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.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
