High peaks, jagged summits, turquoise mountain rivers, and a good dose of wilderness – the Julian Alps in the tri-border area of Slovenia, Italy, and Austria are a true paradise for mountaineers and via ferrata enthusiasts. Here, you can still embark on solitary mountain tours, and the rugged rock faces offer many opportunities for ferratisti. The Slovenian walls and ridges are not yet as fully equipped with modern climbing facilities as the alpine regions in Italy or Austria. The Rother via ferrata guide "Julian Alps" provides an excellent selection of 83 via ferratas of varying difficulty levels, allowing you to experience the mountain world.

The guide features tours in the Julian Alps, the Steiner Alps, the Karawanken, and the Carnic Main Ridge. Three different via ferratas lead to the famous Triglav. In addition to such popular highlights, there are also plenty of hidden gems.

Each tour is presented in detail: comprehensive information on access points, base camps, duration, character, and difficulty of the tours makes planning easier. Alongside the detailed tour descriptions, hiking maps with marked routes ensure safe navigation along the way. Additionally, GPS tracks for all routes are available for download on the Rother mountain publishing website. A variety of photos sets the stage for an enjoyable climbing experience.
