Why would it be closed? Are cables torn somewhere?

@bbugari1 Via della Vita is neither a hiking trail nor an alpinistic ascent, but a very demanding ferrata. Marked, secured.

Gorski Vodniki FJK last year renovated the first third of the ferrata, now sooner or later—I don't know when—they will renovate the other 2 thirds because they say the cables and pegs are not all up to date and safe as they should be by law, so now this part is an alpinistic ascent.

Sonny, this is obviously no longer a marked and secured ferrata. And what does ferrata mean, is it something else besides a hiking or alpinistic path, something third, or...?

Bbugari1, this is still a secured climbing path, which is temporarily closed due to damaged protections. Where protections are missing, one needs to climb protected and roped up, that part is supposed to be an alpinistic ascent, everything else is still a secured climbing path, which cannot be compared to an alpinistic ascent, but is "ferrata-ing". This is also one nice branch of hiking, mountaineering or alpinism which, due to abundance of years, I increasingly use Nice hiking regards, Sly.

Don't forget winter gear, it might happen that the cornice snow shelf causes problems.

Via Italiana path is fully passable without winter gear (either from Belopeski or descent from saddle). Good luck

Then you're right, in that direction there's still quite a snowfield Sorry

The Path of Life still has a closed sign. From old pl. to wall the path is freshly marked. The secured path now starts right of the snowfield, is led between terminal scree and wall, goes left slightly down then up where it joins the real start of the ferrata. You fully avoid snow, terminal scree to wall is really huge, maybe 10m high. All protections are impeccable (to upper scree). A couple of pegs are hidden, no real problems. I think the path ahead to Vevnica summit is normally passable as I saw hikers continuing to the top. Above scree I turned to Bivak Tarvisio. Beginning well marked, then very faded old marks. Worse ahead to Koritniški Mangart, here and there poor mark and some cairns. Here you go in the direction of the gully or a bit more left (demanding), in upper steepest part the wire helps. Ahead to evil notch only cairns (protections impeccable). From Mangart I descended Italian way, then before saddle Via Italiana to Bivak Nogaro and on to Belopeška lakes. To Mangart top 7 hours, whole loop with stops 12 hours.

matic4, can you please tell me if winter gear (ice axe and crampons) is needed for this tour now, or not anymore? Thanks

matic4, I'm wondering if the red bivouac Bussettini is open (or maybe locked due to corona?). I'm thinking of a similar tour to Mangart (maybe in reverse) continuing over the Ponc ridge. Thanks!

Rok.si, since we can't hike in SLO from HR at this time, we hike in IT. All bivouacs we passed have a sticker that they shouldn't be used due to corona, but they are open and people use them.

Ferrata "via della vita" permanently closed, this year CAI FVG mountain guides plan to finish/even renovate the last part, no news that they have done it yet; due to covid-19 bivouacs in all Italy remain open only for possible emergency and not for staying.

Ivona, winter gear not needed.
rok.si, if going towards Ponc, I advise taking a rope. On Vevnica-Strug you can run into torn protections.
