Backcountry Skiing in Upper Carniola

Mitja is a great man. The only problem was that there was no fresh powder. For sure we’ll be back in Vogel.

Due to weather conditions, we had to go skiing in Nassfeld. We were very satisfied with the guidance, instructions and help from our guide/instructor Mitja. I highly recommend him to anyone interested in freeride skiing or ski touring in Slovenia, Italy, or Austria. Mitja is a great man and an excellent skier!

Excelent rour, great guide but it was finally Igor Gonrsko and Matja, not Mitja. Professional, serious and responsible

We are very pleased to have met Martin. He was like a father to us. Better than a father, a friend. We’ve been happy and working with a smile that Martin put in our faces. He had a good idea: invert the Triglav ski trip, because the 4° day had bad wheather Forecast. Then, first Triglav . On the last day, he proved this professional skills by guiding us through the fog by a karstic terrain, sometimes without using ski tracks. We’d be delighted to have him again and would be happy to repeat this whenever possible

Excellent tour with Igor- beautiful scenery and fun places to stay!

Did not end up doing the traverse but opted for day tours. Mitja was very flexible as well as knowledgeable and really knew the area so we had the best of the conditions to suit our needs. Highly recommended and would use Mitja without hesitation for future trips to the mountains of Slovenia. We had a great time.

I had a great tour with Mitja, who is a superb guide. He was thoughtful about the location of the tour based on weather conditions, ability, etc. and he adapted well to some unforeseen challenges including an icy ascent. Despite less than ideal snow, we had a fun and adventurous trip.

We had an excellent day together with our guide. He really took care of everyone (different levels of fitness), he was very flexible in the arrangements beforehand and was a true expert on everything that has to do with mountain activities. Highly recommended to book one or more activities with these guys!

We had a great day of skiing together with our guide Mitja. He took really good care of everyone (different skill levels), took us to the most beautiful ski resort and was there to teach us some extra skiing techniques. We had great fun, and would definitely recommend booking a ski tour with these guys, on or off piste!

Mitja has been an excellent guide during this trip. He knows each and every bit of the Triglav park. He also knows how to adapt the route for each group level. Being a quite good group of skiers, he took us into some steeper slopes and increased the overall descent of each day by 500m. So we achieved 1300/1500 and 1900m up during the trip. He has also a good practical sense so it can help to fix any technical problems during the trip. I highly recommend him!

Very nice guide for this trip around the triglav mountain! Recommended for nice ski touring, with beautiful landscapes, close to the nature. The guide adapts the route regarding the level of the group.

It was a very nice tour! Thanks, Mitja, for the photos!

I had a great time in Kranjska Gora/SLO, thank you. As Mitja was busy (which I did not quite understand as we have made arrangements well in advance) we did a ski trip with Peter Joromel. Peter was great – very professional, accomodating and fun. Only the communication prior to our trip could have been a bit better.

Mitja is a great guide. He also gave us many good tips about accommodation, food,... The valley is gorgeous. We had a blast!

Great guide! Helpful, passionate and great company. Thanks for a great two days, and for lending me your ski crampons in my hour of need.

Unfortunately, due to high avalanche risk, we were unable to start the Triglav traverse. Instead we enjoyed 3 day trips touring around Kranjska Gora. Mitja is a fantastic guide, going out of his way to look after us, and taking us to some great spots. On a traverse snow conditions are secondary, but for day trips I would recommend coming earlier in the season, as the snow in April was a little warm and wet even at 2400m. Slovenia is beautiful and Mitja is very highly recommended, we'll be back!

Absolutely incredible trip. Rok knows exactly where the best snow is and will go out of his way to ensure you push yourself whilst staying safe. I couldn't recommend it enough.

Me and my friend did 2 days guided ski tours with Mitja in March 2017. We climbed Triglav, and second day Jalovec. We are both experienced ski tourers, we decided for guided tour because Julien alps are much more technically difficult than Austrian alps where we usually go. First winter ski touring in Julien alps and first guided tour in our life. Our experience with Mitja overcome expectations. He is very well organised, experienced and confident, his approach to clients very direct, honest but friendly as well. I felt safe with him in more exposed parts of our climb, and trusted his decisions and recommendations. I learned a lot about safety in mountains in general and will go with him in future again.

After an excellent experience with Mitja who led us to Triglav in summer 2016 we have decided to try also ski touring with him in February 2017. It was our first experience with ski touring at all. Mitja was able to manage all equipment and logistics for us so that we could focus on enjoying the two trips in two consecutive days. Although the weather was uncertain Mitja managed to select the locations (one around Kranjska Gora and second close to Pokljuka) where we enjoyed the tours a lot. It was simply amazing. We felt secure and can recommend Mitja as an excellent choice. Czech team: Jirka, David, Tomas, Libor

The Triglav Traverse with Mitja was a highlight for me in winter 2016. We toured through fairytale like landscapes and skied fresh lines every day. I am still puzzled how little ski touring is popular in Slovenia so far, which allowed Mitja to lead us to many amazing places without running into other skiers. Coming from Switzerland I am used to crowds and busy huts on days with such great conditions – and I was very happy to have had this alternative Slovenian experience with so much peacefulness! Mitja kept a good eye on all members of our group of 4 people and went big lengths to make it an unforgettable experience for all of us.

I have met Mitja in 2014 and have made more then 10 trips with him since then. Mostly we go on ski-touring trips in Slovenian Alps, among those the most epic was our 3-day traverse of Julian Alps, topped with winter ascent of Mt. Triglav (highest peak in Slovenia). Mitja is a very professional mountain guide, always cheerful and full of information. He is very aware of local conditions and can find best snow conditions, no matter what time of the season. Highly recommended for people who want to advance in their mountaineering skills or just have the best time in the mountains!

We had a great ski touring experience! Well planned, brilliant and nice guides - an awesome and recommendable company for everyone interested in adventures and life-long memories.
