Triglav – North face Slovenian route
Through the great north face of Triglav, the Slovenian Route climbs in a classic line into the heart of the Julian Alps.
2,864 m · Difficulty III+ (UIAA) · 1 day · Julian Alps
At 2,864 metres, Triglav is the highest summit in the Julian Alps and, as the highest mountain in Slovenia, also one of the Seven Summits of the Alps. Its distinctive shape makes it visible from more than 100 kilometres away.
Its imposing north face, which towers above the Vrata Valley, is 1,500 metres high and more than 3 kilometres wide. This makes it the longest face in the Eastern Alps after the east face of the Watzmann. The mountain has a special significance for Slovenia and is one of the country's national symbols. It appears both on the national flag and on Slovenia's 50-cent coins.

PROGRAMME
Day 1: Through the north face
We meet early in the morning at the Aljažev dom hut at the end of the Vrata Valley. After a short equipment check, we set off towards the impressive north face of Triglav. Our route, the Slovenian Route, leads through the left-hand and, at 800 metres, somewhat lower part of this mighty rock bastion. Following a cleverly chosen line that requires a very good sense of orientation and alpine experience, we climb up through the face. The difficulties reach grade III+. After many hours of climbing, the face spits us out onto the karst plateaus east of the summit. We continue to the Triglavski Dom and take the via ferrata up the last 300 vertical metres to the summit. For the descent, we choose the Pragerweg.
Total time: | ↑ 1,850 m | ↓ 1,850 m | Difficulty: III+ (UIAA)
Any changes to the programme that may become necessary for various reasons (weather, conditions, availability of accommodation, etc.) are always made in consultation with the participants.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQs)
Who is the Slovenian Route on Triglav suitable for?
The tour is suitable for sure-footed alpine climbers with good stamina and solid climbing experience in alpine terrain. If you feel at home on a big north face and enjoy long days on rock, Triglav is just right for you.
How does the descent from the summit work?
After climbing the face, we continue to the Triglavski Dom and over the summit. The descent follows the Pragerweg back down into the Vrata Valley. This turns the tour into a long, complete traverse with plenty of variety.
What should I bring for the tour?
Above all, you need suitable mountain boots and weatherproof clothing. The exact packing list comes with the confirmation email. Technical equipment can be rented from Südtirolalpin for a small wear-and-tear fee.
