On this Mount Coglians climb, we will have the chance to experience the highest mountain in the Carnic Alps.
The tour begins from Mojstrana from where you will be transferred to the trail's starting point. The ascent will take place on the south side passing the Marinelli hut and from there, to the top. On the way, we will begin by following a mule track and then across pastures that are covered in blueberries in the Autumn. Then, we will continue on to Marinelli hut. This first stretch will take us around two and a half hours. From then on, the scenery will change dramatically, the Coglians open up on the ridge path first, and then onto some steep scree. On the last part of the ascent, we will face a rock section and finally, on top, we will enjoy a rewarding view of the surrounding mountains, in good weather, this includes Triglav, Ankogel, Marmolada, and everything nearby.
Mount Coglians forms a stunning mountain backdrop between Plöckenpass in the east and the Volayer Pass in the west. During World War I, it was used as an observation post by the Italians, and the fort can be appreciated on the summit, as well as the remains of the military mule track.
The highest point of the mountain is at an altitude of 2782 m. We will start climbing it from Plöckenpass (1357m) and experience an altitude gain of 1500m. In total, it will take us around 10 hours to climb it. Although this is not a technical climb, we will follow a challenging, marked trail. Therefore, a good fitness level is a must! If you have any doubts about your preparation and requirements, then please let us know.

I started with hiking first as a student and during the years with mountaineering, climbing, ski touring and more.
Now I live in the most beautiful village under our highest mountain of Triglav in Julian Alps and I started guiding long time ago first in Slovenian mountains and since I finished UIMLA course I guide abroad too.
We are guiding mostly in Julian Alps but also in Karawanks in Austrian Alps, in Croatia, and in Italy.
I prefer to guide smaller groups so that guests feel really comfortable in the mountains.
Please get in touch with me if you wish to be guided on any of our trips in the mountains. If I'm busy I will make sure that another great guide will guide you.

I was looking for a local guide for a hike I was planning and came across Explore-Share. They seemed to have good reviews and so decided to give them a try. The experience was very positive and completely happy with their service. I will be using them again for next trip.

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.
Stay up-to-date on the best adventures.
