Mountain Climbing in Kranjska Gora

I had a great time climbing Mt Triglav with Urôs. It’s definitely been a climbing highlight for me, so I can recommend him and the company he works for. If you’re wanting a safe, well organised and friendly service, I don’t think you can look past these guys. I’d happily use Mitja and Urôs again.

Disliked this tour. And don't like the way the guys/guides are communicating.

Mitja was fantastic as a guide. Very communicative, accommodating, and always ensured you were doing alright. Weather was not the most pleasant but Mitja clearly knows the mountain very well and how to guide you safely up and down the mountain safely despite heavy snow and winds

Great service from both Explore-Share and Mitja Sorn Guiding Team. Mita introduced me to my Guide Uros who kept me up to date and informed about the climbing situation due to weather. Due to limited availability of time and good weather, we opted for a day climb. It was a very long day, but thoroughly enjoyable despite the limited views. Uros was very knowledgeable of Triglav and the national park and we had some great conversations. A fantastic experience and totally recommend Mitja and his guiding team. Thank you!

We had a great trip with Cveto, very experienced and he made sure we had the best experience possible. Thank you!

It was a hard climb but we'll served by the guide and his team!

Bonjour à tous, Un petit commentaire en français pour nos amis francophone : Super guide et organisation au top, il connaît la montagne et la région comme sa poche. Le rythme de montée était plutôt cool peut être plus lent que ce qu’on aurait fait naturellement mais il ne faut pas oublier qu’il y a 1500m de dénivelé positif sur 7,5 km jusqu’au gîte d’altitude, une montée de 5h qui s’est passé dans la bonne humeur en papotant. Quelques superbes point de vue sur la vallée et pas de difficultés particulières et Mitja fait les explications d’usage et répond à toutes les questions sur la région. Il parle de nombreuses langues mais pas le français, son anglais est impeccable avec une pointe d’accent locale. L’arrivée au gîte donne un superbe panorama, petite déconvenue plus d’eau depuis 8 jours dans le gîte, je vous laisse deviner ce que cela signifie niveau toilette. Étant partie tôt nous sommes arrivée vers 13h petite pause repas et ascension finale a 14h00 Pour des questions de sécurité nous avons été séparé en deux groupes de 4 en cordée avec un guide supplémentaire. Je vais être clair c’est le grand moment de la journée, via ferrata 400m de dénivelé sur 1,5km dont la moitié de crête, l’ascension est spectaculaire et physique, c’est totalement incroyable. Nous avons eu la change d’être avec un couple de super grimpeur et un guide qui a compris que l’on avait envie d’être challengé l’ascension a été faite en 50min contre 1h30/1h45 en moyenne on s’est régalé. Une fois en haut sensation d’accomplissement personnel et un panorama totalement mérité que seul votre sueur peut vous offrir. PS : un gars vend des boissons en haut (6 euros) il monte des dizaine de bières, panaché et coca. Repas dans le gîte rien à dire on mange bien Mitja s’occupe de tout on se laisse porter. La nuit dans le gîte et bien c’est une nuit en gîte quoi (propre rien à dire et tout le monde respectueux). Le lendemain descente en 3h20 pour les plus rapides et habitués, Mitja a pris soin de ceux un peu en difficulté sur la descente. Super souvenir, une bonne première approche de la moyenne montagne, cela permet de savoir de quoi on est capable. IMPORTANT Après en avoir discuté avec les autres si les conditions météo les permettent et si Mitja le propose faite vous violence même si vous etes un peu fatigué et faite l’ascension finale dès le premier jour. Le lendemain la nuit en gîte ne vous ayant pas vraiment reposé et quelques courbatures et/douleurs apparaissant vous n’aurait pas le même plaisir et vous subirez la descente sur sol glissant. De plus vous êtes en bas vers 12h donc vous avez le temps de profiter de votre après midi :) Merci à Mitja et au super petit groupe avec qui nous avons grimpé. Maintenant on va viser un somment à 3500 ça donne trop envie. Amis grimpeurs avertis même si vous avez un peu d’expérience, la montagne est toujours un risque un guide le limite donc ne jouer pas avec votre sécurité et faites vous encadrer. Est ce que nous aurions pu le faire seul ? Oui sûrement. Est ce que nous aurions pris autant de plaisir : NON clairement, là nous avons pu débrancher le cerveau et simplement profiter cela change tout. ++ Emilie et Steve

It was amazing!

Mitja is a great guide, I can fully recommend the trip and his services!

Our guide and tour were amazing!

We had a fantastic trip up Triglav with Igor from the Mitja Sorn guiding team. Communications in advance while we were organising the trip were very responsive with all of our questions answered. We were told exactly what to pack in advance, which was really helpful, and we were very impressed with how well organised everything was to get us up the top in the best weather conditions (which given the changeable weather was quite an achievement). Igor was clearly a very experienced guide and made us all feel very safe on the trip. The Triglav mountain hut was extremely comfortable though you might consider taking ear plugs if you are kept awake by noise. We would have no hesitation recommending this guiding team to anyone else contemplating a Triglav ascent during their visit to Slovenia.

