Super, Matjaž! You probably need to arrange with them beforehand? Who do you know there on Skalca? nasmeh

mito300019. 07. 2023 20:41:59

Sadly, I don't know if they can be contacted somehow. You're so fast anyway that you don't need to overnight. I know that one on Skalca, maybe sometime we can go together on something easier again. 😀

On Wednesday we rested by the Nadiža and Thursday was the right day for the summit. mežikanje

We went up at 7.00 with the workers because afternoon storms were forecast and so we arrived first from this side to the summit, but people had already come via both ferratas from the Italian side. mežikanje

The path is well marked and normally passable, no stamp at the top or in my opinion nowhere, because I asked at the refreshment place above the gondola, which has stamps, and also at the TIC. As it's a point of the Extended SPP, they should arrange it, as it means a lot especially to children. zavijanje z očmi

Otherwise a very nice day spent surrounded by chamois. nasmeh

which already promises much in the morning

V. Baba, Vrh Žlebi, Vrh Laške planje and Črni vogel

long traverse or easier section of the path

no more cross, no stamp, but there is a bench with a view

from Viš to Mangart and Jalovec and further to Triglav

kingdom of the Julian peaks from Mangart to Krn

only mothers and children, no fathers in sight

Hello!
" bos "! I'm interested because I no longer have notes from long past days, approximate walking time to Visoki Kanin from the upper station at Podi?

Nice greeting and stay safe in the mountains!

DVas28. 09. 2023 10:44:51

Last time I walked under two hours.

Swiss30. 09. 2023 08:00:27

Hello!
Well I hiked there and back in 5 hours. Also
helmet is mandatory, because there's quite a crowd, consequently rocks get dislodged.

We used the cable cars and effortlessly reached 2202 m altitude, which greatly eases the matter. First we climbed to Prestreljenik Window, then across the rocky barrier to the other side, crossed scree slopes and ascended to High Kanin. Kanin ledges are a real paradise for chamois and we haven't seen so many in a long time. More at: https://www.gore-ljudje.si/Kategorije/Novosti/visoki-kanin-3

07.10. Gozdec-Kanin-P. Skalar Hut-Gozdec

Spring snow, summer too hot, autumn just the right time to visit Kanin. We drove by car a bit above B station to P. Gozdec, from where we started ascending towards the old hut still in slight dusk. We reached there in 1.30h, had first snack and continued towards Kanin via Zadnji dol. We walked over the pastures another approx. two hours to reach the scree, where the path becomes poorly visible for about hundred meters. After scree follows only a gully to the summit with fantastic views. At the top we rested and admired nearby peaks, until we headed along the ridge to the hut. There cavers served us tea and pancakes. They also said the hut is not open yet because they don't have chemical toilet yet, and plan to do it next season. From the hut we just descended to the car.

On the path saw plenty of chamois and ibex

Finally we start to ascend more seriously

On 3.10. I posted a report and wrongly called ibexes chamois, for which I apologize. Would correct in text and photos, but don't know how.
No hard feelings. It happens.

p.s.: Following advice on photos I made corrections.

ločanka9. 10. 2023 17:48:53

Fixing text on photos is no problem, just log in and click under photos and you can edit. For the text itself you'll have to ask Tadej or Rok to open the post. Well, that's what I think.

bagi10. 07. 2024 13:39:39

Day of contrasts. The forecast was nice weather, but it wasn't so. Far from it. Wanted to go to Kanin, but didn't make it. Also far from it. All promised a lousy day, but luckily not. Far from it. Chose new goals, even weather cooperated and it became a great day nasmeh

.

Here's how it all unfolded …

On path 636 from Neveja Pass we went towards Prevala saddle, border between Slovenia and Italy. Goal was High Kanin. Expected some snow patches, so had full winter gear. But didn't expect not even to reach the upper station of Bovec cable car. Lots of snow and would take too much time and energy to continue to original goal. Turned back …

Descended to Prevala and pondered between direct descent on ski slope or slightly longer but unknown to us path 636A. Chose the latter and no regrets. Unusual path on distinct remains of former sea more than met expectations. Not a classic trail, more scrambling over rocky masses full of shells and deep karsts. Most similar to path to nearby Bavha.

636A brought us to Rif. Gilberti hut. From there climbed to Bila pec saddle and further to namesake peak. Unmarked trail to it much more trodden than years ago, but still not for everyone. Somewhat harder rocky step at start, continuation exposed in places. No other difficulties. Descent same way.

Returned directly under walls of Bela peč, paradise for climbers. Countless abandoned ropes and several memorials testify to rich history of vertical walls. Saw some climbers this time too. Later path 635 turns into mulattiera, quickly bringing us to valley. Satisfied and full of great impressions we ended not so promising day velik nasmeh

. More in photo story …

We park the car at the free parking lot by the lower cable car station

On its edge we search for the start of path 636, direction Sella Prevala

This is new. The path is cut here, the crossing trampled more makeshift.

A little higher there is another detour, this time with some climbing inserts :)

Path 636 is a former military mulatjera, remnants of those times are visible many places

Appropriate to a mulatjera, the path is comfortable and even

View of the Kanin range. Hmm, nice weather forecast!?

At the second junction we turn right towards Prevala

This path is also well trodden and easy to follow

The mists become fog, the views disappear

We are steadily higher and the surroundings become more and more high-alpine

Some snow tongues do not bother us. After all, we are on the northern side of the range

Prevala saddle, where the Italian and Slovenian ski areas join

View down to the Italian side towards Gilbertiju ...

