Skuta, Limestone mountain in Jezersko, Slovenia
Skuta is a limestone peak in the Kamnik-Savinja Alps that rises to about 2,500 meters and offers climbers multiple routes across its northern and southern faces. The mountain attracts visitors throughout the year and is accessible both to experienced mountaineers and those seeking guided expeditions.
Marked trails to the summit first appeared in the 1800s when climbers began systematically exploring and documenting the routes. Since then, the peak has remained a regular destination for mountaineers and found its way into regional climbing guides and maps.
Local mountaineering clubs regularly organize guided expeditions to Skuta's summit, teaching participants about alpine safety and regional geological formations.
Access is through the Frischaufhütte route and requires three to four hours of technical climbing with proper gear and experience. It is advisable to check weather conditions before visiting and to familiarize yourself with the different route options available.
The northern face holds one of Slovenia's last remaining glaciers, distinctive in winter with ice blocks and frozen water cascades. This natural feature makes the north wall particularly striking for experienced climbers seeking an unusual alpine challenge.
