Description
Climbing Kranjska Gora, one of the oldest secured routes in the Julian Alps is an adventure you sure don't want to miss!
Starting from Vršič Pass at an altitude of 1611m (5,285 feet)– the highest mountain pass in Slovenia – this classic via ferrata leads to the breathtaking summit of Mala Mojstrovka at 2332m (7,650 feet)!
On this half-day climb, we start the trail by crossing the Robičje saddle, heading to the northern slopes of Mala Mojstrovka. From there, we follow a distinctive ledge where the lower section of the route is well protected with steel cables and pegs. Higher up, the path opens onto a steeper wall before leading across a series of natural terraces that bring you to the ridge and onto the top of Nad Šitom Glava
The final pyramid of Mala Mojstrovka is only partially secured, offering an exciting stretch of ridge climbing that brings you to the summit. The descent follows a gravel path south toward the Vratca Saddle (1985 m), and from there, we return to the Vršič road via scree slopes.

Mountain Guide
I am an IFMGA mountain guide born in 1980 in Mojstrana, a Slovenian village close to Mount Triglav, the highest mountain in the country at 2864 m.
From an early age, my parents took me to the mountains during summer and winter. At that time, my father was part of a mountain rescue team in my hometown and was also going on expeditions to the Himalaya and the Andes, so he became a big inspiration for me. We went climbing, hiking, sport climbing and ski touring together. His enthusiasm truly influenced me.
I went to Alpine school, then Mountain rescue team, I did the Alpinist exam and I became an Alpinist instructor. After that, I also studied to be a professor of Sport. Several years later, I decided to begin my mountain guide education and to become an IFMGA/UIAGM certified mountain guide.

Our guide Stres Blaz was fantastic. He was very knowledgable about the mountain and was a strong guide that meant we could keep a good pace even with congestion on the mountain. I also had a small injury and he was very quick to support. Thank you for everything!