Rok was a very professionnal guide and a very nice man . We enjoyed our trip with him

We climbed Triglav mountain with our kids of 11 and 14 years old. Our guide turned out to be Blaz and this couldn't have been better. Such as nice normal guy with so much experience. It was fun with him, lots of info and it felt really safe so we could relax and enjoy the climb and descent. Explore -share was a good way to get in contact with the professionals we needed on this trip.

Our guide Cveto was very knowledgeable and friendly. The pace of the climb was tailor made and perfect for our group. Overall a very enjoyable experience!

Mitja is a top guide! He made us wake up early (4am), so we could do the climb all the way up in the morning/at noon the first day to have the best views (in the late afternoon and next day rain announced). He keeps on motivating you during the climb and makes you feel safe all the time (it was our first time via ferrata). If you are in good physical condition, you can easily do the climb. The hut is very basic. But everything is arranged by Mitja, so you just need to 'relax' and enjoy. Thank you for the experience!

The trip was great, the list of equipment adapted and our guide was so impressive and passionnate. If you have the chance to hike with Cveto, you can go for it with your eyes closed !

It was a great hike. Very well organised and managed. The views were fantastic!

Exceeded all expectations! Would recommend both the platform, the mountain and the guides to anyone!

Long story in short: Great

Fantastic experience climbing Mount Triglav with outstanding mountain guide Mitja Sorn. It was my first winter ascent and ski touring experience but Mitja made it an enjoyable experience despite challenging conditions with strong winds and freezing temperatures. He knows these mountains like his own back pocket and is able to maximize the experience without taking undue risks. Truly a great experience.

My experience on triglav was amazing and in no small part due to our leader Mitja Sorn who was the most confidence inspiring leader one could have followed. Mitja pitched the whole trip professionally, timely and allowed the whole group to be involved in the climb. I felt our safety was a priority from the start of our two day journey till the very end of trip. I would like to thank all of our group and your team for the most amazing two day trip.

Hello! Super nice trip, We’re lucky with weather, sun, only little wind. Mitja was really good guide, teaching stuff & feeled really secure. I really recomend this tour if you are interested in to come out of comfort zone and have some experience I'n winter hiking already. Cool Trip!!! Teemu & Leon

Martin was an excellent guide, very friendly and knowledgeable, who recognised the clients capabilities and adjust the course Accordingly. I would highly recommend him and look forward to booking my next climb. Well done Martin 👏

We had a fantastic climb with Mitja. He is a great guide - we felt 100% safe - but and he is a good companion too. The climb itself was magnificent, also thanks to our luck with weather - good timing is essential. We caught a sunny day with a perfect snow on a weekday in November, and had the summit all for ourselves.

We had a great climb with the guide Matija. He was excellent in every way. Matija was very informative, friendly, safe and is clearly an excellent Alpinist. He was also very engaging and great at general conversation. We really can give him our highest recommendations. thanks to ES for a great tour.

We were very lucky to have Matija as our guide, we felt so safe and he taught us some tricks to make our hike easier, thank you very much! luisa and leo

Igor was a fantastic guide, Martin joined us for the summit and was also joined. Would definitely recommend to a friend

Was a really nice trip. Definitely worth the money if you have never done Via Ferrata or climbing in general. The guides were really nice and very professional. The hike to the hut was steep and difficult but when you have a good fitness it is doable. The part from the hut to the top looks scarier than it actually is. We felt very safe and secure all throughout. Special thanks to Nejc and Luka!

Amazing!!!! One of the best experiences we had!

Excellent all around. The guide (Martin) was friendly, knowledgeable, and strong as hell! I had a blast and will never forget this challenging, yet rewarding experience.

I can't imagine a better guide than Mitja. It was one of the best experiences of my whole life. Thank you!

The best experience I have made so far!

The guide Matej is a lovely and proficient guy who especially understands how to adapt to fit the needs of different people and varying levels in a larger group. He is a very caring and solicitous guide and is a lot of fun to hang out with. The booking process however is a bit confusing. We had to communicate on various channels while receiving too many emails being contradictory at times.

We couldn't do the north wall of Triglav due to adverse weather conditions. So we did the Triglav winter climb through the normal route.

I had a fantastic time on this climb; it was pushing my limits but I felt well looked after by Marco, who was professional and friendly throughout the trip. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

Had a great time even though weather conditions were such that we had to climb a different mountain but Mitja had great alternatives in mind and we very much enjoyed it - highly recommend if you’re in Slovenia looking for a guide. Thanks for the two days!

Unfortunately due to bad weather we had to turn around at 1900m on Triglav. It snowed heavy the day before the climb so the snow was also over a meter deep. Fortunately Mitja planned another mountain Mali Draski which we were able to summit. This was a great experience and I got the chance to use my ice axe and crampons which was just what I wanted. Mitja was a great guide who passes on his knowledge and teaches you things along the way. He has incredible knowledge and understanding of the mountains in the area and will keep you safe throughout.

I had an absolutely amazing couple of days climbing Mount Triglav in winter and I can not thank my guide Mitja enough for making it such a great experience. His knowledge, experience, encouragement and enthusiasm made an ascent not only possible but also a pleasure. Triglav was incredible! The views from the summit were breathtaking, the National Park was beautiful, and I will be returning in the New Year. Thank you very much Mitja, thank you explore-share.

