There are lots of sleeping options in Vipava valley and around Nova Gorica and Solkan. Climber oriented camp is in Vipava and it’s called KAMP TURA. There are many other camps, apartments, hostels and restaurants. We like pizzeria ŽOGICA near Solkan or pizzeria GRAD near Ozeljan.

BEST SEASON Late autumn and spring. And of course nice winter days, if the rock is dry. It might be a bit colder, but the friction is perfect.

SUN & SHADE The shade is provided by forest and different expositions of boulders. Summer can be nice, until you climb the hardest problems, where some friction might be necessary.

RAIN Some blocks (especially Hueco) can be climbed in rain. But many of them take a long time to dry.

STYLE & ROUTES The rock is very good and existing problems don’t crumble any more, while you should be careful at the new ones. You can find all types of problems, from slabs to overhangs. Mostly they are crimpy or interesting aretes, but there are also traverses, slopers, highballs, compression and jumps.

GEAR & SAFETY Almost everywhere you can put up good landings, watch only for extreme problems like Dynozaver and highballs.

KIDS & COMFORT The comfort is top notch. Idyllic forest has patches of grass and shade with benches in between. Kids can run around the forest and even find some mini boulders just for them.

BEGINNERS There are some easy lines, but this is not a boulder place for beginners. 2/5

ADVANCED Great lines of all styles and difficulty will for sure excite you. 5/5

THE BEST  There are many problems, but they are quite specific and usually crimpy. 3/5

HISTORY Vitovlje is one of the first bouldering areas in Slovenia, being discovered around 1998, when Jure Piršič climbed the problem Krnica Čaven. Vitovlje were always popular among Slovenian boulderers and practically all the best ones were here often. The most of the hard lines were climbed by the great Urh Čehovin, who supposedly did a FA of a new hard line every time he came here. Later (many even today unrepeated) hard lines were put up by Gregor Bratina, Gregor Šeliga, Jernej Kruder and especially the local strongboy Boštjan Weingerl. Although Vitovlje, in terms of popularity and visitors, have their waves of crowdedness and solitude, new and interesting problems are created and new blocks are cleaned even these days.
