Spend a night on a portaledge clinging to Mount Krn’s limestone face, listening to the Nadiža river below and waking to sunrise on an alpine wall. This guided overnight combines technical rigging, local history, and an adrenaline-filled 100‑m rappel back to the valley.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You clip in, swing your legs over empty air and feel the wall breathe beneath you — a cold exhale of limestone and wind. From your portaledge the Nadiža river dares you with its bright ribbon below while the cliff face of Mount Krn holds the light like a moving painting. Night compresses sound; water and distant bird calls become the campfire.

Be honest about medical limits
This experience is not recommended for people with spinal, heart conditions, or pregnancy; disclose concerns before booking.
Practice with exposure beforehand
If you’re new to heights, try shorter local climbs or via ferrata to build comfort before a portaledge night.
Footwear for the river
Bring fast‑drying shoes you can walk barefoot out of and into — the final crossing on the Nadiža can be cold and slippery.
Sleep system basics
Even if a sleeping bag is provided, bring a warm liner and dry bag; nights on exposed walls can get unexpectedly cold.
Sturdy hiking boots
Support and traction for approach trails and the river exit.
Warm midlayer and insulating hat
Nighttime temperatures on the wall drop significantly; layers trap heat without bulk.
Fast-drying river shoes or sandals
Needed for the barefoot river crossing and wet scree at the valley exit.
summer
Headlamp with fresh batteries
Hands-free light for moving around anchors and for nocturnal needs on the portaledge.