I was privileged to have Mitja Sorn as my guide for some snow trekking and easy climbs in November 2019. Mitja has met severe climbing challenges on several continents and has superb skills and experience. A very good leader and teacher with a relaxed style.

It was a great experience. My guide, Tadej was very accomplished and confident. I trusted him 100%. The interactions and communication were very professional. I would recommend explore share!

Igor was fantastic Very professional Very nice guy.

Grega is a very professional and knowledgeable guide who facilitated a wonderful adventure and memory for me.I would thoroughly recommend both Grega and the 1 day trip if you have a high level of fitness.

Igor was a very nice guide. He did a good job leading our group and making sure that the slower ones were taken care of. It would have been helpful to have him lead group introductions before we got started and also provide a small briefing of the timeline, itinerary, mileage, and how meals and payments would work. In the future, it would be a good idea to ensure the registrants have experience with mountain hiking and a general level of fitness. Two members of our group were clearly unprepared for what the trek would entail. Perhaps in the future, it would be good to either have the meals at the mountain hut included in the trip cost or allow the registrants to purchase food completely separately from the guide (instead of having the guide organize this). Both the hike and the summit climb were incredible! I appreciate Igor and Luca’s patience in ensuring the safest timing for summiting, and I also appreciate Igor allowing some of the group members to run ahead when some of the others were moving slowly. Overall, it was a great trip. I would recommend this to any of my hiker friends!

I find it a bit awkward that all correspondence goes through a third party as it is less efficient. Once I had a guide’s email it all went smoothly

This rating is for Igor Kremser, who ended up guiding our group. He did an amazing job and made everyone feel comfortable climbing to the peak. He also took great pictures along the way and shared them with us. All in all, a fantastic experience!

It was a great adventure and experience! Mitja is a fantastic guide and we all enjoyed the trail, even it was difficult sometimes

Great trip. Highly recommend. Pack your own liquor to the top!

It was a nice climb. All was organized in a professional way.

My main guide Rok and his helper guide Cveto were outstanding. Both were very attentive to personal and group needs. Safety is obviously a major factor in their guiding. I would recommend them and Explore-Share for any experience they offer.

Vi havde Igor Kremser som guide. Han var meget kompetent, vidende og havde et godt humør. Både voksne og vores 2 teenagere ville vælge Igor igen til enhver tid som vores guide. Turen op på Triglav er spændene, tilpas hård og overnatningen i hytten er en oplevelse værd. Vi er glade for, at vi havde købt de ting som stod på listen vi fik tilsendt. Specielt gode støvler, vandrestave, handsker og en god rygsæk anbefales. Der står i beskrivelsen, at Igor er aspirant - tag ikke fejl han er yderst professionel og en hyggelig fyr, at tilbringe et par dage med. Vi satte stor pris på, at han hentede os i Kranjska Gora i sin bil. Vi havde overvejer om en guide var nødvendig... det gør oplevelsen meget bedre og større . Tag en tur på Triglav med Igor - du vil ikke fortryde det

We enjoyed our trip immensely. Highly recommend Rok Zalokar as as guide. Very knowledgeable and patient with our group of climbers.

We were with Matevz' friend, (Ziga? - sorry if I spelled this incorrectly), but still definitely had a great time :). Thank you both .. hope to come back again!

To be frank we didn't really got what we wanted. We got Igor as a guide but he acted more of a babysitter rather than a true guide for us. The climb up to Triglav is not safe and we wanted a guide to ease the planning bc we didn't have enough time to prepare, and maximize safety while keeping our wishes in focus. We are not the easiest folks to guide as we are used to do stuff on our own. The guide does a good job if your only concern is safety and you're willing to blind trust people and not asking questions. He will drag you to the top and back. One big mistake he did, he never asked what we expected he never gave directions, or explanations, we only got to follow instructions and got short answers when we asked. We needed to challenge him at the end to get what we wanted and then he wasn't happy about it. We understand why, but we needed something else than we got until that point. The other thing is that we had an unfriendly guide in a hurry on the way down from the hut, day2. For us that hike would have been better without him. When it's said he did everything he was expected to do by himself fine (apart from day2), nice service at the hut and otherwise.

A fantastic trip, with an extremely professional mountain guide. Made us feel very welcome in his back yard, with excellent attention to both safety and enjoyment.

We can’t say enough great things about this trek. Mitja, our guide, was incredible, we would not have made it up without him. The whole experience was beyond expectations. I would wholeheartedly recommend this trek to others. Thank you for helping to make our trip so memorable!

One of the best organised trips I have been on. Mitja was very experienced and nothing was too much trouble for him. Responses to emails/texts were very prompt.

Great experience and great professional guide.

Our trip to the summit with guide Blaz was amazing! We had no experience but that did not matter at all. We had a great time, Blaz made us laugh and took us safely to the summit and back. Blaz was always in touch with the meteorologists and could tell what the weather was gonna do so he kept us out of thunder storms. One of the best things we have ever done. Thank you so much for this great experience!

