Ski Touring Holidays Slovenia

Arrive at the beautiful lake town of Bled, where you will get to know your guide and the other members of your group. Get familiar with your ski-touring base and explore the town on this chill first day.

One of the easiest 2000ers in our country, with a magnificient view of Triglav and the Bled basin. Because of its location, it offers pleasant skiing conditions either in powder or on more hard-packed snow. The tour starts in the idyllic snowy forest of Pokljuka but quickly rises above the tree line, where the panorama opens up. From there, we quickly reach the top. Depending on the conditions, the tour can be extended to the nearby peaks of Veliki Draški Vrh and Mrežce, or even ski Viševnik twice.

This tour is more suitable for the powder days when the approach to higher peaks has a high risk of avalanche or the snow there has been affected too much by the wind. We start the tour in the mountain cirque (amphitheatre-like glacial valley) of Krnica which is easily accessible from the bottom turns of the Vršič Pass road. We continue past the hut there and start our climb closer to the mighty walls of Križ and Razor. Just below the Kriška Stena, we have plenty of options available to ski back down to the valley.

In good conditions, Mala Mojstrovka is one of the best ski tours in Slovenia. The tour begins at the top of the Vršič Pass, from where we gain around 600 metres of elevation to the top. A part of the climb often needs to be done on foot (crampons and ice-axe). Mojstrovka is an excellent introduction to the high-altitude Julian Alps, because of its sawed-off west face and 360° panorama. Still, the skiing is never too steep or difficult.

This is a former ski resort under the mountain of Begunjščica in the Karavanke mountain range on the border with Austria. Nowadays, this is the centre of ski mountaineering in Slovenia. It is very popular because of its accessibility and the good snow conditions found in at least one part of the area since its terrain is oriented in all directions. Here you can find everything — from the easy tours, up to the steep couloir downhills in the north face of Begunjščica.

Mt. Jalovec, according to many the most beautiful mountain in Slovenia, reigns above the glacial Tamar Valley. Its peak is very difficult to access in winter, but the Kotovo Saddle below it is reached easily. The shady valley offers a lot great powder skiing. For a bigger challenge, the more experienced skiers can climb up the Jalovčev ozebnik), a steep and narrow couloir excellent for some steep skiing. The coulouir has a special shape that enables it to get up to 5 times more powder snow than the other parts of the Julian Alps.

The Kredarica Hut is about as high as you can get in Slovenia on skis. It’s the highest mountain hut in Slovenia, located right below Triglav, the highest peak in Slovenia. While it doesn’t offer a lot of powder skiing, the conditions here are often good. The tour follows the easiest path to Mt. Triglav, from the glacial valley of Krma, past some alps and up the southern slopes below the hut. The high altitude of the hut rewards you with a long descent back to the valley.
