I wouldn't venture on this tour without skis or snowshoes. The snow here is still quite dry and without anything (skis - snowshoes) walking would be very difficult. Below the summit on descent when I was without snowshoes I sank up to my waist in some places. There's quite a lot of snow in these areas.

Excellent description. How about avalanche danger?

Caution is never amiss. But I think there's no avalanche danger here. In the first steep section the path goes through forest, at the top there's scree below. No big smooth slopes.

In Western Julian Alps above Zajzero. South of it is Montaž, then Rudni vrh saddle with Koča Grego hut, further north Naborjetske mountains (Poldašnja špica, Pipar, Dve špici), north of Naborjetske mountains is Kanalska dolina (Ukve, Tablja)

I've been to Krniška Glavica about 15 times from different sides. The nicest winter approach is from the head of Zajzera through La Grawe valley, however this path is used in winter exclusively by ski tourers. The summit part is very steep, so I've seen wet snow avalanches on the north side there, such avalanches also in the steep forest section, so can't rule them out. Otherwise as dm72 wrote, without skis or snowshoes it won't work until the snow is well consolidated, then of course it won't go without crampons either.

@dm72,
nice job presenting the tour, even nicer photos attached, just to tease. And Anuk with the most stars, as always.

It's been a long time without any impressions from Krniška Glavica, so let me add some (still) summer ones before the next winter ones.
Mitja Košir (Dnevnik) wrote: »…Krniška Glavica (Jof di Sompdogna), exceptional viewpoint, where one really feels on its rounded summit like waiting on some heavenly pulpit, rotating around an axis and revealing wonders from horizon to horizon.«
Summer said goodbye in the best possible way and spoiled us on its last day this year with sun rays. On the »heavenly pulpit« there was really a little paradise on Sunday. You could see far and even farther. Sun rays warmed and colored. Breeze blew just enough to dry some sweat drop here and there. Company, the best possible. The kind that knows how to enjoy moments of heavenliness, knows the paths, reads cairns and doesn't mind stops for »snapping pics« and slow pace.
Before I get into some special thoughts… our path led from Zajzera (beautiful warm morning) to Grego hut (very long and pleasant stop for morning coffee) and on to the top of Krniška Glavica (even longer stop for snack and other heavenly pleasures).
Return can be summed up again with M. Košir's words: »When the eye has feasted on all the beauty and heart and soul contentedly calm down, we might choose another equally easy path for descent to the start, leading to the foot of wild Montaž rocks. From the top we'll descend a steep path to the upper part of Krnica (Fossa di Carnizza) and visit Stuparich bivouac (1578 m).« From there down to Zajzera. From where it's always hard to leave, so there was lounging on the bench and »sugary heart-shaped« coffee at Ojcinger. 
Conditions though… yeah, heavenly of course. Well, in the last part from bivouac to Zajzera not exactly heavenly, but maybe there's some forbidden tree in that forest besides the fallen ones. 
So - conditions on Sunday were ideal for hiking, no moisture, snow, mud… hope they last until larches turn golden.

The descriptions above say it all, we took the same path as potepinka. We also descended the once "controversial" direct path from the bivouac to Zajzera. The path is normally passable, maybe a bit steeper. Easy to follow too, sometimes even new markers. Upper junction unmarked (old broken sign on ground), lower one normal. Didn't seem too nasty to me, though marked with dots on Tabacco map (why?), normal on ours. On ours, the path branching from the one to Grego hut isn't. The day started nicely, cold wind and fog chasing over the top drove us away, a bit lower it was ok. Rain waited nicely too. Not my first time, nor last. Nice area.

So Edina, this year you'll surpass yourself in visiting mountains outside Slovenia, I almost envy you a bit!
This year there's a flood of visits to various via ferratas and climbs abroad, and I thought it wouldn't attract me anymore in life, but now, reading your exploits, I already doubt my beliefs that Western Julians, Karnic Alps and via ferratas in general don't interest me. Probably I'll start looking across the border again too. Got quite excited! After the self-belaying kit I've started looking too!
Well, where do we draw our inspirations and ideas for tours, a lot from "hribi.net".

Yes, it's true, we find and draw inspirations and ideas for mountain tours right from "hribi.net". Finally something smart for us mountain enthusiasts! - Safe and happy to all hikers and especially....... lady hikers
