The Kamnik-Savinja Alps boast over 30 peaks that lie more than 2,000 meters above sea level. Their advantage, according to one of the most successful Slovenian mountain climbers, Marko Prezelj, the only four-time winner of the Piolet d\u2019Or award, lies in their \u201cdiversity and manageability.\u201d<\/em>He adds that \u201cyou may find yourself in a different situation and condition every season, but on the other hand we can design tours differently from start to finish. Having access to such diversity while being able to enjoy nature is rare in the world.\u201d<\/em> The Kamnik-Savinja Alps is home to many popular mountain tours that attract mountaineers throughout the year. Friendly caretakers will be happy to host you in their mountain lodges.<\/h4>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Grintovec<\/h4>\n\t

Mount Grintovec is the highest peak in the Kamnik-Savinja Alps, with an elevation of 2,558 meters. Of all the trails leading to it, access through Jezersko and Kokra are deemed the most difficult, whereas the route starting in Kamni\u0161ka Bistrica is technically rather undemanding. Good physical condition is nevertheless recommended, as you will cover close to 2,000 meters of elevation gain. Considered one of the easiest to conquer of the Slovenian mountains that are taller than 2,000 meters, Grintovec invites hikers with its wonderful views over the Ljubljana Basin, Jezersko, neighboring peaks and even over the Karawanks and Julian Alps.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

It is a tradition that each Slovene should climb Mount Triglav once in their lifetime. For residents of Kamnik, the same goes for Kamnik Saddle. From the Kamni\u0161ka Bistrica Valley, you can follow an easy, marked trail that would take an average hiker a little less than 4 hours to complete. The trail begins in the forest, before ascending past a wide clearing pocked with boulders to a grassy slope that leads to Kamnik Lodge. The lodge stands on the sunny side of Kamnik Saddle, between Brana and Planjava peaks. Managed by the Kamnik Mountaineering Club, the lodge is open daily from June through October and on weekends for the rest of the year.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Mount Stor\u017ei\u010d is, at 2,132 meters above sea level, the highest peak in the western part of the Kamnik-Savinja Alps and among most popular. Its name comes from its pinecone-shaped peak that features a famous cross and viewing platform. The first explorers on Stor\u017ei\u010d were botanists interested in its vast array of Alpine plants, including the ubiquitous Zois\u2019 Bellflower. There are several trails leading to the summit, ranging from easy to very difficult. One of the most popular begins in Povlje at Preddvor village and takes a good 4 hours, covering 1,422 meters of elevation gain.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The third highest peak in the Kamnik-Savinja Alps is Mount Skuta, standing at 2,532 meters above sea level. The trail to the summit is among the most difficult, but it\u2019s also among the most frequented, due to its magnificent views. Just beneath the summit, in the rocky realm of Mali Podi, perches one of the most beautiful shelters, the bivouac under Skuta. Built in 2015, the bivouac was the product of a collaboration between experts from various fields who participated in the project mostly on a voluntary basis.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
