Sport Climbing around Lake Bled in Slovenia

This half-day rock climbing adventure is open to everyone who would like to try rock climbing, both young and old. More experienced climbers can also enjoy a full-day experience upon request.

We will usually climb 3 to 4 routes graded 3~7a, and as high as 25 ~ 30 meters. We can pick you up at your accommodable or at the parking area near the crag if you’re arriving in your own vehicle. From there, we will spend around 3 hours climbing.

I am a certified local, Slovenian guide from Bled and have extensive guiding experience. Although I am currently based in Japan, in the summer, I travel to my homeland and love to share my passion and experience for outdoor adventures with climbers of all levels.

During the tour we will:

-Challenge your climbing skills on gorgeous natural rock at a fantastic landscape location, above the village of Bohinjska Bela.

-Discover an amazing crag where the impressive 25-meter-high Iglica Waterfall is located, or choose from 7 more crags in the area.

-Learn techniques to climb “top rope”, or lead, abseil, rope maneuvers, and more if you have previous experience.

-Enjoy the instruction and safety of an experienced guide who has been climbing all of his life.

You will also have the chance to experience some adrenaline as you will climb routes on a 25m high cliff, and these routes are suitable for everyone! Plus, all the equipment needed (shoes, harness, helmet) will be provided and is already included in the price of the activity.

Before we begin to climb, we will enjoy a short 5-minute hike to the crag. Then, once there, we will prepare the safety equipment and fix the ropes. You will wear a harness and helmet and we will carry out a safety check first. We will choose the route (3a and up) depending on your experience and fitness level. You’ll climb protected from the ground on a rope fixed to a rock wall high above you. We'll also learn belaying techniques to protect the climbers in your group.

What if there is bad weather?

In case of bad weather, there is always a plan B, which can include climbing on overhanging cliffs protected from the rain or rescheduling the trip for another day. Usually, we don’t expect crowds at the climbing areas, as there are many amazing spots all the way to the natural rock cliffs near Lake Bohinj. Every climbing area is suitable for beginners to advanced climbers.