Mitja was fantastic!!! Very proffesional and obviously very knowlegeable in the area and the climb. He was very patient with me being a beginner in climbing and helpful when I was having difficulty in parts of the track. I feel like we could not have chosen a better guide. A great guy as well. We did have a little issue with the start time/date of our hike. I’m not sure if that was to do with the timezone in the southern hemisphere when we booked our climb. Thanks for the unforgettable experience. Mary and Mick

We first hesitated to take a guide. We are both young fit people but don't have experience in hiking a mountain. But wauw were we glad we had Mitja! He made sure we were safe the whole time (and that wasn't always a giving (thunder storm aproaching, snow so we coudn't secure ourselves on the mountain,..). We did things we couldn't have done if we hadn't had Mitja with us. Great experience. Wish we could take him to all our mountain trips!

Great guide, great weather and thus a wonderful experience! Thanks Luka :)

Climbing with Mitja was such a great experience! There was still some snow on the mountain and there had been strong thunderstorms the day before we left, however Mitja was very reassuring and kept in regular contact leading up to the trip re details and weather forecast. We felt 100% safe trekking with him, and had the most amazing time!

Unfortunately the conditions were too tough to climb Mount Triglav but Mitja suggested a great alternative trip which challenged us and gave us an unforgettable experience in the Slovenian mountains! Highly recommend Mitja as a guide - he was one of the main reasons that we enjoyed the trip so much and we always felt safe in his hands. Overall an unforgettable experience and would highly recommend to anyone out there looking for a challenge.

We cant do the climb with the bad weather. The explore share team and Mitja answer at your question very quickly and they are friendly. Sad to not do the climb but good service !

Mitja was an amazing Guide,so glad my son and I chose him to do this winter climb. Mitja has so much knowledge about the climb and his expertise is valuable. We felt safe at all times and Mitja continuously provided encouragement and advice. Would recommend Mitja to anyone looking for a guide

Booking the guide was a simple process. Having a guide on the mountain climb and experiencing the mountains in those conditions was the highlight of the trip. I would recommend to anyone going to Slovenia. Thanks.

We had an amazing time. Our guide gave us many information about the regions flora and fauna. Even though the sight at the very top wasn't so good this day, the climb up was vey exciting. Thanks a lot.

I booked the Triglav winter climb and the communication via email was perfect. My tour guide was Luca, who is definitely recommendable. It was fun and I felt safely all the time. We had good weather conditions and could therefore climb the Triglav within one day. Thanks for this awesome adventure!

Thoroughly enjoyed this tour, met with all my expectations and beyond. Our Guide was excellent and provided an excellent experience. The hut was great and the staff there so helpful. The ascent of Triglav itself is a beautiful Alpine tour and a very interesting route and we were further blessed with excellent conditions on summit morning which made it even more memorable. I can highly recommend this tour to any developing Alpinist.

Mitja, Marko and luka were on their game and adapted to a varied group. I feel they delivered excellent value for money and wouldn't hesitate to book their services again in the julian alps or dolomites. Ben Hooper- Australia.

A really excellent service provided by Mitja, who sourced the fantastic mountain guide Peter Jeromel. Both provided superb advice and we were able to create a challenging but achievable climb of Triglav in winter conditions.

I loved this trip! We had spectacular views of the moutains! The weather didn't permit us to hike Triglav. We got to see 4-5 other peaks with snowshoes. Talk about breathtaking! Mitja was wonderful guide. He was on time, funny stories, and you can tell he loves what he does, which hands down makes the trip that much wonderful! Highly reccomemnd him! I will be back to do Triglav!

Well planned and brilliant communication before had, Mitja would reply to emails quickly and would answer any questions that we had. The walk was fantastic, deffinatly a challenge. Highly recommended.

Mitja was the man, so friendly and experienced. We wouldn't have been able to do the climb without him, he provided all gear and had endless tips and great stories about Slovenia and the mountain. This was for sure one of the top highlights of our 13 day honeymoon in Slovenia! -Taylor and Pete (New Jersey, USA)

Climbing Mt. Triglav with Mitja and Roks was a truly enjoyable experience for me that I would cherish forever. They are extremely organized, helpful and full of humor that made the difficult journey to the top so easy. Even though I was the slowest in the group, they made sure that I reach safely to the destination and enjoy the trek thoroughly. Mitja's repeated advice on being relaxed and not to think much over the hurdles on the path while trekking was one of the valuable takeaways. And I thank them thousand times for offering such a memorable trip in Triglav. For those who are thinking of climbing Mt. Triglav, I can reccommend Mitja and Roks anytime as guides to have a safe and comfortable journey.

