Description
Come with me for a 3-day mountaineering and via ferrata course in Slovenia, exploring some of the best spots in the Logarska Valley.
This course is oriented to those with previous mountain climbing experience. It’s a great opportunity to hone your skills, learning about belaying, equipment and climbing movements.
The Logarska Valley, in the north of Slovenia, will be our playground during these days. Creeks, rivers, hidden gorges, alpine plateaus and the snowy peaks of the Kamnik-Savinja Alps will be part of the landscape.
In fact, you’ll get the chance of exploring a less-traveled area of the European Alps.
During 3 days, we’ll take different via ferrata routes to the top of several 2000 m peaks.
Please, let me know if you’d like to join this course. It will be a memorable and challenging experience!

About the guide
Franc
Mountain Guide
I am an IFMGA Mountain guide and a member of the Mountain Rescue Association of Slovenia for over 30 years.
My fascination in mountaineering started when I was 16 years old. Despite what I am now, when I was 16 I had all the normal emotions like fear, clumsiness, indecisiveness, and excitement… but I also had a strong desire to overcome these emotions and strived to challenge myself.
My persistence in overcoming these obstacles eventually took me to the roof of the world - Mount Everest - and some other 8000m+ peaks followed soon after.
I recognize that my achievements were due to my true love and passion for the mountains, for my friends and a sense of responsibility towards other people.
I want to share with you my experience and the beauty of the life path I have taken through the mountains.
When I am unavailable my trusted friend guides, Milan and Danilo, can take care of you too.

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.
