Description

Join us on a journey designed for bold spirits who crave the thrill of conquering the legendary peak of Triglav, looking over the**** Julian Alps at an impressive elevation of 2864 meters.

For Slovenians, summiting Triglav is more than just a test of physical ability; it symbolizes a deep connection to the land. The daunting challenge may seem insurmountable, but those who dare to venture beyond can achieve the impossible.

With proper preparation and guidance from our experts, we are confident that those who seek excitement and vitality can attain this empowering and realistic objective.

The history of Triglav dates back to 1778 when a brave group embarked on their ascent from Bohinj. Their expedition was arduous, with numerous challenges, particularly when they confronted the formidable final ridge. Its sheer steepness made climbing seem impossible, forcing the climbers to navigate it as if riding a horse.

Over time, the ridge was altered to provide easier ascents, enabling more adventurous individuals to savor the exhilaration of reaching Triglav's peak. In 1895, Jakob Aljaž acquired a plot of land at the summit and constructed a small shelter, transforming Triglav into a national symbol and a coveted aspiration for millions of Slovenians.

Upon reaching the pinnacle of Triglav, you will be treated to a breathtaking panorama encompassing the Adriatic Sea and the magnificent peaks of the Alps.

Book your spot today and ascend this iconic peak that's a must for every adventurer's bucket list.

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.
