Description

If you have ever wanted to roam around a real-life Winter Wonderland full of peaceful, snowy alpine landscapes, then join me on this enjoyable half-day snowshoe around the sublime region of Bled, Slovenia.

The region is home to the stunningly beautiful and world-famous Lake Bled, and it is very easy to access, being a mere 35km from Ljubljana International Airport.

This trip can take place every day from December to March.

After picking you up either at an agency or at your accommodation in Bled, we drive for just 30 minutes to the starting point of the activity, where safety and technical instructions will be dispensed.

For the next few hours, we will take in the splendour of this magical region, moving our way through the hushed and near-noiseless alpine countryside, with only the muffled sounds of your snowshoes punctuating the tranquility and serenity of the scenery.

We are very flexible with how the day goes, so those who are after a more leisurely pace will have the freedom to amble around the perfect landscape of trees and forestry, breathing in the fresh air and relaxing to your hearts content.

For those who are after something more adrenaline-filled, there are plenty of areas which we can take you to so the heart will be pumping and the exercise more strenuous if you like.

After a few hours of snowshoeing around terrain which I am sure you will never forget, we finish up and drop you back off to the meeting point, hopefully content and keen to visit this stunning place again!

Experience this snowy and irresistible fairy tale for yourself – book now so you don’t miss out!

I also provide a 1+ day ski tour around the Julian Alps, not far from Bled – click here for more information.

Mountain Guide

I’m a certified IFMGA mountain guide and canyoning guide living in the small and famous town of Bled, in Slovenia.

I started rock climbing at the age of 5. From that time on, the mountains became my playground. During my childhood, I took part in many rock climbing competitions. When I was 12, my twin brother and I did our first multi-pitch climb on a 350 m wall.

By the age of 16, I started competing in ice climbing world cups and later on skydiving junior world cups. In fact, in 2008 I became the world champion at the UIAA Ice Climbing Overall Ranking in speed ice climbing.

I climbed in many different countries like Peru, South Korea, Switzerland, France and Italy. However, Slovenia is the place I like the most.

Among other significant achievements, I did the first winter ascent (from the bottom of the wall) in Sphinx, the most difficult route in the mythical North Face of Mt Triglav. Besides, I got the first place for males at the IFMGA International mountain guide climbing championship in 2017.

I like sharing moments with people, especially in mountains. Feel free to join me in the highest mountains, steepest walls and many other Alpine wonders. I’m flexible, so we can also research places in other countries worldwide. Deep canyons, emerald rivers, beautiful mountains, great people, a good laugh, you name it.

I look forward to meeting you!

We only had a small time in Bled and wanted a half day snow shoe tour. The company were very accommodating and were able to offer a shorter tour for us based around our needs. Very easy to book and communicate about where to meet etc. Our tour guide was great, very friendly and welcoming. He took the tour at our pace and we enjoyed the hike. Would highly recommend 👍🏽
