It’s a fantastic way to experience snow-covered peaks without the need for extensive mountaineering experience.
Winter in Triglav National Park is a unique experience. To truly appreciate the beauty of this mountainous landscape, you need to see it firsthand. Viševnik is accessible year-round, but a winter ascent adds a special sense of charm and adventure.
The climb depends on weather conditions, but the area typically offers favorable conditions for hikers. With an experienced guide, you'll start from an elevated point at Pokljuka Plateau, making the ascent manageable for those with moderate experience.
The route follows a well-marked snowy path, featuring a moderately steep but manageable climb that allows for a steady pace. Upon reaching the ridge, you will enjoy sweeping views of the snow-covered peaks.
From the summit, you can take in a breathtaking panorama of Mt. Triglav, the Julian Alps, the Pokljuka Plateau, the Bohinj Mountains, the northern Sava Plain, and even the distant Karawanks and Kamnik-Savinja Alps.
The route is technically simple but visually rewarding, making it perfect for those seeking a manageable winter adventure. This climb also serves as excellent preparation for more challenging future hikes.