Mitja is a well qualified expert guide, jbut more than that, he’s a good people-person and risk manager. While he’s introducing you to the countryside during the steadily incling walk up the former glacier/Kemal valley, he’s also assessing each of the groups’ strengths and weaknesses, forming sub-groups based on the optimal mix and the weather conditions. Even though he does this twice a week in Summer, you can tell he loves his work and interacting with people. The when we’ve arrived at the 2000m hut, he switches into safety, security and risk manager mode behind the scenes to ensure the final 800m via-feratta ascent to the summit goes without a hitch and to ensure each ‘guest’ gets maximum outcomes. To do this he uses a team of guides (Rok, Igor, etc) who take 3/4 guests and rope you together for the final climb up Triglav. I have to say, while I have a fear of heights (yet I’ve parachuted and abseiled/respelled) and my butterflies and toes were tingling all the way up, I felt very safe and secure throughout. My grand daughter was also born that day so I yelled a welcome to the world message off the top of Triglav for her. What a great day on many levels. Thx Mitja and team

Really nice experience

Leaving climbing Mt Triglav until late 50s and my nervousness about heights are both understatements. However at all times with Mitja and his crew of expert full-time guides (Rok, Igor and another) I felt in highly experienced, safe and capable hands. We had perfect weather so walked to top hut near Triglav and summitted in one day. It was challenging, scary and highly rewarding. I was in a mixed age and abilities group of 13, some of whom were ill-prepared mentally (some delusional that they were going out for an easy two day Hill walk) and physically. But all made it to the top easily and triumphantly. Well done Mitja and guide crew. Thanks Ash

It was the first day with “autumn weather “ since summer started. Mitja tried his best to make the right decision for us about when to go to the summit. We went the first day, unfortunately without a view from the summit but it was a good decision as the next day was very windy and freezing cold. Gloves, hat, poles were provided by Mitja. He us on a different way back so we would still have a great view almost similar to the one on the top, this route was amazing! Thanks Mitja It was super!

Well organised Great trip! Pack light but for all the elements Mitja provides all the technical kit

We had a fantastic experience climbing Triglav via the Blato Meadow, the seven lakes valley and back. We got the best of both worlds, hiking on our own to the Dolic Hut and back from the Planika hut, meant we could enjoy the scenery and wildlife at our own pace. But meeting Marco and having his expertise, harnesses, helmets and advice for the via farrata, ascent and descent of Triglav, was fantastic. We definitely felt safe and in good hands.

As soon as we decided to spend our holiday in Slovenia, we wanted to climb Mount Triglav. We both love hiking, but didn't have any climbing experience, mostly because of the lack of mountains in the Netherlands ;). Therefore we searched for a guided trip and found the two-day trip through The Seven Lakes Valley on Explore-Share. Mitja was not available on the date we preferred, so Blaz Stres was our designated guide. The e-mail contact prior to the trip immediately felt good, Blaz closely monitored the weather forecast so we wouldn't be raided by a thunderstorm or heavy rain. Our trip started at 5am and during the trip we gradually found out what an experienced mountaineer Blaz is. While we struggled on the steep parts and had to catch our breath several times, Blaz strolled with one hand in his pocket, totally at ease. At a certain point the weather got a bit rebellious and we walked in the rain for 3,5 hours (rain is something we DO have in the Netherlands, so nothing we couldn't handle), but after a while we were totally soaked. Blaz kept reminding us to only have quick breaks and keep on going, because hypothermia was looking around the corner. Eventually we arrived at the Dolic hut, where we would stay overnight, and it took us a while to get dry and warm again. The next day we started our climb to the top, Blaz explained everything and helped us with the climbing gear. We climbed for 1,5 hour and suddenly we saw Blaz standing before us, with his outstretched hand and a big smile on his face, saying: "Congratulations, you made it to the top!". Although we were pretty fast going up, our descent was rather slow because of a twisted knee, but Blaz kept us motivated (“It’s always an hour”, “We really ARE getting closer!” and “It’s only 100 horizontal meters”). When we finally got back to the car, with very muddy shoes, Blaz showed us the ultimate Slovenian hospitality by letting us put our feet in a garbage bag. For a safe, fun and unforgettable climb on Mount Triglav, we recommend everyone to do a guided trip with Blaz!

Our guide Marko was excellent - friendly and patient. Would highly recommend this!

Beautiful and challenging hike with superb guide. I can recommend booking this hike with Mitja and his team. With their supper we have been able to enjoy every step. Cheers, Michiel

I had an amazing time climbing Triglav; the weather was perfect on both days, the scenery from the valley to the summit is just outstanding, and Mitja was an awesome guide.

I really enjoyed the the climb of Triglav from Krma valley with Mitja, he is an excellent leader with so much mountain knowledge, years of experience and so much patience! I joined a group of 7 other climbers so was a great way to meet like minded outdoors enthusiasts. It was my first time using the via ferrata system - a safe and fun way to summit and reaching the top of Triglav with the group was exilerating! I would definitely recommend Mijta and joining a group to climb Triglav.

We started our climb from Krma valley. The hike to the mountain hut took us (group of 8) 5 hours. Mitja was really talkative answering all of our questions. He also hold a good pace and knew when a break was necessary. We reached the summit in the evening, but with other guide because 4 person per one guide was allowed. The trip was really enjoyable and the views were amazing. Also to note out that the price for the mountain hut is not included in the price showed on the webpage.

Igor did a great job, he helped me realize my dream. I am extremely grateful.

We had a wonderful trip up Mt Triglav with Marko. He was a fantastic guide, setting an excellent pace and looking after us all very well on the mountain and in the hut, bringing us our meals etc. He even played card games with us, and won them all, which my children thought was very funny!

We enjoyed it a lot! It was really amazing and we were overwhelmed with the views. The guides Igor and Rok were really good, trustworthy and relaxed and easy-going. They told a lot about the nature and environment. Besides this they took good care of the group. We had a great time! Thank you so much for this experience! Best, Lies and Anne

Rok and Igor were both fun and experienced guides. The trip was such a great adventure; saw some beautiful sights, met some fun people and just enjoyed every minute. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the Lake Bled area.

