Mountaineering

He who climbs the highest mountains,
laughs at all tragedies, real or imagined.
Friedrich Nietzsche

MOUNTAINEERING IN THE SOČA VALLEY

Mountaineering and alpinism are a very special experience in the Soča Valley. The walls in the Triglav National Park are a wonderful scenery for everyone, but we recommend only experienced people to face them properly.

In the Soča valley, the northern littoral walls invite you. One of these that leaves the biggest impression is certainly the Loška wall, which stretches 7 km wide and represents one of the largest ridges in the Slovenian mountains.

Of course, Bovec, Kobarid and Tolmin, surrounded by the peaks of the Julian Alps, offer an excellent starting point for mountaineering adventures of varying difficulty.

I am Igor Kremser, a mountain guide with an international IFMGA license, born in 1987. Throughout my mountaineering career, I have participated in expeditions to the Andes, Himalayas and China. We were also nominated for a golden ice ax with our fellow climbers for the climb to the Chinese peak of Xulian Feng.

WHY MOUNTAINEERING?

People go to the highlands for a variety of reasons. Some want to test themselves and overcome the challenge offered by a high mountain or a difficult climb. Others want to enjoy the stunning beauty and natural wonders that the highlands have to offer. Still others want to get away from everyday life and indulge in the silence and peace offered by unspoilt nature.

In addition, visiting the highlands can also help improve physical and mental health. Walking in the highlands is a very demanding physical activity that strengthens the heart, muscles and bones. At the same time, it also encourages thinking and relaxation, which has a positive effect on mental health.

The Soča Valley is the land of the highest and most powerful peaks of the Julian Alps. Marked mountain trails climb from the valley into wild mountain corners, including the trail to Triglav (2,864 m), the highest Slovenian peak.

The high mountain world of the Julian Alps, the unspoilt nature of the Triglav National Park and the refreshing proximity of the Soča River make the Soča Valley one of the most beautiful hiking destinations.
