Prepare yourself for a 5-day adventure in one of the less-traveled spots of the European Alps: the Logarska Valley.
In the north of Slovenia, very close to the border with Austria, lies this beautiful alpine valley surrounded by the Kamnik-Savinja Alps.
This time, I propose a hiking traverse exploring different mountain trails in a wonderful natural scenery. The beautiful Savinja River, impressive gorges and snowy peaks will be part of the landscape.
Besides, we'll ascend some peaks like Ojstrica (2350 m), Turska Gora (2251 m) and Mrzla Gora (2203 m).
But it won't be all about hiking. We'll also practice some rock climbing on easy routes. Don't worry if you've never climbed before: I'll teach you the basics and you'll be able to enjoy it and feel safe!
However, it's important that you have some hiking experience in the mountains. We'll be hiking around 5 hours per day.
Below this description you'll find a complete itinerary for this trip.

I am a Slovenian IFMGA mountain guide with the ZGVS.
It was when I was 12 years old that I first climbed a mountain myself and by the age of 15 I had started rock climbing.
Since then, my ascents count up to around 1000, starting from Mont Blanc in the seventies and Triglav north face to Cho Oyu, and all over South America including 18 of the 6000m+ peaks including a first ascent on south face of Aconcagua.
I have climbed and travelled all over the world, Shivlinga, K2, Mt Everest, Manaslu, Shishi Panama, El Cap and sport climbing in Kalymnos and Cuba.
Skiing powder in great conditions and rock climbing under the sun are my motto!
Contact me if you'd like to have fun safely in the mountains with me! If I am unavailable then my trusted friend guides, Franc and Milan, can take care of you!
Stay up-to-date on the best adventures.
