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.

I had an absolutely incredible experience climbing Mount Triglav, and I couldn’t have asked for a better guide! My guide was knowledgeable, patient, encouraging, and clearly very experienced in the mountains. He made the entire experience enjoyable while still making safety the priority. Reaching the summit at sunrise was truly unforgettable and easily one of the highlights of my entire trip to Slovenia. I’m so grateful I had such a great guide to share the experience with. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone wanting to climb Triglav. An amazing experience that I will never forget!

Matej was absolutely wonderful. He took care of us very well, during the trek, the hut, the meals, he evaluated very good our skills and helped us doing the summit in one day. He is very well prepared for eveything, communicative and very kind. We recommend him any time. He is just great.

My trip had to be re-scheduled due to the weather. I was very pleased with this decision, especially as it meant the company may lose the booking altogether. Communication from the team was good throughout, providing me with accurate details of arrangements, as well as the prep and equipment required for the trip. Ziga, our guide was experienced and shared his knowledge with the group as we made our way up the mountain. He managed the group well to ensure each member got the most out of the trip. Arrangements for meals and accommodation at the mountain hut were smooth, leaving us to concentrate on the ascent and descent of Triglav. Using a second guide, Franz, from the mountain hut, Ziga guided us safely to the summit, where we each achieved our personal goals. The descent was equally safe and the group was able to celebrate in the mountain hut. The trip was well-paced and adjusted as necessary, to ensure everyone stayed strong for the summit challenge. I felt completely safe at all times and really enjoyed the experience of climbing Mt Triglav. I would definitely recommend using Mitja Sorn for this trip!

Zigar was AMAZING! So kind and supportive, knowledgeable about so many different aspects of the mountain, looked after the group so well at the hut as well as on the walk. Bag him if you can 😊
