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.

Mitja was a brilliant help :)

Mitja was a tremendous guide. Superb pacing, great knowledge and calming leader!

Mitja was a terrific guide and kept us entertained throughout the climb. We also had Janus, and though he was much quieter, he was very knowledgeable and certainly qualified in First Aid and Mountain Emergencies (thankfully non of that was needed!). All in all, a really great experience and one we'll talk about for many years.

Tough trip physically but what an amazing journey. Our guide Mitja got in touch so I could join an existing group otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to do the climb and I’m so glad he did. For what looks quite extreme it felt completely safe throughout with our two guides Mitja and Matej planning around the conditions and leading us expertly. Would recommend to anyone comfortable with long hikes and heights.
Stay up-to-date on the best adventures.
