Mangart Via Ferrata Ascent through Via Italiana and Slovenska Routes

Discover Mangart via Two Stunning Routes: Via Italiana and Slovenska Pot

This unforgettable guided ascent takes you to the summit of Mangart (2678 m) via two different secured climbing routes, each offering a unique challenge and breathtaking alpine views.

Via Italiana – For the Experienced Adventurer

Via Italiana is the more demanding of the two, rated as a C-level via ferrata. The route stretches 550 meters in length and climbs 450 vertical meters. It requires good physical condition and previous climbing experience. The route is steep and exposed, but the quality of the rock and panoramic views make it an exhilarating experience.

Slovenska Pot – An Accessible Introduction to Ferratas

For those newer to the world of rock climbing, the Slovenska Pot (Slovenian Route) offers an easier but still impressive challenge. Rated at B difficulty, this 450-meter-long route gains 350 meters of elevation and is ideal for those still building their confidence on secured paths.

Tour Itinerary:

We begin the tour from below the Mangart saddle (2055 m), which is accessible by car. From there, we descend toward the Nogara bivouac (1800 m) to reach the starting point of the Via Italiana. With the aid of fixed cables and iron steps, we ascend the dramatic wall back to the saddle, enjoying spectacular views along the way.

After reaching the saddle again, we continue our climb toward the summit of Mangart via the Slovenska Pot, which follows a striking ravine all the way to the peak. Alternatively, climbers may opt to reach the summit using the easier upper section of the Via Italiana.

Route Options for Guided Ascents

You can choose from several combinations for your ascent:

• Full ascent via Via Italiana (from below the saddle to the summit)
• Via Italiana to the saddle + Slovenska Pot to the summit
• Only the Slovenska Pot from the saddle to the summit
• Just the lower Via Italiana up to the saddle

Join us for an exciting day in the skies above Slovenia, where every step offers a new thrill and every view tells a story. Your adventure on Mangart awaits!
