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!

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.
Stay up-to-date on the best adventures.
