Pilgrimage to St. Višarje

Irina1. 01. 2012 22:31:00

The better equipped went for higher peaks, we infinitely enjoyed at St. Višarje.
The group decided for skiing, Luna and I decided to head to the top on foot. The lower part of the ski slope is closed due to lack of snow, so our fluffy one had the white fields all to herself.
Of course, I didn't reach Rozka's time, but we arrived at the top and I was very proud.
St. Višarje are very dear to me, they have their charm and some special energy.

Sv. Višarje - without this photo you simply can't go back to the valley

And heading home - Stol in the last sun rays

Rozka, thanks!. We really enjoyed and had so much "work" on the way that it really could happen that we use the whole day for the ascent.
If we missed this time, maybe we'll meet some other time. Until then happy on all paths.

Finally some snow fell, so I could go on skis already from Žabnica on the pilgrimage path. To Višarska planina there was already about 40 cm of new snow and as expected it collected in the dogs' paws. Forgot to grease the dogs zadrega

. At the top nothing new. Down I skied on the ski slope, which is groomed halfway, lower part on ungroomed. I skied to the car, but it was more miserable zadrega

two flletni Austrians were behind me all the time :-))

at Mešnik I eat pasta, drink beers and the sun comes out outside

Kamniti lovec is currently inaccessible, III. degree of snow avalanche danger

From the pictures it looks pretty nice, not miserable at all, especially if I compare to today's weather in the capital. nasmeh

Good luck!

Yes of course it was nice, I like winter in all shades, even the foggy, snowy and windy one, I rated skiing miserable zavijanje z očmi

Wow there's really not so little snow up there. Yeah winter is so beautiful, especially when dressed in a white blanket nasmeh

.Good luck on new paths mežikanje

Super! I've been waiting for such a report :-) Now I'll go on pilgrimage, and we'll even try higher towards Lovec :-)

Does the 3rd degree of avalanche danger mean nothing!? zmeden

I'm not heading to Višarje now. There are still a few days until Saturday for the snow to settle. And even that is questionable whether there will be suitable weather and conditions and time for such a tour then....

zamet4. 01. 2012 19:33:36

Well, today my colleague and I also dashed to Višarje, early in the morning on the ski slope before the first skiers we were already up so we didn't bother them, weather was probably better yesterday for a change but skiing was probably better judging by the lower end where the snow was frozen and it didn't go to the bottom, because there's really little snow down there.
On the way home we casually jumped to Velika (mala) planina, there were already different conditions: fog, snow, but nice.

Quite a few of us gathered and more were still coming.

It's snowing but the dog is wagging its tail.

On Saturday we went on pilgrimage to St. Višarje. The expedition fully succeeded, as there were as many as 9 babes. Three of us also visited Kamnitega lovca. The track was already laid and even skied down towards the road. Entry into the gully before Lovec summit was annoying, because it wasn't filled with snow and I barely scrambled over. Then some Austrian without crampons and ice axe found passage left on the summer path (I didn't know there was a rope there, because last year everything was nicely snow-covered) and got his woman over, who had only poles for gear....

Question from a pedestrian. Which starting point or which path is most suitable for approach in winter conditions? Best regards and thanks!

Laščan25. 01. 2012 20:18:46

Thanks Turbo for the turbo reply!

dedo2428. 01. 2012 19:21:30

Is there enough snow to head to Višarje with touring skis?

mmcajna16. 03. 2012 11:06:17

What is the path to Holy Višarje like? Is there still some snow and which path do you recommend for a tour for 8 60-year-olds? Thanks for the answer.

Last month I was at Višarje on the pilgrimage path from Žabnice (Camporosso), description found among outings. The path is wide, also steep, but not exposed. Since it is mostly in shade and smoothed by many hikers and touring skiers, I assume it's still icy (I walked safely with "shoe chains" from Veriga Lesce). I recommend this path, take crampons along. But I don't know what connection this tour has with years zavijanje z očmi

I know some 60-year-olds and older who can easily reach Višarje and many 20-year-olds who can't reach Šmarna gora. Go boldly and good luck! nasmeh

My wish to visit this pilgrimage village came true yesterday, on the path there's quite some snow that starts quite low, it's soft, at the top it's quite a lot in places nasmeh

views very far around, because the day was very nice for an outing nasmeh
