Triglav Winter Ascent Tour: Explore the Best Winter Climbing Routes

  1. Krma Valley Route: This is one of the most frequented paths for winter climbing. The route starts at Krma Valley, leading climbers through snow-covered forests and scenic views before reaching the Kredarica Hut. It typically takes about 5 to 6 hours to reach the hut, followed by a 2-hour ascent to the summit​. 
  2. Pokljuka Plateau Route: Starting from the Pokljuka Plateau, this route is known for its gentler gradients compared to others. It involves more gradual elevation gains, making it a good option for those who prefer a less steep ascent. The route also offers stunning views of the Julian Alps​
  3. Via Ferrata Route: For experienced climbers, this route includes sections of via ferrata, which involve climbing on fixed ladders and cables. It presents additional challenges, especially in winter conditions, and is suitable for those with good climbing skills​
  4. South Face Route: Though primarily popular in the summer, some climbers attempt the south face route in winter. This path requires careful navigation due to potential snow and ice conditions. It is generally more challenging and is recommended for experienced mountaineers​.

Kredarica hut in the winter: Everything you need to know

Location and Accessibility

Kredarica Hut, also known as Triglavski Dom na Kredarici, is situated at an altitude of 2,515 meters in the Julian Alps. It is the highest mountain hut in Slovenia, making it a popular base for climbers. The hut can be accessed via several climbing routes, including the Krma Valley, Pokljuka Plateau, and the Vrata Valley, each taking approximately 5 to 6 hours to reach​. 

Accommodation Details

The hut can accommodate around 350 people, with options for dormitory-style rooms featuring 4 to 8 beds. 

Opening Times During Winter

Kredarica Hut operates on a limited basis during the winter months. In winter, the hut is not fully serviced; instead, it functions primarily as an emergency shelter. The meteorologists stationed at Kredarica will welcome climbers, providing basic accommodations​.

Key Points:

  • Accommodation: Hikers can stay overnight, but the rooms are not heated, so it’s advisable to bring warm sleeping gear.
  • Reservation: Reservations are not typically accepted during the winter season. Hikers are accommodated on a first-come, first-served basis, and payment is usually in cash​.

Food Options

The restaurant at Mt. Kredarica does not operate during the winter season. It is advisable to bring your own food and drinks for your stay. While the meteorologists on-site may offer limited basic supplies, it’s important not to rely on these options as they are scarce. To ensure you have adequate nourishment, plan ahead and pack sufficient provisions for your winter climb. 

Weather Conditions

Winter weather at Kredarica can be harsh, with temperatures dropping significantly, often reaching lows of -20°C or lower. The hut is equipped to handle winter conditions, but hikers should be prepared for cold weather​. It’s also advisable to check the current weather forecasts prior to your climb.

Booking and Costs

Accommodation typically costs around €14 to €22 per night, with discounts available for members of certain alpine associations​.

Regulations and Limitations

As the hut is located within a national park, there are regulations to protect the environment. It’s important to follow all guidelines provided by your guides and the hut staff​.

Winter Mt. Triglav Climb – Things to consider

  1. Winter Season Duration: The winter climbing season in Slovenia runs from December to late March. The Alpine region often experiences winter conditions from November to mid-May. Snow accumulation is significant, especially from January to March.
  2. Choosing the Right Route: For a winter ascent, the Krma Valley to Kredarica route is the most suitable. This path offers a well-defined trail and shelter.
  3. Gear Considerations: Snowshoes or touring skis are essential for this climb. If you are a skier, you can use touring skis to reach Kredarica.
  4. Climbing Challenges: The North Wall route may be rated UIAA grades II and III in summer. However, in winter, the conditions can significantly increase the climb’s difficulty.
  5. Climb Duration: While it is possible to summit Mt. Triglav in one day, we recommend a two-day climb for a more enjoyable experience. Staying overnight at Kredarica Hut enhances your ascent.
