malimiha thanks, magroman yeah we walked just under 12 hours with breaks, the path otherwise requires 110% concentration

Yesterday went along Via della Vita to Visoka Ponca and down to the lakes. It added up to 17 km and 1847 m ascent, in 12 hours. Others have described everything. I'd just warn that towards Vevniška škrbina there are now patches of hard snow and ice. North side after all. Winter gear essential.

It really is beautiful. I can add my hope that the fixed protections and markings along the ridge won't be improved. That would take away quite a bit of the route's charm. Where they are really needed, they are good.

I'm wondering if there's any issue at the entry to the wall? Last time, I think 2 years ago, the snowfield right at the start of the protected route required quite some climbing skills and gear (ice axe, crampons, rope).

Initial part is well done with pegs, sometimes there were none and it was good II, without that peg I'd say straight III
Good luck

From end of della Vita on path to Vevnica there's a somewhat trickier snowfield, bypassed below and left of the rock on its left side. Climbing up to I+. For anyone going on to Ponce, this detour is a breeze!  According to info from two who came from there, ridge is snow-free.
Also snow-free is Rob path above zagače - Tamar, though about marking of this path from bivouac to where it becomes obvious and climbs to Kotovo Sedlo, I'd rather not!

Any fresh info on the path condition to Vevnica and further to Strug-Ponce. Still any snowfields? 
Thanks, best regards Martina

Winter gear needed, 100%.
That part before the entry

What's this now? Redbull recommends winter gear, VanSims says no need to carry it???

@redbull meant the entry into della Vita, I was talking about the snowfield on the path from the end of della Vita to the Vevnica summit, which in my opinion is too steep for winter gear, but it can be bypassed as I wrote.
The Vevnica - Ponce ridge should be snow-free according to information from two hikers I met at Vevnica.

The ridge is logically snow-free. The topic as you see above says Via D.Vita. That's completely something else than the ridge from Ponc via Strug to Vevnica. From Ponc to Mangart it's a dry path.

Does anyone have info on the size of the snowfield under Via della Vita? Winter gear mandatory for safe passage? Based on last year's conditions, I think I know the answer, but still asking if anyone has been there. 
What's the condition of the Ponc ridge path after this winter?

No need, you are there and know that the snowfield is quite substantial. From the Belopeška Lakes I saw a photo a week ago right in that direction. There was a solid snowfield. The ridge should be OK, except between Vevnica and Bivak Busettini it's hard to say that it doesn't go without snow, in that shady section.
Good luck.

No snow on the entire traverse. Was there yesterday. Had ice axe, didn't need it. Below Rob nad Zagačami big snowfield, but entry to Vita is clear, as is access there. At the fork below it says Vita is impassable, but I don't get why. In the upper part there's one step broken out in the vertical (watch out), one cable damaged in non-problematic section, nothing else noticed.

Via della Vita: we put up the sign that it's impassable because the mountain guides team plans to renovate it completely as it doesn't meet new EN 2017 standards, probably they'll proceed with renovation of the second ferrata part in autumn so for safety it's officially closed as "via ferrata" but at personal responsibility you can go through like a climbing route/ via alpinistica (meaning also that in case of accident rescuers will bill for possible rescue action), PD CAI Tarvisio.

@alessio
From that point of view I understand.
The lower part to the gully is excellently renovated, full marks.

Nicely renovated now Vita, only towards the top faded markings which spices up finding passages. To Strug nothing new, there Italians renovating also path from Alpe Vecchia. Finish over Visoka Ponca and back to lakes.
