Description

Standing tall in the Kamnik-Savinja Alps of Slovenia, Jezerska Kocna (2,540m) is a magnificent peak. And for an entire day, you’re going to have the chance to climb to its summit while breathing in the crisp air of winter.

Despite the winter conditions, the route we will be taking is actually not that difficult. And the summit of Jezerska Kocna is a fantastic conclusion to the climb because the panoramic views are absolutely stunning.

We will be climbing along the north-west ridge of the mountain. And due to the winter conditions, the climb, which usually takes approximately 5 hours, will actually take longer than it otherwise would during the summer. However, as a result of the extended time, you will have more chances to enjoy the expanding views as we get higher and higher. Thus giving you a constantly growing experience that culminates with the Jezerska Kocna’s wonderful summit.

Mountain climbing in the winter is a fantastic experience. It feels like you are doing something nature itself is saying you shouldn’t. But when you reach the summit of whichever mountain you are scaling, you realise those warnings are nothing more than tests. And on this full day trip, I would like to help you conquer that test and gaze at the scenery from the Jezerska Kocna summit.

Participants on this trip should be in good enough physical condition to handle the rigours of the ascent. Also, some previous mountaineering experience, particularly in winter, is advantageous.

So if you would like to join me to the top of Jezerska Kocna, just send me a request. I look forward to guiding you.

I can also lead you on a similar full day winter climb to the top of Skrlatica in the Julian Alps on this trip.

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.
