Mount Jalovec is a mountain in the Julian Alps. With an elevation of 2,645 m (8,678 ft) above sea level, it is the sixth-highest peak in Slovenia. It stands between the Tamar, Koritnica, and Trenta Alpine valleys, in Upper Carniola, within the Triglav National Park. It is made up of Triassic limestone and dolomite. Under the peak is born the Soča River. The first known ascent was made by the Austrian engineer Karl Wurmb, accompanied by two Slovenian guides, in 1875.
