If you're so enthusiastic about this one, go to Via dela vita too - it's long on top of everything. Or you can extend along the ridge to Mangart.

Hm, interesting comparison. It's great when people enjoy themselves like this and are happy zmeden

"If you're enthusiastic about this one, go to Via dela vita"

since the mentioned route is currently closed, it's better to wait for restoration, and advertise and recommend it later. mežikanje

@danielenidoma; can self-belaying be used completely everywhere in the ferrata?

redbull17. 10. 2018 22:10:41
You have it, how much you use it is up to you. The ferrata isn't exactly like other so-called routes. I'm talking about Via d.Viti

I had it on me the whole time, at moments (especially at the start) it was in the way .. higher on some parts I clipped in, then not again .. depends .. otherwise you can stay clipped in the whole time yes ..

In Via D.Viti it's not quite the same as in Via Italiana

sAleska18. 10. 2018 15:45:16
Of course it's not exactly the same. But since they enjoyed Italiana, Vita would be a nice challenge.
I didn't know it was closed.

redbull18. 10. 2018 16:20:42
It's closed, but there are just as many in it as if it wasn't. The path is similar to last year, only last year it wasn't closed. This misleads hikers. I still say better not to go than to have something go wrong.

Good luck

Sunday. At the saddle wind aplenty, so we skip Mangart summit this time and descend to the bivouac and back to the saddle via Via Italiana.
For comparison a nine-year-old climbed it without a problem.

We headed to Mangart via the Italian variant, which the neighbors used to reach the summit in the 50s of the previous century. Crossing the Yugoslav border wasn't allowed then, so they built their own route, including the Via Italiana ferrata.

We started at Belopeški Lakes and first went to Nogara bivouac. There we continued on the original route, meaning the incredibly visited Via Italiana ferrata. We met quite a few people with minimal experience there and really don't know what drives them into this demanding, especially exposed ferrata. Probably internet and social networks.

After exiting the ferrata we continued left on the Italian route all the way to the foggy summit. Wind and cold quickly drove us off, so we descended back to the junction for Nogara bivouac and down path 517. It's quite overgrown this time of year and slippery in places due to heavy rain. Caution is advised.
A hot day is forecast. We start from Belopeška Lakes at first light.1
Morning mists dissipate quickly, walking through the valley is still pleasantly cool.2
The sun first greets the highest peaks, soon it will be our turn too :)3
Important junction. Here we turn onto path 517 towards Bivacco Nogara.4
The little waterfall under the wall is quite lively, water trickles from every crevice anyway.5
Bivacco Nogara. Right branches the path to Mangart Saddle, left to ferrata Via Italiana.6
Of course, we turn left :)7
Entry cleft into the ferrata. Although we are not exactly late, voices are heard from everywhere.8
A group of loud Poles. One girl has her poles across her body, another's backpack rolls down the slope.9
We quickly gear up and overtake them before they enter the ferrata. Much higher up, we can still hear them.10
The famous gap through which one must somehow scramble :)11
Everyone has their approach, the best is the one by which you exit the hole :)12
The wall shoots straight up, the protections are impeccable.13
The international group advances very slowly, but they are much better at dislodging stones.14
On the ramp they reluctantly step aside and we speed ahead.15
They probably have no idea that the hardest part lies ahead.16
Vertical pitch with a step-around the cleft. Not for everyone, though technically not very demanding.17
That's it …18
Follows some more steep and exposed climbing …19
A hurried look back...20
We are already at the wish bell. Let's ring it also for the predecessors who missed it :)21
Attractive for a photo and for those who look at these walls from the saddle.22
Descent section of Via Italiana on the opposite side of the ridge.23
We are still continuing on the Italian variant. Dense fog has rolled in from somewhere.24
Branch towards Koritnica. I hope I don't run into too many tourist *mountaineers*.25
Fog is joined by wind and cold, that's why everyone huddles together so nicely :)26
We return the same way. The fog clears only just above the saddle.27
View from the saddle to Via Italiana. We have never experienced anything like it. Beneath us a hundred via ferrata climbers are swarming.28
They are everywhere, above below, slowly advancing, lots of waiting. Unbelievable!!!29
We two turn over the edge towards Nogar and quickly we are completely alone.30
We wonder a bit where all the cars are, but finally spot them far below.31
We are already over the saddle and a long descent into the valley follows on path 517.32
Still a short stop at the nice bivouac and we continue.33
The path is quite overgrown in this season and with constant moisture and requires caution.34
We are already at the gates. No one queues as is fashionable now, so we continue the descent.35
After a long and partly slippery descent we are finally in the target plain. A bit of road to the starting point follows.36
GPS track of the hiked path. It recorded 13 km and 1800 elevation gain.37

Hi, at the end of the month I'd like to hike the mentioned path. What's the condition of the path? Is the Slovenian one a better choice? Unfortunately Bovec is quite far away, so you might not be able to imagine it nasmeh

Thanks!

First look at the mountaineering map to get an idea where each path is. Only after hiking (climbing) the Via Italiana path can you decide for the Italian or Slovenian path to Mangart summit. So there are 3 different paths.

funnyboy17. 06. 2024 21:09:45
You can combine both. When you come out of Via Italiana path you can choose for the summit Slovenian or Italian path (which is not the same as Via Italiana! velik nasmeh).
There's still quite a bit of snow under Mangart, which surely won't melt by end of this month.
But Via Italiana is quite a bit harder path than the other two to the summit. Check a bit online and in a guide or map to imagine it more easily.

I get it, studied everything. Asking only because of snow patches and which path is more recommended regarding that. Wish is Via Italiana + Slovenian.

EDIT: Maybe I expressed wrong. Italian (NOT VIA ITALIANA) I did last year, only interested in snow patches status nasmeh
