Description

At the heart of the Julian Alps, Mount Triglav (2864 m) rises as the highest and most emblematic peak in Slovenia. Its 1000 m high north wall is a jewel for climbers all over the world. 

In fact, you can find more than 100 routes for all levels there. This time, I propose you to climb a challenging multi-pitch route called Bavarian route.

The firsts to climb this route were two German climbers. At the time, the route was considered as the hardest in Triglav north face.

This is an 800 m route, IV+ grade in the UIAA grading system. The climb is constant and demanding. At the end of this route, you can either take Zimmer-Jahn exit (at 2200 m) or continue towards the Long German route (Kugy's shelfs) at 2500 m.

Are you ready for a multi-pitch climbing adventure in the impressive north face of Mt Triglav? Send me a request and let's go there together!

I offer many mountain programmes in this area, like a 1-day hike in Seven Triglav Lakes. Please note that you can combine this trip with any other you wish and receive a discount. Besides, you can ask about other non-mountain activities including horseback riding, mountain biking, skydiving, paragliding, kayaking, hot air ballooning and more!

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!

Alyssa

We loved our hike with Alex! She was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and just fun to be around. This hike was a highlight of our weeklong trip - thank you!

Haleyanne

The guides were both amazing . They were real teachers and patient and very knowledgeable. I felt safe the whole time. They also were photo takers which was honestly a major positive contributing factor. I want to focus on my climb and not taking pictures and they took so many and it was really wonderful.

Arshman

Incredible day :) Highly recommend ~ - My guide was thoughtful, easy-going, witty and eager to impart good climbing etiquette. We shared great conversation and had lots of fun together! A true highlight on my time whilst travelling. - The picking up/ drop off was handy

Andy

A sensational experience. I booked the Triglav winter climb as a "Bucket List" dream. It did not disappoint. I have very little experience of mount climbing but felt very safe throughout. The guides supported our groups needs and made sure we had the best time possible. The photo's they provided us of the experience were a great reminder. You need to have a reasonable level of fitness but they take care of the rest. 10/10.