We had an absolutely fantastic trip climbing Mount Triglav and would recommend Igor to anyone!

The whole experience from top to bottom was amazing. Mitja and Igor were super accommodating, even trusting my friend and I to go up for a sunrise hike. Definitely one of the highlights of our trip, would highly recommend!

Mitja was thorough and professional. This was my first mountain climb and his instruction and kindness were over the top!! :)

Mitja is an excellent guide. The pace was nice and steady, not fast, and he made sure to not leave behind slower hikers. On the summit part where there are exposed and vertical areas, he made us feel very comfortable and before we knew it, we were on the top! He's a very friendly, well-spoken, interesting person to talk to, and it was nice doing the trip in a small group with people from many parts of the world. I would hire him again.

Very good tour! Mitja was able to understand my abilities and chose a challenging but amazing route.

This trip was completely amazing! Mitja is a really good guide and we can totally trust him during the hike. I recommend this trip and Mitja as guide to climb Mount Triglav in Slovenia!

We absolutely loved our climb up Triglav! It was one of the most amazing things I've ever done. Miha was an outstanding guide, we couldn't have done it without him. He was funny, encouraging and very knowledgeable of the mountain and climbing. It was a wonderful experience and we would definitely do it again!

Matevz was the best guide! He is a really nice and easy going dude. We had a lot of fun going up and he knew how to motivate us when we needed it. All together he was a very chilled an relaxed guide. We could not have wished for more.

Definitely would recommend. I had a unique situation where I stupidly gave Mitja the wrong address to pick me up in the morning for the hike. I didn't have an activated phone with me nor was I near wifi, but Mitja put in way more effort, than I ever would, to get a hold of me in order to set me up with another guide that was heading up to the hut later that day. My hike up the the hut with our other guide Igor was awesome, he answered all my questions and gave me lots of advice for travelling within Slovenia. Mitja was super accommodating, knowledgeable and chill. 10/10 must do, must see.

At the end I had to change the dates due to personal matters and Mitja couldn't guide me, but Peter did instead. The climb was absolutely great! We went up to the summit on the same day. The weather conditions changed a lot in less than 1 hour... we had strong wind, rain, hale and even a thunderstorm! Peter was a great guide and had everything under control, we felt very safe during the whole experience. I will never forget it! and I highly recommend it! Thanks guys!!

First of all a great thank you to you Tomo for a great hike and climb of the Triglav. The trip exceeded my expectations and I will be looking back on this hike as one of the best I have done so far! I had two very fine days in the mountains and thank’s to you for your very professional way of guiding! I really can recommend the hike up to the Triglav through the Valley of the seven lakes for anybody reasonably fit and also the way back to Blato was very nice going across the pass at Adam and Eve. It got a little exciting at the end, but I enjoyed it never the less and had great fun!

The climb was great in every way! Luka was a amazing guide and after some climbing suggested that we should do another route on Triglav than the one I booked, which was super fun and Im happy it was possible and suggested. 5/5!!

I have no comments on the guide. We were passed around between what ended up being 3 guides. I really enjoyed the climb, but I felt a bit duped and undervalued. I signed up with 1 guide after reading his profile. Then I was passed to a 2nd guide and then finally a 3rd guide with very little warning. He ended up being great, but it didn't make me feel valued. Also, I thought I had paid for the mountain hut already in the price but apparently it wasn't included. A bit of an unpleasant surprise. The rating I would give is a 4 out of 5 for the guide we had, Danilo. I will absolutely still consider Explore-Share for future adventures, so my experience wasn't soured that much.  

Weather was turning so we decided to push to the summit in one day...8.5 hours from Krma valley, up to hut, up to summit, back to hut. Rok is so great! I like a guide who moves fast. Thank you!!!!

The Mount Triglav climb was a fantastic experience and one I would thoroughly recommend. Our guide Mitja was excellent - very experienced and knows Triglav like the back of his hand! Safety was a top priority and it always felt like we were in safe hands. My fellow climbers in the group were a great bunch. We got lucky with the weather, so the views were spectacular. It's an experience I will remember for a long time and has fuelled my thirst for more adventures!

Our hike was great! Thank you!

Simply outstanding. I came all the way from Australia and boy was it worth it. The expertise and friendliness of Mirja and Marco made everyone feel comfortable, even when facing probably one of the scariest but best experiences. 10/10 would recommend, we even got to see panoramic views of Italy, Slovenia, Croatia and Austria.

We had a brilliant trip with Mitja climbing Triglav. He is a fantastic guide - extremely knowledgeable about Triglav and the best way to climb it. We did the whole ascent in one day, stopping at the hut for a few hours to have lunch while it rained. We then summitted in the late afternoon where the clouds cleared and we had a beautiful view. We hiked back down from the hut the next day after a lovely evening in the hut. It was a great time of year to go - less crowds and enjoyed hiking in the snow. We thoroughly recommend doing the trip with Mitja or his team, he is very experienced, friendly, considerate and made our trip even better than we had hoped. Thank you again!

