Yesterday the hike on the paths of Valentin Stanič took place. Start in Solkan then to Sabotin, along the ridge to Vrhovlje, from there to the top of Korada then just descent to Kanal ob Soči. The trail is along extremely scenic paths, so along the path the Julian Alps accompany you all the time on one side, Friuli on the other and views all the way to the sea. Length 25km

Yesterday's 4th hike to Čičer above Ročinj with 44 participants succeeded. In partly cloudy weather we first visited the church of St. Peter above Ajba, then the path led us to the church of St. Paul above Ročinj. We reached the top after 3 hours. After photos and snack we descended through the forest to the village where refreshment and socializing with participants awaited us.

Yesterday on Snežnik and Sviščaki. Morning already on Sviščaki, -4 degrees indicated a cold day. On start and on path about 25-30 cm snow which burja piles into drifts. Top unfortunately fog and burja at -9 degrees. Hut open, lots of visitors for such a day.

Today we headed to this viewpoint above Gorenja Trebuša. Right away we stepped into snow that accompanied us to the top. For such a view it's worth the 2.30h walk from the parking lot on Lokve-Lazna road. Path without features, little visited.

Today we visited Krn Lake, still lots of snow, at gauge 250cm. Snow starts at 950m asl. Snow doesn't sink in even in the afternoon; it was quite pleasant. Beautiful warm day at the lake, temperature 18 degrees.

Today to Lašček from Cvetrež. Fog didn't let us have views so we turned back. No trace of winter.

Today we visited Matajur, from Italian side snow starts right after the hut. On top 10-15 cm. The path is quite trodden, slippery in places. Above the fog cleared for us and the view rewarded the visit.

Yesterday visited Rodica from Rut. Morning nice sunny, nature showed power in 10 min from sun to fog and cold wind.

Today visited Kobila Head basking in the sun. Quite some visitors incl. ski tourers leaving tracks on slope below summit. Wonderful outing!

How is the access road to the pasture?

Igor and I experienced on our own skin that snowshoes would be the right tool for such conditions, but still pleasure is guaranteed with such a snow load.

No, we didn't make it, gave up a bit before the upper cable car station. In the valley at 17.

Yes, I'm the one from the group of three, it was quite strenuous

Yes we went from Lepena, morning -8 and snowy whiteness.

19.1 20113 towards Krn Lake, snow 1.5m. Path to hut we made with effort because it sinks in extremely. Nice trip

Hello,
I need a bit of help regarding my Alpina Tibet boots, otherwise excellent boots that have served me for 3 years in the summer season. In winter there's a problem because due to warm foot and cold snow, condensation builds up in the boot or sweat, I have
really wet feet. Is it the boot waterproofing coating that makes the leather waterproof or is this boot unusable for winter conditions due to too thin insulation in the boot. Thanks for answers and your experiences with this problem.
Regards Bojan
