World Climbs Watch Koper as Garnbret Shines

Slovenia’s coast hosts global stage for elite climbing

Slovenia’s coastal city of Koper transformed into an international climbing hub as it hosted the IFSC Climbing World Cup. The competition brought elite athletes from around the world, with the spotlight firmly on Slovenia’s own Janja Garnbret, widely regarded as one of the sport’s greatest talents.

Fans lined up to see Garnbret in action, turning the event into a festival of climbing culture. For Slovenia, the World Cup was more than sport — it was a showcase of the nation’s natural landscape and reputation for excellence on the global stage. 

Hosting such a high-profile competition cements Koper’s role as a destination for both athletes and adventure tourism.
