Another afternoon one. Just in case I take skis with me, although I knew there wouldn't be much snow. I park in Zajzeri at Ojcinger inn, then go up through meadows and briefly through forest and I'm already on the road to St. Višarje. The road is groomed, which I don't like too much. After about half an hour there's already good 10 cm of snow so I don't need to carry skis anymore and walk with them. How nice after good five months to walk with skis again. Over Špik ridges sun shyly shines somewhere, but just enough to make sweat bead on the forehead, with height views increase, they are known anyway, but still this environment is infinitely beautiful to watch again and again, there's none like it anywhere, checked . At some bend a car stands, I think it's Juret's. Further he drove with snowmobile. So the road is nicely groomed, but for me it's still nicer at the edge on the crust. The hamlet on the hill is deserted, still this week, then it will be lively again. I walk a bit and look around the top. Down towards Žabnice plenty snowing, from cannons of course. Then I head to the valley, on skis of course, a bit on the groomed road, a bit at the edge. After about half the path need to take off skis, pity, but not hard. Next time maybe to the car.

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.

Hahaha Irina... the important thing is that you enjoyed on the top, even if you walked up all day ... we missed each other by one day

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.

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

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!?

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....

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!

Exclusively Višarski graben, old pilgrimage path. From Žabnice / Camporosso up (way of the cross). Always all three paths: touring ski track, foot trail and snowshoe track
And at the top don't bypass Mešnik

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

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.
