Morning: relatively good.
Afternoon: thunderstorms expected.
At 9.00 it's absolutely too late.
You should start at least at 6am, and after 9-10am already be back.

thanks.

Yesterday to Mangart up the Slovenian route and down the Italian. Summit of course quite crowded. Great caution needed on the Slovenian, as there's quite a bit of scree on the path, rocks smooth and wet in places. Also planned MM via Hanzova, but light rain on Vršič, so we didn't head to the top.

Stefano31. 07. 2011 20:42:19

We had the same intentions; like you, I was on Mangart via the Slovenian route on the 30th, then on MM on the 31st...

From the saddle down to the entrance of Via Italiana, then up, no issues, continuation via Slovenian to the top, nothing special and via Italian back down to the saddle. Short and sweet, as Mateja said.

in the central gully is the start of the Via Italiana path

at the top I meet a colleague from Austria, and we swapped jackets for taking photos

some fog and some droplets on the descent

Hello, from Podbele (Nadiža) we would go to Mangart... which route and how to get to it is more suitable. Slovenian or Italian?? Difficulty?? Conditions? Thanks

tiyana5. 08. 2011 16:02:28

Italian one is easier http://www.hribi.net/izlet/mangartsko_sedlo_mangart_italijanska_pot/1/4/169

I was on Mangart a couple days ago; conditions are (for now) ok! Up via Slovenian, down via Italian... Italian is much easier. LP

Tomorrow or on Thursday we would go to Mangart. But I don't know, because today snow is forecasted, otherwise tomorrow sun, on Thursday it's supposed to be rain. How reliable are the forecasts here? We haven't been to Mangart yet, would go the Italian way, because not very experienced and brave hikers. Any advice for us? Thanks

On 2.8. I was on Mangart - via italiana - Slovenian - descent Italian. Whole path no problems.
, on Slovenian still a bit of snow. Nice tour.

Stumby9. 08. 2011 18:03:27

Lora: according to the latest forecast, Wednesday and Thursday stable weather... my advice is if not very experienced, gather experience and in a couple of years climb Mangart on the "real" path, namely from Fusine Lakes via italiana to saddle, then Slovenian to top. This Julian peak hordes of hikers drive to saddle then casually to 1.5h away top have completely taken away the honor. If you want to experience the mountain in full glory, start at Fusine Lakes, and if you want to avoid climbing, ascend the normal hiking path to saddle (from Italian direction). Otherwise yes, from saddle, Italian path somewhat easier than Slovenian.

Lora9. 08. 2011 22:25:36

Thanks. For Thursday we'll choose path from saddle, next time definitely start from Fusine Lakes on real path. Hope it goes well to top. Some hills we've already visited, even Kredarica from Rudno polje... Is the path more demanding than to Kredarica?

Stumby10. 08. 2011 01:51:32

Hard to compare this, from Rudno polje to Kredarica I haven't gone yet, definitely fitness-wise path to Kredarica more demanding because much longer and bigger elevation gain. Path to Mangart from Mangart saddle quite short, but can be technically demanding for inexperienced at some spots as need to use hands too, help are pegs and cables. Via ferrata kit certainly welcome, especially if decide for Slovenian path from saddle. I'm also going Thursday to Mangart, so maybe see you up there. Good luck nasmeh

nadka10. 08. 2011 09:56:14

I think Mangart will be summited on Sunday, at least according to the forecasts.. I see that maybe from the Belopeška Lakes there's a nicer and safer?? path than from the saddle along the Italian path. Am I wrong??

Santi10. 08. 2011 10:05:31

nadka, it's nicer for sure and also quite a bit longer, but you first reach the saddle..., then continue Slovenian or Italian.

IgorZlodej10. 08. 2011 19:53:34

Also from Loška Koritnica it's nice, you can go over Jačke, under Rob above Zagače, over Rob above Zagače, then a little combination with Slovenian or Italian to the top.

On Wednesday in a fresh but clear morning we arrive at Mangart Saddle, where it's quite windy. Many visitors. From the saddle we descend to the sheltered Italian side to the bivouac. Follows entry to the ferrata. The ascent proceeds without problems. Follows also ascent via Slovenian to Mangart, and loooong enjoyment on the top and descent via Italian to the saddle, where it was worth admiring the sunset.

first a herd of goats greets us and an even much larger herd of sheep

from the bivouac to the via ferrata entrance the cairns show the path

a section of the path as if it were not in the via ferrata

... and downwards - yes, this via is quite airy

excellently equipped and the safety gear is fine

and view from the top of the ferrata Via italiana

and further along the Slovenian one towards the top of Lepotec

the view reached the sea and the Primorska peaks

view into the wall where the via ferrata is routed

despite the cold it was worth waiting for

A wonderful day was announcing itself, so we decided to go all three and no regrets, it was wonderful.
Up Slovenian, down Italian. Slovenian route is nice but for some of us quite exposed, especially at the landslide place, which is repaired but still very airy. We climbed it without major problems.
On top already at 10.00 quite a few people. No wind and wonderful sunny morning kept us up almost till noon. Descent on Italian also requires concentration, due to very slippery and smooth rocks.
