Access to starting point:
First we drive to Tržič, then continue driving towards Dovžanovi soteski and Lom pod Storžičem. At the end of Tržič, near the Lepenka factory, we leave the main road towards Dovžanovi soteski and continue right towards Lom pod Storžičem. Above Lom pod Storžičem we reach the village Grahovše, but we follow the road towards Dom pod Storžičem. After approximately 7.7 km driving from the junction at the Lepenka factory, of which 3.7 km is macadam, we arrive at the parking lot near Dom pod Storžičem, where we park.
Route description:
From the starting point we continue towards Storžič, Tolstega vrha and Kriška gora and take the first steps along the road by which we arrive at the lower edge of Planina Jesenje. Here a marked path to Javorniški preval branches off to the left, slightly to the right the road continues by which we can reach Mala Poljana, but we continue straight along the left edge of the pasture towards Storžič. After a short ascent we reach a wooden hut, where we continue left into the forest (straight Mala and Velika Poljana and Tolsti vrh).
The path ahead leads us along a cart track from which soon to the right a very demanding path through Žrelo branches off, but we continue straight towards the path over Škarjev rob. Further the cart track becomes steeper, higher it changes into a fairly steep mountain path. The path then initially mostly ascends through the forest, higher it thins out several times and the path offers us beautiful views reaching to Triglav. A traverse ascent to the left follows, then at an altitude of about 1700 meters we arrive at a marked junction where the path from Javorniški preval joins us from the left.
We continue right, then traverse upwards along the western slopes of the Škarjev rob ridge, from where we have a nice view towards the path ahead and Storžič. Higher the path brings us to the mentioned ridge from which we also get a view of the Jezersko side where we can nicely see the highest peaks of Kamniško Savinjskih Alp. We then ascend through a belt of scrub, then cross screes where in early summer we can still encounter snow patches. An ascent along the edge of the scree follows, then we reach the technically more demanding part of the path where we first cross a slightly exposed gully (if it is under snow there is a high risk of slipping without using winter equipment), then we ascend a steep valley which is exposed to falling rocks. In the upper part of the valley fixed protections assist us, the path then turns somewhat to the right. Another approximately 10 minutes ascent on a fairly steep slope follows and the increasingly panoramic path brings us to the top of Storžič.

Starting point - Planina Jesenje 0:05, Planina Jesenje - Škarjev rob junction 1:30, Škarjev rob junction - Storžič 1:30.

yesterday up this path to summit in about 2 hrs, nice path good views and bit of rock towards top...
SUMMIT shitty and crapped on, real mess, couldn't stand more than 10min...Sheep found themselves a toilet with magnificent view..
djimuzl23. 07. 2019
You reached their summit and not the other way around.. nasmeh
lanževica23. 07. 2019
Regardless of who reached whose summit... the fact is that the Storžič summit is so "shat" by sheep that there's nowhere to sit... it's been like that for years and obviously bothers others too...
jetamp23. 07. 2019
I join @lanževica's statement.
It bothered me greatly and also those hikers who were at the summit. They stamped and retreated to the meadow with comments, which is less shat.
djimuzl24. 07. 2019
I suggest to the editor to change the difficulty of the summit based on the latest comments velik nasmeh
simon7924. 07. 2019
Not that bad (for gaiters), but for sandals yes. Indeed quite soiled, but you just step a couple of meters aside to the clearing and it's fine, after all we're in nature and not on Bavarcu. Personally, I prefer Storžič summit with all its ground and smell to the center of Ljubljana. LP and happy hiking.
Lazo28. 05. 2020
This path to the summit is really great. There's very very little snow and you can easily bypass it.
Here I'm also posting a video so you can see if you're capable on this path.
We needed a nice 2.5 hours with stops.

Great. But the ascent video is, to put it mildly, awful. Just watching it gave me a headache. Lp
Lazo29. 05. 2020
pantani1 thanks for the feedback.
I myself am aware that the ascent video is too fast and I'll make sure the next one is better and clearer.

