bos, thanks (returning the favor for your posts with your son ). On our timings... no training or forcing, simply all weekends and free days in the mountains, so kids have fitness and coordination for such terrain. Slightly faster timings really not strenuous for them, just normal movement. Half joke half serious, the following applies. Recently read that when Marco Pantani was asked why he cycles up the hills so fast, he said he was too lazy to go slowly. If we had to hike Triglav in 6-7 hours or overnight in between, it would be too strenuous for us

Poor kid... we don't force anything, but all weekends and free days in the mountains. I'm not saying, a million times better than PlayStation, maybe there's something else =D =D =D =D

Bravo, congrats from me too. You can really see from the pics that the kid is enjoying it, great. I'm going with my slightly younger one within 1 month to Kredarica/Planika and back. But I won't post it to avoid comments like the one above...

@simon79... Kredarica or Planika from Krma is great for getting kids used to bigger elevation gains. Before their first Triglav, I took both of ours a year earlier on a scouting trip to Kredarica. In my experience, this has several advantages for kids, assuming they are sufficiently fit in advance to manage it. First, Triglav is really within reach, they are proud of their achievement, see it's not some bogeyman, and can brag that they've almost been up there, which is good motivation; second, when you later take them to Triglav, that effortful part of the path they already know, so it passes quicker for them.

I need advice. Recently, friends with whom we went to Turska gora via Kotlice asked if I'll go with their boys (14 and 12) and their dad to Jalovec. On Turska gora I think they had no issues. They were also on Triglav from Planika and it was OK. I have concerns about Jalovec. Golicica of course is out, but from the hut...? Not sure if it's safe even with two adults? Thanks for any help.

From Zavetšče the most annoying part is the last half hour, when you ascend the very crumbly section to the ridge or summit. Kotlici are in my opinion similarly annoyingly crumbly, so if it went OK there, it will go OK on Jalovec too. Helmet is mandatory, because it really flies down a lot. Right from Zavetšče you ascend via a couple of steep cables, svk at own discretion. The slope of Veliki Ozebnik, its ridge, also requires care due to moderate crumbliness, but not precipitous.

Given the paths they've done, the upper part of Jalovec shouldn't be insurmountable for them, technically not demanding but very strenuous. It looks not very exposed (if you don't know there's a drop to Koritnica under the summit slope). So it's good to pick a day and hour so that the descent from the ridge isn't a thunderstorm escape, since you can't hurry there at all. Last time with my son, some foreigners were already "rolling" uphill in city sneakers, I don't know how they even got down.

Thanks. I'll go check personally once more how it is, since I was there last a few years ago; meanwhile we'll go somewhere together, then to the "lad from the parish" and report the result.

Crazy, congratulations. Next time, if I wouldn't be in your way, I'd go with you, if possible of course? Bravo!

You probably walked from Planica already?

Regarding walking it's true, as driving to the hut was never allowed.

Once upon a time... Since the accident at the ramp happened, driving is prohibited.

...and extended the tour by 45 minutes, which is a nice warm-up before the ascent to the king. It's already a luxury to drive to Planica

In those times you could drive to Tamar until 8am and return after 6pm. If earlier, you found the parking collector and he opened the barrier for you. That system was OK for me, warm-up was enough on the relatively flat path from the hut. Anyway, that's what happened to the guy and what can we do. Maybe the accident wouldn't have happened if the barrier was painted red-white. But that's TNP. Recently at Peričnik they complained that in winter TNP doesn't allow any lights at the waterfall. Often TNP is an end in itself and hinders development.