Also the condition of the path in the direction of Ribežnov, or rather Rombona

We two continue towards the upper station of the Kanin cableway

Some steep snow tongues we bypass in our own way

Negligence of the ski area managers. The snowcat overwintered somewhere midway to the upper station

Snow tongues are becoming more numerous, but we rely on the southern slopes

Hmm, there is much more snow than we expected. We go on via the bypasses ...

This is no longer a joke. Snow is hard, terrain steep, and we haven't even reached the upper station yet

To Kanin there are still more than 300 elevation meters and continuing would be too demanding. At about 2200 m we turn around ...

We return along the same path and think aloud about plan B

A short descent through the scree and we are already on the service road.

This valley doesn't appeal to us, so we quickly devise plan C :) We go to explore the as yet untraversed path 636A.

First we must return along the access route to the path junction. The countryside is beautiful, so it is no trouble for us.

The supporting walls of the mulatjera are in such a state as if they had been built recently.

From the upper junction we briefly descend to the lower one. Here the path 636A starts.

Its character is completely different. It is not a mulatjera, it is walking on shingly rocks.

There are also some more demanding passages …

Slovenian presence on this side of the border :) The girls are heading towards Bavha.

We two go in the opposite direction to the Rif. Gilberti hut. We walk among countless former sea inhabitants.

There is practically no classic path, just more or less demanding rocky passages.

Our new goal is Bela peč, or Bila pec as called locally.

Gas cannon for triggering snow avalanches. The gas storage is nearby, all connected by alkathene pipes.

The hut looks somewhat comically out of place among the numerous ski facilities. Not long ago it was quite different.

The military chapel is still there too. They have put up a warning notice for numerous tourists about respecting history.

View back at the Italian part of the ski area and Prevala saddle.

Gilberti is like an oasis in the middle of the ski area. The hut's appearance hasn't changed much.

Even inside everything is still as it was. The staff is friendly, prices quite normal.

After refreshment at the hut we continue towards the Bila pec saddle.

Touring skiers down there even in the month of July. As for Kanin we made quite the right decision :)

On the saddle it is windy and the military building offers at least some shelter to tourists

We are a bit curious where the skiers were messing around, but the fog is too low

We also discovered this, about which Alessio wrote. The VDG Trail running race will be this Saturday, 13 July

Because of the trail they even cut a path into the snowdrift. We have been encountering runners gradually all day

Now to the backup goal instead of Kanin, Bela peč :)

The start is well visible, the continuation however is not for everyone

One must squeeze through the rocky jump, then the path is nicer

We are quickly at the top. Bela peč has a central location and is an excellent vantage point

The day did not start quite promisingly, but we are more than satisfied with the experience :)

On the descent we meet a Czech family with small children. Irresponsible, since the children are not even harnessed

We are already back at the saddle, for the descent we will go left below Bela peč

We will follow the narrow path right under the walls

Here climbers feel at home, many of them

Tik tak is down there. We chat a little and he says he aborted the ascent due to wet rocks.

To many the life was also interrupted. The hut under Špik is named Po Brazzi, bad ledge.

There are also plenty of rope remnants and they hang from all walls. Useless, but that's how it is.

Descending along path 365, which also has military roots.

Nicely arranged landslide in the lower part of the path.

We are already in the photo finish, just a few moments from our little horses :)

Combined GPS track of plan A and C :). It came to 17 km and 1600 elevation gain.

Stoick10. 07. 2024 14:13:30

Path probably 636A?
Cable car probably already running?
Did you ask skiers where there's still snow for skiing?

bagi10. 07. 2024 14:18:34

Of course, corrected nasmeh

. Cable car runs, but they have lunch break. Didn't ask skiers anything, just stared open-mouthed velik nasmeh

mirank10. 07. 2024 15:11:33

Miri, it's not a pity just for the snowcat, those Bovec saboteurs always behave like that towards everything. All over the world I've seen that after the end of the season they remove the seats, probably so they don't burden the rope and to protect them. Here they were up there during all previous interruptions, sometimes fully snow-covered and accordingly heavy. They knew how to whine and beg for state money. This needs a real master and until it's in private hands of a responsible owner it won't get better. That incompetent municipality should rather focus on fleecing with collecting parking fees and entrance fees for Soča, for anything serious in tourism they have no clue or ideas anyway.
Bagi, nice tour, snow over the remains of the glacier under Prestreljenik and Kanin is obviously still enough to allow skiing mežikanje

capraibex10. 07. 2024 15:22:00

Mirank, just as you wrote. Everyone knows which political party is deliberately destroying Bovec and Kanin. On the Italian side they are much more advanced and friendly to hikers.

darinka411. 07. 2024 08:34:26

I just remembered, when a few years ago we were driving on the gravel road towards Gozdec. And suddenly we couldn't go further, because they brought piles of sand and left it like that. They were there and said wait about an hour until they come to compact it. Because you couldn't go further with a low car. But they didn't come neither in one hour nor two from anywhere. They were on a snack break nasmeh

Think what you will.

Yesterday I went to Kanin from Resia. I started in the village Korito (Coritis), more precisely two hairpin bends below the village. Along path 642 I went to alpine pasture Kanin (Casera Canin). Right behind the hut I turned left onto the grassy ridge. For quite some time I then climbed the grassy slope. Along the path there are some faded markers and cairns, the trail is on the grassy part rarely visible. At Pod Kanin (2429m) I join the High Resian Path. I continue to High Kanin and descend via Vrh Krnice to bivouac Marrusich and back to village Korito.

On Sunday to Kanin from Gilberti hut. Gondola runs from 8.30 to 17.30, return ticket 13 eur (operating hours valid until 8 September).
Before entering via ferrata Julija there is an extensive snowfield that requires crampons.
Back via ferrata Rosalba Grasselli, no issues.
