ABOUT THE TOUR
Through the great north face of Triglav, the Slovene Route climbs in a classic line into the heart of the Julian Alps.
2,864 m · Difficulty III+ (UIAA) · 1 day · Julian Alps
Triglav, at 2,864 metres, is the highest summit in the Julian Alps and, as the highest mountain in Slovenia, is 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, rising above the Vrata Valley, has a wall height of 1,500 metres and is over 3 kilometres wide. This makes it the longest face in the Eastern Alps after the Watzmann East Face. The mountain holds 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.

PROGRAM
Day 1: Through the north face
We meet early in the morning at Aljažev dom 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 Slovene Route, leads through the left-hand and, at 800 metres, slightly lower section of this immense rock bastion. Following a skilfully chosen line that demands a very good sense of route-finding and alpine experience, we climb 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 then via the via ferrata the final 300 vertical metres to the summit. For the descent, we take the Pragerweg.
Total time: | ↑ 1,850 m | ↓ 1,850 m | Difficulty: III+ (UIAA)
Any changes to the program that may be necessary for various reasons (weather, conditions, accommodation booking situation, etc.) will always be made in consultation with the participants.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS - (FAQs)
Who is the Slovene Route on Triglav suitable for?
This tour is suitable for sure-footed and enduring alpine climbers with solid climbing experience in alpine terrain. If you feel comfortable in a large north face and enjoy long days on rock, Triglav is exactly the right place for you.
How does the descent from the summit work?
After climbing through the face, the route continues to the Triglavski Dom and over the summit. The descent follows the Pragerweg back into the Vrata Valley. This makes the tour a long, complete traverse with plenty of variety.
What should I bring for the tour?
Most important are suitable mountain boots and weatherproof clothing. The detailed packing list will be sent with the confirmation email. Technical equipment can be rented from Südtirolalpin for a small wear-and-tear fee.
