The Soca valley is full of breathtaking, gorgeous landscape, some of the best you will ever see in Slovenia. And while it is a very popular destination in the summer months, where visitors can do everything from canyoning to sky diving, it becomes a completely different world in the winter. Thus why I believe this 1 day ski touring adventure is the perfect trip for anybody looking to explore this amazing area from a different perspective.
This trip is very unique when compared to other ski touring trips because there are several different options as to where we can go. All of the options involve various combinations of the pearls of the area. Those combinations include Krn and Krncica, Planina Razor and its surroundings, and finally Planina Razor and Krn. We will make our choice based on the snow and weather conditions. However, regardless of where we decide on going, you will get to enjoy some truly incredible descents.
Much of the ski touring you will get to enjoy in the Soca valley will take place above the beautiful Soca river. As a result, you not only get to enjoy great views of the natural landscape of the valley, and the nearby peaks of the Julian Alps, but also of this splendid flowing river.
The Soca valley is a marvellous place to visit at any point of the year. And on this full day ski touring trip, I would like to show you how amazing it is during the winter. So if you want to enjoy some great descents in a variety of great spots, just send me a request. I would be happy to guide you.
I can also take you for a day of ski touring in the Kanin mountains as well.

Mountain Guide
I'm an IFMGA mountain guide and also a mechanical engineer based in Celje, Slovenia. Over the past years, I’ve been on more than 700 alpine trips in the Western Alps, the Dolomites, Peru, Turkey and Greece. My favorite activities are climbing and skiing.
In Peru, for example, I made a descent from the southern saddle of Vallunaraju (5696 m). Another challenging downhill on skis that I did was in the northern wall of Bavškega Grintavca and the massif Kanin.
In addition to mountaineering, I enjoy practicing other sports like rock climbing, biking, whitewater kayaking and Pilates. I think these activities are a great source of spiritual and personal growth.
I also love spending time with my family: my wife, daughter and our dog.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
