Skydiving Slovenia

  My husband and I nervously booked to climb Triglav in one day. Nervous because we were concerned about our fitness levels. We couldn’t seem to gauge required fitness from reading... read more reviews. So this is probably the first thing to include in our review...my husband and I are in our 30’s, best described as regular gym goers, “outdoorsy” and not overweight....but absolutely no experience in mountaineering or hiking over any long distance. The trip was HARD, and not for the faint hearted. Mentally and physically. But we got to the top and would encourage others who have a decent level of general fitness, desire to climb a mountain and strong willpower to give it a go! You have to go prepared to give 110%, we took 13 hrs in total including a few short breaks along the way and even if you are super fit, it is a long day. We couldn’t gauge exactly what to take and wanted to pack as light as possible. If you do this trip definitely pack layers (we had a beautiful sunny day but were well wrapped up at the top), 1.5l of water (there are a couple of refill points so no need to take anymore), food to keep you going along the way, cash and of course a camera. Our guide Mat was quite literally incredible. His fitness was astounding. He was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, funny and encouraging. We couldn’t have asked for...

Our guide Mat was quite literally incredible. His fitness was astounding. He was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, funny and encouraging. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide for the day....a huge thank you Mat!!

We were a group of 5 + Mat and were lucky enough to have a great bunch of people to do the trip with. We were so impressed with Mat and Altitude Activities, the only downside is that we aren’t in Bled long enough to try any of their other activities.
