Triglav Guides partners with Train to Mountain so every client can check their readiness and train for the long day, the chains and the descent.
After hundreds of Triglav ascents, one thing is clear to us. The climbers who struggle are rarely the ones without experience. They are the ones who trained for something else.
Runners are fit, but their legs are not ready for hours of downhill. Gym regulars are strong, but not for a long day with a pack. And many people do not know what Triglav will ask of them until they are already at Kredarica.
That is why we now partner with Train to Mountain, a personalised training app for mountaineers and trekkers. It was founded by Jakob Ulcnik, a Slovenian climber, and it starts from the mountain: it knows what Triglav demands and builds a plan backwards from your climbing date. It covers summits and treks around the world, so the same plan works for your next objective after Triglav.
Train to Mountain on the web and on iPhone: the weekly plan, today’s key workout and the readiness score for the summit you booked.
Watch: Jakob explains how Train to Mountain works (2 minutes).
What we recommend before your Triglav climb
1. Take the free Triglav readiness check. It takes a few minutes, needs no signup, and shows where your biggest gap is.
2. Read what Triglav actually demands: the long valley day, the chains on the summit ridge and the descent.
3. If you want a full plan, Train to Mountain builds one for Triglav and your date and adapts it every week from your watch. Clients who book with us get 30 days free: start your free 30 days here, or use the code TTMTRIGLAV.
Training does not replace a guide, and it does not replace mountain sense. It means you arrive with legs and lungs that are ready, so the day is about the mountain, not about getting through it.
