When you reach the ridge go left to Sleme. If you went right you'd reach Votlo Sleme (5-10 min). Actually it's all one ridge.
This is at the top1

I myself explored these to me little known but beautiful areas. With help of young couple (Thanks again if reading!) stood on all three summits of Sleme, but heights and names don't match for me. More let pictures say.
@Majdag if judging by pic 8 very very close.

1- summit with logbook on which it says Votlo sleme 2029m (I measured 2050m) and bell, 2- summit with cairn (I measured 2035m). Taken on descent from Vrtaško Sleme.2

From Vrata noteworthy snow starts only at Prečna Pot. For Sleme actually only on main ridge (before little, now nicely trodden), for Kukova Špica practically right after split from it.

Yesterday didn't seem overly sunny, but it still left a redness on the face.

Almost no snow to Vrtaška planina, the last third of the path has to be trampled. Here and there it sinks even to the butt. Anyway, with fascinating views and silence interrupted only occasionally by birds chirping, it's really not bad for a person :-)

Yesterday with my wife, we enjoyed it up there.
Started at Čerlovec uphill to the PP trail, along it for a while and then uphill towards V. Sleme.
Descended via Vrtaški vrh and V. planina and along the hunter's path past Peričnik to the valley.
Since it was our first time wandering there, we missed V. planina and continued along the forest path under the ridge until a precipitous area stopped us. From V. peak to V. planina the path is hard to follow.
Nice day on a nice trail with nice views.
View along the path.1
Through the forest with mighty larches.2
Up there we go.3
Očak still snowy.4
Here we turned left uphill because we didn't want to go over Njivice.5
We also pushed through the dwarf pines.6
In the gully it was easier.7

...Planina, peak, Ridge...On the planina there's an 800 kg heavy bull....


...I hear the tinkling of bells, the livestock is coming to greet the owner. "Just go past calmly"..... So I go, the cows are already very close. I look towards them if the "jingling asset" is nearby, and I hear snorting close to me. I don't know if it was meant as a warning to me or to the cheeky young cow that was swaying her rear in front of him....

Mojstrana - Sleme - Votlo sleme - Vrtaški vrh - Mojstrana

Ascent into a mountain fairy tale above the cloud base at approx. 1500m, temperature inversion, clarity of views, windless. On the summit just a hint of snow, but nice to draw fresh footprints in untouched snow, which later a couple of hikers followed nasmeh
Ridge traverse to Votlo sleme, which is dry and descent down the steeper eastern grassy slope back to the marked trail.
Praise to whoever nicely provided new summit logbooks with two ballpoint pens each, wrapped together in a plastic bag at all log locations with boxes.

Today we headed from Mojstrana over Vrtaška planina to Vrta Ridge. The path to Vrtaška planina is quite steep onwards to the summit it flattens. This peak is a very nice viewpoint, which today didn't disappoint us with views to the Julians, Karavanke, KSA and even far into Austria and Italy the view reached, in short enjoyed a nice autumn tour.

Vrtaška planina and Vrta Ridge from Mojstrana (conditions 13.12.2015)

Morning -8°C, icy and snowy road, two double signs for driving ban or road closure and already parked cars at Peričnik, some are deterred from driving to Vrata and planned goals from there, … well - then Vrta Ridge turns out as a nice "reserve trip".
For warming up the path to Vrtaška planina is quite steep, only from the cargo cableway (for timber extraction) onwards to the shepherd hut on the planina it levels. The path at this time sunny, dry and snow-free to the saddle below Vrtaški vrh, further towards the Ridge among dwarf pines and under the summit ridge some 10 cm snow, sometimes dry, locally - where sun hits it also hard, so recommend at least "those small" crampons. On summit light but cold wind, temperature around zero (no thaw), in clear weather wonderful views, … at this time and current conditions really recommend this relatively easy trip (access) to this friendly two-thousander.
If you go back from Vrtaški vrh along the ridge path towards Vrtaška planina, some trampled tracks of predecessors in snow below Vrtaški vrh are misleading and lead into belt of dense dwarf pines, need to keep more left towards the logging area and brush piles, otherwise this path in good weather and visibility is certainly easier to follow uphill (junction - cairn by marked path...pic 26).

the path through the forest is marked, some local incomplete markers confuse it3

path down is actually steeper than it looks on picture, but at least terrain or ground is currently knee-friendly28
