Description

Would you like to feel more confident in your freeride skiing or snowboarding experiences? Then join me for an avalanche safety workshop at the Vogel Ski Resort!

Located an hour away from Ljubljana, the Vogel is one of the most famous ski resorts in  Slovenia. It stands above the Bohinj Valley, next to Lake Bohinj, and its nearest city is Bled. Opened in 1964, this area offers more than 30kms of pistes, and a huge terrain for powder descents.

This day course is ideal for snowboarders and backcountry skiers. We will focus on avalanche training.  The Vogel Resort offers a multi-burial simulation polygon that is perfect to understand the real dynamics of avalanches. We will work on: planning a freeride skiing or snowboarding trip, the necessary equipment and its usage, how to recognize snow conditions, and safety protocols. The most important thing is that you will be able to test what you have learned!

Keep in mind that for this course you will need to be at an intermediate or advanced level. I strongly recommend it for anyone who wants to take their skiing and snowboarding to the next level and plan more challenging adventures!

So book your place now and I will teach you what I know on this avalanche safety workshop in the Slovenian Vogel Ski Resort!

I also offer freeride skiing and snowboarding trips in this same area. Check them out.

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

Really great trip and Mitja is a top guide. Went in early September and had great conditions and was also my first via ferrata and felt very confident doing it, althought the via ferrata part to the summit requires a bit of athleticism and a head for heights. Highly recommend.

Ian

Cveto was not only an excellent guide, he was a great guy and we really enjoyed a couple of days on Triglav in his company. We laughed a lot and have great memories from our trip. He was also super accommodating when some of our baggage didn’t arrive and we wanted to change days to allow us to get the bags before the climb. We had a great time and I’d highly recommend Cveto and Mitja if you’re looking for an adventure on Triglav

Climbing Triglav was a very special experience for me, as it was my first time climbing a mountain like this in Europe. I was a little nervous at first, but from the moment I got in touch with Mitja, the lead guide, he made me feel confident, safe, and reassured that I would be able to make it all the way to the summit. Before the climb, Mitja was always very attentive and took the time to answer every question and concern I had. During the days of the Triglav ascent, I spent more time with Žiga, but Mitja was still always checking in and making sure I was doing well. His experience really shows, and he gave me great advice that was incredibly valuable to me. I truly appreciate his support and guidance. Žiga was also an amazing guide. He was very kind, patient, and attentive throughout the climb. He gave me so much helpful advice, and I always felt safe, supported, and well taken care of with him. I highly recommend Mitja and Žiga for your next adventure! I promise you will be in the best hands. They are both experienced, professional, and genuinely caring guides who made this experience even more memorable for me. The agency was also very well organized, which made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable from beginning to end. Thank you, Mitja and Žiga, for helping me reach the summit of Triglav and for making my first mountain experience in Europe such an unforgettable one!
