Triglav High Trail

On Saturday and Sunday we did the upper trail about which a lot has already been written online. There's more than enough snow and it will last a while longer. It was nice and quite strenuous, first day too warm, fantastic company. For next time we still have the descent into the gully under Begunjski vrh and ascent past the Valentin Stanič hut back towards Krma, so it looks like repeating the tourvelik nasmeh.

Best, Matej

Our team, a combination of youth and experience, spent three days touring on touring skis through the incredibly beautiful world of our central Julian Alps. The weather was perfect - warm, but not too hot. Conditions for hiking were almost ideal, for skiing a bit less (the last snow isn't fully transformed yet).

Descriptions by daily stages on the ski touring side Snežak:

D1 "warm-up stage" Vogel-Komna (satirical-critical account of the new Olympic discipline 'touring skiing')

D2 "stage of aesthetic highlights" Komna-Travnik-Prehodavci

D3 "skiing stage" Prehodavci-Kanjavec-Krma

I'm attaching some photos here too:

Especially the second stage must have been divine
Exactly as you say. Otherworldly beautiful world! The terraces are especially fantastic, huge boulders, and of course the entire richly sculpted world, and ...

Time-wise, no panic: good 9 hours of easy "pace of two generations" (where we parents are now of course the slower part of the team velik nasmeh - only experience saves us: knowing the terrain, better choosing the micro line on this rugged Komna world, ...; otherwise the youngsters would easily overtake us). This is GROSS time and includes all stops, pauses, detours. Detours like in this case: first we wanted to go via the so-called 'Tom's traverses' on the western side of Kala (if you perhaps know it; named after Tomaž Vrhovec, the "ski touring father" of many of us), but it was too hard, so we turned around and went over the eastern summit of Kala (there 5 v.m. descent a bit steeper, 45 degrees, but with runout, no panic). The plan was 8 hours easy pace - and without detours it would have been exactly 8 hours.

For comparison, so these times are really leisurely: first stage 6 hours, last 6.5 hours (all gross of course; last includes also 45 min walking in Krma).

But the second stage is of course distinctly TRAVELING. Almost no skiing. Just walk, look and marvel ... mežikanje That's what I like best about ski touring!

There's still a huge amount of snow, so definitely doable this year, estimate at least another 2 weeks, maybe more. Only: Vogel gondola is in regular maintenance (for ca. 3 weeks), so it's sensible to skip the first stage; afternoon direct to Komna and then next day onwards.
