Description

An avalanche safety training is a must for all freeriders, backcountry skiers or mountaineers venturing into avalanche-prone terrain. I invite you to join me on this 1-day avalanche safety workshop in Kanin-Sella Nevea to get the knowledge and techniques you need for a safe experience in the mountains.

The Kanin-Sella Nevea ski resort is very close to the small town of Bovec. It is one of the snowiest regions in Europe, about an hour away from Ljubljana, the capital of the country.

An avalanche safety course is the basis for any adventure in the back country. It is a great way to increase your safety, freedom and enjoyment in the mountains. The most important thing to learn when you find yourself in avalanche terrain is snow and terrain recognition.

We’ll dedicate the first part of the course to the following theoretical content:

Planning a ski trip
Snow conditions
Necessary equipment
Terrain reading
Safety protocols

The rest of the day will take place outdoors and you will put what you have learned in practice. We will do snow evaluation and then we will search using transceivers, shovel and probe. This training is a grea

Mountain Guide

I am a IFMGA certified mountain guide, ski instructor, and sports teacher.

I believe guides do their best job when they guide in the mountains they are most familiar with. That is one of the biggest reasons why I specialize in guiding in Slovenia. I climb Triglav more than 25 times per year, which means I have climbed the most famous peak in my country around 400 times.

If you want to climb or ski in the Slovenian mountains, I am the right choice. I guide via ferrata, rock climbing, snow climbing, ice climbing, hikes, freeride skiing, and ski touring. Most of my summer work involves climbing Triglav, and most of my winter work involves Triglav and ski touring around it.

Slovenia offers good options for all of these activities, so you are welcome to take a look at my trips and find something for yourself. If you don't find anything, let me know, and I will see if I can help you!

I speak English. Ich spreche auch ein bisschen Deutsch. Parlo anche un po' di Italiano e hablo también un poco de Español.

If I am not available to guide you, one of the super experienced guides in my team will be your guide.

What people are saying about -Mitja

Aran

Mitja was fantastic for our whole week. Very knowledgeable about the area, bringing us to the locations with the best conditions and surpassing our expectations every day. Also very flexible and understanding throughout the week. Would highly recommend

Leanne

Mitja was a guide I would want to join me on any expedition. Very skilled and knew how much he could push me to get to the top. I did a lot of huffing and puffing whilst he stood there waiting for me to catch my breath but I never felt pressured or concerned with anything at any time. What an amazing two days climbing Triglav in the winter. Nobody there and an experience I will never forget. I looked at the price for this and thought it was steep but in retrospect it was worth every penny. Thanks Mitja, had an amazing time and birthday. G+L.

Anatolii

The trip is well organised and Mitja is extremely experienced and professional guide. I’ve learned a lot from him, and due to his efforts and local knowledge of the mountain we could adjust our original plan and avoid bad weather. Due to his efforts our trip will become memorable.

Hollon

Mitja was awesome. I wouldn’t hesitate to use his services again as he is very knowledgeable and capable. He went above and beyond to make the trip as enjoyable as possible and even to help with planning the rest of the vacation around the country. Very personable and friendly. Thank you Mitja for the incredible experience of summiting Mt Triglav.
