Beginner Winter Mountaineering Course to Viševnik

This was my first proper winter hike on a mountain, which is 2050 m high. Viševnik (2,050 m) is one of Slovenia’s most popular and accessible two-thousand-meter peaks. It is rising above the Pokljuka plateau in the Julian Alps. The hike to the summit is relatively short (around 2 hours ascent) and non-technical. It is incredibly rewarding though, offering wide open views of Triglav, the Julian Alps and Lake Bohinj. Viševnik is a favorite year-round destination for hikers in summer and also ski tourers in winter.

This hike was actually part of my beginner winter mountaineering course with Kofler Šport. Viševnik was a perfect destination for it.
