more popular each year. And no wonder — Climbing up a panoramic wall with the help of iron cables, pegs and steps embedded into the mountain is an experience you never do once and always want more.

Even though rock climbing is still possible in winter, a new opportunity opens up — ice climbing! Although not every winter is the same, you can usually find enough frozen waterfalls in Slovenia to satisfy all the potential climbers. You just have to know the right people to show them to you.

Climbing in Slovenia is for everyone. The climbing scene in the country is so diverse that with the right guidance, everyone can find a route for themselves. Beginners will learn the basics and improve their climbing skills when going climbing with an experienced guide. Even intermediate and more experienced climbers will be happy being accompanied by a local guide, especially because they are not familiar with the routes here. The guide will help them find their perfect challenge and maybe even show them a trick or two.

First off: the hike of approximately 1 hour to the cave can be quite intense. However, we train jiu jitsu daily which has quite some cardio, and for us it was very doable. The hike was fun and had a few very nice viewpoints. After the hike, our amazing guide Anže gave us a good training on how to use the caving/climbing gear to go down steep/vertical slopes and back up. After getting ready, which took about 45 mins, we went into the cave. The cave itself is very large, and had some really nice features of which Anže was very knowledgeable and was able to explain a lot of details. After walking through the cave for a while (15-30 mins?) we arrived at the best part: an abyss of 40m straight down. This was an amazing experience, which was thrilling yet felt very safe. Even my wife, who has fear of heights, enjoyed the experience. She was scared/frozen for a bit, but Anže calmed her down, after which she was able to go all the way to the bottom and enjoyed it a lot! After the descent into the abyss, we climbed back up via another path, and experienced some more amazing parts of the cave. About 3 hours into the trip (including hike and preparation) we exited the cave and hiked back down to our starting point. This took another 30 mins I think. All in all, around 4 hours total for our trip. The experience was really unique, felt safe, but still got the adrenaline pumping!! Both of us agree: 10/10 would do again!

We took the 4-hour "City Bike Tour Ljubljana" with our guide, Andrej. Andrej was fabulous: filled with informative, historical, and humorous details. The ride allowed us to see many parts of Ljubljana in a short time, and Andrej tied it all together. The ride was not too difficult (we are seniors). The lunch stop was perfect (Slovenian charcuterie, plus a pour of local wine): enough to eat, water to drink, and a convenient WC. We recommend this tour (and Andrej) without reservation. We could not hope for a better experience.

It was really wonderful experience! Luka our guide is professional and passionately guiding us to the beautiful Pokljuka! We are beginner, but thanks to him, we were able to complete the snowshoeing safely. We highly recommend this!

This was a truly amazing experience! We really enjoyed our beautiful Seven Lakes Valley hike with an overnight stay at a mountain hut. The alpine scenery of mountains throughout the hike was simply stunning especially the crystal clear emerald lakes, which are absolutely breathtaking! The cosy mountain hut was a lifesaver after a long day’s hike, dinner was hearty and delicious, atmosphere was lively and the beds were warm and comfortable - overall a great experience! What made it all the more enjoyable was being in the safe hands of our brilliant guide, Klemen who was not only very experienced, professional and knowledgeable, but he was also extremely helpful and accommodating. He went out of his way to take care of our needs during the journey. From the start, he was very responsive and proactive in helping us arrange our itinerary in the best way possible to maximise our time there. We also did a private rock climbing session with him after the hike and it was awesome! We definitely enjoyed our time in Slovenia with him and highly recommend going with this company and a private guide like him if you are looking for a customised trip.
