When it comes to hiking, Slovenia shoots way above its weight. Straddling the border between the Balkans and Central Europe, Slovenia is a small country with vast adventure options — focalized mostly around the Julian Alps.  Hidden among these limestone towers are hundreds of forested footpaths to walk, rustic villages to visit, deep turquoise lakes to swim in, and pale castles to explore. Packed with history and hidden from the crowds, Slovenia is a hiking spot you shouldn’t sleep on. If you want to learn more about hiking in Slovenia, get this FREE WEBINAR recording. Slovenian local Klemen Gricar is here to walk you through a hiking tour of the Julian Alps, complete with cool anecdotes, equipment advice, and pro tips for your own stroll among the summits.

For many climbers, the first sign of snow means climbing season is over. However, it doesn’t have to be. Ice climbing is the ideal way to get your fill of route-topping thrills in the colder months. It’s not only a thing to do while waiting for the snow to melt — it’s an opportunity to try cool tools, master fun techniques, and explore a brand new dimension of climbing. While scaling a frozen waterfall may seem terrifying at first, it’s actually quite easy to get into — all you need is some spunk, enthusiasm, and a good teacher. While we can’t provide the first two, we’ve got just the right IFMGA Guide for the job! Looking to find your footing in the world of ice climbing? Tune in to this FREE WEBINAR! You’ll learn about the gear you’ll need, the skills you’ll acquire, and the best spots to get your first picks in. If you’ve been meaning to take a swing at ice climbing, this webinar is axe-actly what you need.
