I first got into the mountains through snowboarding, first as a snowboard instructor, and since then I have never looked back for 25 years!

I’m an IFMGA mountain guide born and raised in Slovenia, but I have enjoyed the mountains all over the world in different disciplines, from riding the famously steep terrains on split board in Chamonix to making the first ascent in the Himalayas.

My favourites are big wall climbing and hiking on solitary peaks away from the crowds, and there are good places for it in the whole of Julian Alps and Kamnik Alps. The Italian side of the Julian Alps also is a gold mine of good rocks and fantastic ridges.

Join me to explore the treasures of Southern Europe let it be in rock climbing, alpine climbing or ski (snowboard) touring!

**Mount Triglav (2864m)** is the highest mountain in **Slovenia** and a very popular ascent in the country. I invite you to climb this famous peak, via the popular Krma Valley route, the longest but easiest way to the summit. 

We will climb and descend about 2000 meters in two days.  On the first day, we will go up 1500m until we reach Triglavski Dom (2515m), where we will stay for the night. It will be an ascent of about 5 to 7 hours.

On the second day, starting from the hut we will climb to the summit of Mount Triglav. It is an ascent of 3 to 5 hours. There is a via ferrata -a trail equipped with pitons and wires- from the Triglavski dom to the top of the mountain.

This is  not a technically difficult climb. There are just two or three spots where the route is exposed, but apart from that, it is a relatively easy climb. Then, once we reach the summit of Mount Triglav, it is possible to descend via the Planika Hut. It will take us about 4 more hours to go down to the valley.

**At the heart of the Julian Alps, the wild and hard to reach Martuljek group offers many opportunities for mountaineers and climbers.**

This is an ideal place for those seeking wild pristine mountains, away from the crowds of the most popular mountain peaks.

In fact, Martuljek is the most inaccessible group of the Julian Alps. The peaks on this wild corner of the Alps have amazing steep walls and no marked paths leading to any of them.

##### My favorite routes on the Martuljek group:

**Route nameHighlightsPrice per person (EUR) 12 Široka peč**The queen of Martuljek. It has a jagged ridge that resembles an enchanted fortress. It’s one of the hardest mountains to reach in the Julian Alps.

_1700 m of ascent, 10-12 hours, climbing up to UIAA III+_

310200**Mala Martuljška Ponca**A nice round tour with a visit to both cirques Pod srcem and Za Akom.

_1750 m of ascent, 9-11 hours, climbing up to UIAA II on the summit ridge._

300170**Mali Oltar – Bučer-Kristan Route**An enjoyable climbing in good rock leading to a pointy summit. A nice route with a rugged descent.

_1700 m of ascent, 400 m UIAA IV route included. 9-12 hours._

340210**Špik – Direct Route**This is a route of historical importance that used to be one of the hardest climbs of the Alps. It was climbed in 1926 by a Slovenian female alpinist, Mira Marko Debelakova.

_900 m route, UIAA V+._

460–**Rigljica – Rušica Traverse**A steep and varied ridge that offers magnificent views of Martuljek group.

_1300 m of ascent, UIAA III, 9-12 hours._

**Please, contact me if you want to join me for one or several climbs in the Martuljek group. I can help you choose the best option for you and make sure you have an unforgettable experience!**

**Rock climbing in Paklenica offers more than 450 routes for all levels. Join me for a unique adventure!**

In this amazing destination of the Croatian coast you can find from **single pitch climbing routes** (near the parking spots) to **350 m high multi-pitch climbs** in the biggest and most famous wall of the area called **Aniča Kuk.** All of them, on excellent limestone.

There are several routes of all difficulty levels so it is suitable for everyone, from absolute beginners to more experience climbers.

We can organize a 2 to 4 days climbing trip and I can help you choose the best climbing routes for you according to your experience and wishes.

**If you are a beginner you’ll receive a basic training on your climbing skills** (anchors, knots, belay, rappelling…) as well as your climbing technique so that we can move safe during a climb.  Within the next few days, we’ll climb multi-pitch routes suitable for your experience and wishes.

Here are some of the routes I recommend:

##### **Intermediate climbs for max 4 people**

*   **Severno rebro:** 170 m, 4b
    
*   **Danaja:** 100 m 5b
    
*   **Nosorog:** 150 m 4b
    

You don’t need previous experience to climb these routes.

##### **Sustained climbs for max 2 people**

*   **Brid za veliki čekić route:** 280 m 5 b. A beautiful introduction to Paklenica big wall climbing.
    
*   **Mosaraški route:** 350 m 5 c. The first part of the famous Paklenica trilogy in Aniča Kuk.
    
*   **Kamasutra route:** 150 m 5 b. Interesting route on grooves and cracks.
    

Some previous experience is required.

This incredible playground for climbers is inside **Paklenica National Park.** Because of that, you can mix things up during your trip there by adding activities like hiking, mountain biking or swimming in the **Adriatic sea.**

I really like travelling to Paklenica during Autumn and Spring. I also think it’s a **great holiday destination** for a **family trip.**

**Please, contact me if you want to go rock climbing in Paklenica. I will be happy to be your guide there and help you find the best options for you!**

Samo, an IFMGA mountain guide, takes you to some of the best routes for rock climbing in Paklenica, a rocky paradise in the Croatian Coast.
