FAQs: Splitboarding in Slovenia
What should I know about Splitboarding Slovenia?
In spite of its small size – at just over 20,200 square kilometers, Slovenia is the 45th smallest in the world – Slovenia boasts more than a dozen mountain peaks reaching 2,000 meters in elevation and plenty of other great splitboarding spots.
Away from its highest peak, Mount Triglav, there are plenty of other great splitboarding spots as well. Among the favourites are Škrlatica (2,740 m), Mangart (2,679 m), Jalovec (2,645 m), Razor (2,601 m), Kanjavec (2,568 m), Prisojnik (2,546 m), Rjavina (2,532 m), Prestreljenik (2,499 m), Špik (2,472 m), Tosc (2,275 m) and Krn (2,244 m). Each of these mountain pekas offer plenty of great powder down which to board as well as great views on the way up and from the top.
Sitting on the border between Italy and Slovenia, High Mount Kanin (2,582 m) is another great splitboarding destination. Starting from either the ITalian or Slovenian side, summit the peak before racing back down on the combined board.

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.

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

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
