3-day Slovenian ridge traverse towards Triglav

This is one of the longest, most beautiful and enjoyable Slovenian ridge traverse. I guide it every year. Would you like to join me this time?

For 3 days, we’ll be traversing some of the most beautiful and remote ridges in the Julian Alps. I like to call this trip Slovenian ‘Peuterey’ ridge traverse, like the famous (and longest) ridge climb in the Alps.

First, following the hunters trail, we’ll climb Mt Goličica (2108 m), which is a feat in its own. Once at the top, we’ll take the exposed and steep ridge line over the slopes and walk up and down. On the way, we’ll be exploring the changing paths of wild animals and admiring the beautiful sights.

Mostly, we’ll be facing technical difficulties up to UIAA grade V. However, we can also make it even harder by taking the direct route (UIAA VI+).

We’ll continue traversing the ridge to Mt Planja, enjoying breathtaking views. Then, we can descend either towards Kriški podi Hut, the Zadnjica Valley and Trenta through a nice and easy scenic route, or towards Mlinarica Valley, where we’ll climb an interesting via ferrata in descent.

If you wish, we can extend this traverse to the top of Mount Triglav. For that, we’ll climb Mt Bovski Gamsovec and descend towards Luknja pass. This is one of the most fascinating ridge ascents to the top of the highest peak in the Julian Alps, rising at 2864 m.

Do you want to be part of a great adventure in the Julian Alps? Then join me for this Slovenian ridge traverse, exploring some lesser-known parts of these peaks.

In case you are looking for a less demanding or shorter activity in Slovenia, climbing via ferrata Silva-Korena is an interesting option.
