Winter ascent to Triglav

Winter ascent to Triglav

The summit of Triglav is more lonely in the winter than during the summer crowds. Winter ascent is a bigger challenge and is among the medium-sized winter climbs on our two thousand metre mountains. With the mountain guide, everything is much easier and safer.  Such a climbing can be affordable by mountaineers who do not have much experience for winter conditions. The ascent to Kredarica cottage through the valley of Krma is technically simple. From Kredarica to the top of Triglav is more demanding and dependent on snow conditions.

Duration: 2 days (16 hrs.)
• Kranj – Krma (by car): 50 min.
• Krma –  Kredarica: 5 – 6 hrs.
• Kredarica – Triglav – Kredarica: 4 hrs.
• Kredarica – Krma: 4 hrs.
• Drive back: 50 min.

On the first day we pass from the valley of Krma past the shepherd's hut to Kredarica, where we spend the night (5 hours). The second day in the morning we climb to the top (2 hours). From the top follow the descent to Kredarica (2 hours), then after a short rest we continue with the descent into the valley Krma along the direction of ascent (3 hours).

Full equipment for walking in the mountains in winter conditions (crampons, ice axes, suitable clothes and footwear) and an additional climbing belt and helmet are required.