Excellent ! We had great time.

Matevz is an excellent guide. He is extremely outgoing, professional, and a great photographer. I highly recommend this trip for anyone looking for their first taste of mountaineering or just looking to climb Triglav in general. I hope that Matevz and I meet again soon to go on another epic adventure in the Alps.

Amazing time with Mitja. Despite the severe weather conditions (wind and low visibility) we have made it to the top as the only climbers that day - from 20 trying! Triglav is not easy in such conditions. You need to be tough yourself. Mitja makes perfect evaluation of your physical strengths on 6h walk up to the hut. Always on top and sharing knowledge and stories from his lifetime. I would recommend to everybody with at least medium physical shape. See U soon on the summit!

Klemen is an excellent guide, with an intuitive feel for the mountains. He speaks several languages and his skills and experience are second to none. He first climbed Triglav when he was 7 and has over 40 years experience in Mountains, including 15 years in Mountain Rescue. You could not be in sounder, safer or better hands. Klemen brought my wife and I up Triglav in one day, we stayed the night in the Kredarica hut and went down the next morning. We’re not experienced climbers but are reasonably fit. Many people had told us that it was too windy, too cold to go up the mountain. Because of this, we wanted an experienced guide. Unless you’re a very experienced climber, I wouldn’t recommend going beyond the hut in any weather. It is exciting, scary at times and challenging… but it is so incredibly worth it, without a doubt the highlight of our holiday and year. We learned so much and have amazing memories! Klemen emailed us in advance to check we had the right gear and met us in Mojstrana (we had a rental car and it was easy to find & leave the car). He provided us with crampons, because he sensed they would be useful in the conditions. Many people didn’t have them, but we were very grateful we did. This is just one example of how well he understood the Mountain and how extra prepared he was. He brought us up quickly through the forests and highlighted the best place to get water and take photographs. He suggested when to add layers, and taught us many tips for walking, hiking and scrambling. At the hut, he acted as translator, ensured we got food and that my wife and I had a room to ourselves. Klemen brought us up the Triglav late afternoon, he ensured we had the right gear and tied rope round us and made sure we had the crampons on right. We had a harness on but didn’t use in the end, as we didn’t need to and we moved quicker without it. He kept pushing us, which was a good thing and took some photos along the way to help us remember the occasion. He would teach us the right way to do things, and ensured even we we felt challenged we were always safe. After descending, which is tricky too for novices, he went back to make sure people still on the mountain got down safe as it was getting dark. Klemen is fit, and will be able to match any pace you can go. He’s happy to answer questions and can alter the route as required (we went down the mule route for parts to avoid scrambling sections). On the morning, when we saw people climbing up Triglav we noted how the conditions were different and how tricky it would have been to pass other groups. We were very glad to have climbed it the day before, plus it made the evening a lot more relaxing and allowed a few celebratory beers. Klemen even brought us for tea/coffee after we got to the bottom and had lent me mountain boots as well as providing tape, after I had got blisters from walking. Unless you’re familiar with climbing Triglav, I would definitely recommend a guide. You get so much more out of it, learning and adventure wise, but mostly safety wise. Talking to Klemen you realise how experienced he is in terms of climbing, how much he loves the mountains, how he’s taught his kids climbing and skiing, and how well he is respected. Klemen knows many mountains well, especially the Alps (climbed Mount Blanc over 60 times). Triglav is spectacular, and we’d definitely recommend getting a guide and there’s no better guide than Klemen. ps we looked at a few providers, and Explore Share were not only best value (price wise) but they were also great at keeping in touch and re-assuring us that we could make it to the top. A great service. Thanks

The trip is amazing, Mitja is the best guide ever, his life is dedicated to nature and mountains and he transmits it all the time making you feel a lot of love for Triglav. The acommodations are more than impresive its like a luxury hotel in the middle of nowhere. It was my first mountain climbing ever and he made it possible even for beguinners and well... I cant say anything about Triglav but awesome is a beautiful mountain and been at the top is a life experience

The experience was amazing. Mitja was very professional , supportive and friendly. My group hiked through snow, which was challenging but completely rewarding. The stay in the mountain hut was fun and the staff were relaxed and welcoming. We climbed the summit the following morning and were lucky enough to have perfect weather making the views amazing. I would recommend this trip to anyone who is reasonably fit seeking a challenge. (Kerry the UK)

Mitja is a great guide encouraging but cautious when appropriate. In our case that meant we did not do the final leg to the summit because of looming thinderstorms and the risk of lightening strikes. Despite this our group had a great experience on what is a very impressive and beautiful mountain. The night at the refuge hut near the summit was also memorable and very convivial.

Fantastic hike with a great guide, an experience we will never forget ?

Our guide (Cveto) was excellent - patient, courtieous, careful with times. He and the firm were flexible when we asked for a last minute postponement. It was a difficult but extremely rewarding experience. Thank you very much!!

Mitja is everything one could ask for in a guide: kind, knowledgable, friendly, and very attentive to his clients and their levels of comfort. He is loaded with all kinds of interesting facts and climbing stories and is always wearing a smile.

It was an amazing trip and Rock was a wonderful guide. There was a difficult situation because of storm but everybody felt very safe thanks to Rock and his experience.