potpodnoge30. 05. 2020
Nice shot otherwise, but you have to put yourself in the role of a marathon runner who's in a little hurry to the finish. It'll be better. At normal speed, watching the whole ascent will be quite interesting.
planika_3. 07. 2020
Is there still any snow on the path over Škarjev rob? Thanks!
cofka3. 07. 2020
No more.
asdf19. 06. 2022 03:05:37
At the end of the gravel road there is a sign prohibiting traffic in both directions.
zupantomaz9726. 07. 2022 22:06:07
On 25.7. when I parked at the hut, they were renovating it. In addition, wood harvesting was taking place, so it's possible that the prohibition sign is intended to keep the works undisturbed.
Tajka678. 10. 2022 13:20:19
Just back from Storžič. Wonderful day, exemplary marked trail, food 1a at the hut below! A bit below the summit where there are two ropes one piton has been pulled out, but that doesn't make the path more dangerous. In short, it was worth getting up in the middle of the night nasmeh
michael669. 10. 2022 06:47:34
What is the condition of the road to the hut like?zmeden
cofka9. 10. 2022 08:45:54
Gravel. Slowly and in first gearnasmeh
BanAna2116. 04. 2023 17:47:51
We're planning a trip to Storžič next weekend, is it safe, can we get up without crampons etc.?
garmont16. 04. 2023 18:33:12
Without winter gear it won't be possible.
Deki4. 05. 2024 09:09:50
Hello, is there any path suitable for a medium-sized dog? Which path has the longest period without snow and approximately from when to when? Thanks
Enka4. 05. 2024 14:39:54
For a dog, the path via the SW gully is certainly fully suitable (https://www.hribi.net/izlet/dom_pod_storzicem_storzic_po_jugozahodnem_zlebu/3/85/5974 ). The only issue could be the heat if you go on a warm day.
M E S A3. 06. 2024 19:13:16
Is the path over Škarjev rob already dry?
cofka5. 06. 2024 21:19:46
The path over Škarjev rob is ok. But there's still snow in the Petega žrela area. Need to wait a bit more to reach the summit safely😊
ljubitelj gora8. 06. 2024 12:03:06
Saw on FB that there's no problem. Also via the climbing route.
JanezAS6. 06. 2025 18:03:28
Is there still any snow over Škarjev rob?
garmont6. 06. 2025 21:20:52
A week ago I descended here.
One snow flank was still so large that I bypassed it exposed. In my opinion, at least an ice axe is still necessary here.
Slavko18. 06. 2025 07:28:03
Hello,
I'm interested if there is still any snow on the Škarjev rob path.
mirank8. 06. 2025 21:51:49
Do you have some problems with droopy eyelids? If you had looked just one line higher, you would have seen the answer to the same question.
jprim9. 06. 2025 16:03:42
@mirank
Doesn't your comment seem a bit arrogant to you?
LP!
Slavko19. 06. 2025 17:04:04
Hello Mr. mirank
I am a long-time mountaineer and wouldn't expect such a response from a true mountaineer. Just a little intermezzo, now we're doing the fifth Slovenian Mountain Trail. In the mountains, it's not elegance but caution and respect for the mountains and hills. My eyelids are fine thank God and my eyesight hasn't failed yet. But it's true, I missed your comment. Lp.
mirank9. 06. 2025 22:03:10
usually I don't reply twice, just hope you now know how it is over Škarjev robzavijanje z očmi
JanezAS10. 06. 2025 07:51:20
Thanks "garmont". Tomorrow 11.6. I'll go over the Rob. Just in case I'll take the ice axe.
I agree with Slavko that etiquette of communication and mutual respect is important everywhere, also here on the forum, and especially in the mountains. Mountains temper us, also for the good. That's why they are.
Good luck and best regards to all.
Janez
leziga 10. 06. 2025 23:16:48
Today 10.6.2025 I went to Storžič up through Žrelo and down through Škerjev rob. Current conditions on both trails are completely dry, without crossing any snow. That snow field from a week ago has already shrunk so much that the trail goes right under the lower edge of the snow. Therefore, winter gear is no longer needed. Good luck to everyone and steady steps.
JanezAS12. 06. 2025 15:42:26
Leziga, good information.

Thanks, best regards and all the best!
miamia10. 08. 2025 14:42:55
Is there also paid parking in front of this hut (and how much)?
asdf10. 08. 2025 18:13:05
Last time I was there (once in May) it wasn't paid.

Has anyone been to the summit via Škarjev rob in the last few days? I'm wondering if there's still any snow?
ppegan1. 05. 2026 06:19:51
There's still snow on the northern side of Storžič. I don't know what the actual conditions are like over Škarjev rob. But it's not a bad idea to have crampons and an ice axe in your backpack, right?
gandalf8. 06. 2026 14:21:43
Has anyone been to Storžič recently, via Žrelo. I'm wondering if there's still some snow.
Thanks
ana8. 06. 2026 19:02:24
I was there yesterday, there's no more snow on the path.
gandalf8. 06. 2026 20:57:28
Thank you
mikkeni9. 09. 2026 10:06:29
Yesterday I went via Škarjev rob and back via the southwestern gully and via Mala Poljana... no special features on the route, nice circular tour... a bit more at: https://ma-uc.blogspot.com/2026/09/storzic.html
Macesna9. 09. 2026 15:36:43
On trips, a whole bunch of paths to Storžič are described, but the path from planina Javornik via Javorniško sedlo and then Škarjev rob is not among them ... But that's okay. The unknown part of the path, that is, before it joins the more frequented one that goes from Dom pod Storžičem via Škarjev rob, is really beautiful and runs through wild terrain; the trail, although officially marked, is somewhat less visible in places. A good week ago, when I ascended Storžič via this variant, it was beautiful and lonely.
Tadej9. 09. 2026 18:14:48
This one via Planina Javornik is also described, only the starting point is different. It is also true that almost no one walks between Javorniški preval and Škarjev rob.

Macesna9. 09. 2026 19:35:22
Oh, that's true.nasmeh
Hrobson25. 09. 2026 07:46:42
Very beautiful path that contains everything: some forest then the ridge part where beautiful views open in all directions and at the end a bit of steel cables and climbing…. In the morning we also had a wonderful flight of a herd of chamois.

Lp
Zdenkob8. 10. 2026 09:43:24
Here it says the ascent time is 3 h 5 min, but on the board below by the parking lot near the Dom it says 4 h. In my experience, 3 h 5 min is quite an optimistic estimate, while 4 h has some reserve.
jprim8. 10. 2026 11:10:16
@zdenkob
As you wrote, this is your experience, times are really needed for planning the tour ...
but each according to their own ability and purpose.smile
LP!
Trobec8. 10. 2026 16:35:58
The time estimate is quite realistic according to the "formulas" for how it is calculated. Many will arrive faster than what is written, while some will also need more time. Besides one's own fitness, it also strongly depends on how "familiar" someone is with more demanding and more exposed routes.
