Description

Located in the Jezersko region of Slovenia, the Dolgi Hrbet peak (2,473m) is a fantastic mountain. A highlight in the Kamnik-Savinja Alps, the Dolgi peak presents a wonderful climb that ends with some great views of the Kamnik-Savinja Alps once you reach the summit.

This trip will take place in the winter season. As a result, you will get to enjoy the trill of scaling the peak amidst snow and ice. Furthermore, this trip is actually not too difficult. Hence making it ideal for people who don’t have a lot of prior mountaineering experience.

The climb will take approximately 4 to 6 hours, along the popular German route. A portion of the Dolgi Hrbet mountain we will be climbing will consist of steep slopes. But rest assured, despite the slopes looking difficult, I will see to it that you are properly and safely guided. Also, on these slopes, you will get to use 2 ice axes, which, if you haven’t done so before, is a lot of fun, and makes for a great photo!

Since this trip can be strenuous at points, it is important that participants are in good physical conditions. Also, because this is a winter climb, attention will be paid to the weather conditions. But if they are agreeable, there should be no issue in making our way to the summit. And once there you will get some spectacular views of the valleys and forest below, as well as the other nearby peaks.

If you are interested in this exciting day long climb of the Dolgi Hrbet, just send me a request. I look forward to guiding you!

Would you like to enjoy another winter climb of another peak in the Kamnik-Savinja Alps?  If you do, I can also lead you on this day long climb to the summit of Jezerska Kocna.

Mountain Guide

I’m a mountain guide based in Bled, Slovenia. Climbing and alpinism are a big part of my life and I feel like mountains are my second home.

I was introduced to the mountains by my father, a mountain rescuer and a romantic alpinist. He made sure that I don’t see the mountains only as a sports playground but also as a place where a person can enjoy and get to know himself better.

Living in the heart of the Slovenian Alps gave me a chance to develop all disciplines of alpinism: hard rock climbing and wild ridges in the summer, sketchy mixed climbing and ski touring in the winter. I am fortunate that climbing took me on expeditions all over the world, from Patagonia to Himalayas. Since being on the higher ground is my second home, becoming a mountain guide came naturally.

As a mountain guide I want to share my passion for mountains in a respectful and friendly way. What drives me is bringing the beauty of higher mountains and alpinism closer to people who want to enjoy higher peaks but need safe guiding.

Martin is a complete professional on and off the mountain. Always willing to share insights and knowledge about alpinism and climbing and made me feel comfortable and safe at all times. Whenever I had questions before the climb he would always be quick to answer with all the relevant information. The summit attempt of the Matterhorn was a success and Martin brought joy, knowledge and energy throughout the entire process.

Martin Zumer is an incredibly skilled climber who successfully guided me to the top of the Matterhorn. I felt safe with him for the entire trip, and I developed confidence in my own personal climbing abilities with his guidance. It was a lot of fun to climb with him and learn from him, and I would highly recommend him as a guide any day.