We were four guys and enjoyed the trip very much. Beautiful scenery and the guide took good care of us and we felt safe all the way to the top and back.

Mitja is an awesome guide! I felt his good energy and he patiently answered all questions. Made the hike down very interesting. Beside having 2 great days out in the mountains I also learned about the country and his profession. Highly recommended!

There was a misunderstanding from Mitjas part regarding dates and in the end he didn't guide us. That was the negative point and something like that cannot happen again. Mijta recommended his friend Borut Naglič who provided us an awesome and safe ascent to Triglav.

Mitja is very experienced with Mt Triglav, who gave us useful tips along the way to make the climb more doable. At the higher parts of the mountain where it was still snow covered, Mitja took care to dig deep little steps in the snow so that we could safely follow him. When we reached our hut at the end of the first day, Mitja told us that snow was still covering the via feratta towards the top of Triglav, and he gave us the option of taking a less dangerous path that would also give us a similar experience of walking on the mountain ridges for the next day, instead of ascending to the top. Hence even though we regrettably did not make it all the way up to the top, we really enjoyed the second day's descent, with parts where we slid down the snow in pure glee! We will definitely be back at a better season next time, and will make it to the top for sure!

We had two fantastic days at and around Triglav. The weather was perfect with almost no wind and a bright deep blue sky and it was a great experience to trek in the deep snow. Mitja did a solid job as a guide. He was knowledgeable and caring, but at the same time honest about the possibilities of the group. It is not the last time we visit the area.

Peter is an experienced pro. He is a nice guy and kept us entertained with stories from past adventures. He is also the "safest guy on the mountain". Could not recommend more highly.

(Trip Date: end of Apr 2017) The ascent was unbelievable, spectacular, frightening and shocking at times. We didn't expect this kind of ascent but eventually we did a good job. Pitty about the weather though, very foggy, couldnt see a thing... The guides were very good (peter & luca). They did a great job! The price of the cabin near the top is a little crazy (50pp) at the end we had to pay for the water we ordered during dinner. It was also suuuuuper cold in there so we decided to sleep in the eating room on the benches. Overall, great experience! We couldnt stop talking about it during our stay in Ljubljana! One tip: give a more clear explanation about the ascent, difficulty, heights. For us it went OK but can imagine that some other people with less physique or dare will find it hard! Also some clothing of my friends were not ideal. Especially the boots and the gloves were not always suited for the second part of the climb!

We have spent 2 awesome days on Mount Triglav in Slovenia together with Mitja. The weather was uncertain and there was still a lot of snow in some parts. If this adventure was a real success it is thanks to the professionalism of Mitja!

Mitja led us up Mt. Triglav in September 2016 and we had an amazing time. Mitja and his company were exceptionally professional at every step of the way. The team answered all of our questions promptly and prepared us well for the hike. Throughout the two days, Mitja was an attentive, knowledgeable guide. There were four of us in the group with varying experience doing a hike like this, and Mitja ensured that we were all safe and in good order throughout. We couldn't believe how lucky we were to have such a knowledgeable, skilled, thoughtful guide leading us up Triglav and I would recommend Mitja and company to anyone. You could be in no better hands.

I had an awesome time going up Mt Triglav with Rok! He was super friendly and made the hike all the better. Both the guide and the ascent were a 5 out of 5!

My ascent of Mt Triglav with Rok went very well.  The group reached the summit successfully.  It was the right decision to go for it on the same day that we had walked up to the hut. I felt safe all of the time with Rok and I would look forward to climbing with him again sometime in the future.  The other members of the group were very pleasant company.

We had a fantastic experience with Rok. We booked a 2 day trip to climb Mt. Triglav in June, 2015. The first 2/3rds of the ascent were pretty easy. During this part Rok was less of a technical guide, but was very valuable in setting a good pace to reach our hut on time, knowing when to stop for rests, knowing where the next mountain spring was to refill our water, and providing us with some information about the social history of the area, and some natural history about the mountains and forests we were walking through. It really increased my appreciation for the area and helped me enjoy the trek that much more. On the second day we climbed to the summit, and this is where Rok's experience and guidance proved invaluable. The trail led us along numerous ridges, with shear vertical drops on either side, and near vertical climbs up shear rock faces, some with, and some without a via ferrata to tie off to. I found it quite nerve-wracking, and would not have been able to do it alone. Rok was very calm and reassuring the entire time, giving gentle reassurance and encouragement, which really helped. In addition, he took our safety very seriously which gave me the confidence to continue to the summit. The landscape and scenery around Mt Triglav is absolutely stunning - I have a fantastic time, and would not have been able to enjoy it (or complete the trek even) without the help and guidance of Rok - he really does rock (I've been waiting this whole review to squeeze in that pun). I could highly recommend Rok and Vertical Adventures to anyone looking to do some exploring and adventuring in Slovenia.

Mitja is an incredibly experienced climber that gave us great confidence in climbing a challenging peak for me and my brother. He was very accommodating and went over and above what's expected of him to ensure we had a memorable experience. Due to poor weather conditions he recommended we delay the start of our climb and instantly adjusted the itinerary to ensure we were not impacted whatsoever. He also took great photo shots as we were climbing the mountain!
