The first part of the Zeleniški Špici ridge traverse from Kamniški Dedec to Staničev vrh is rarely visited. Gregor and I went to check the situation. The bushes are cut here and there for easier passages at certain spots but there's still some of that authentic mingling with it . The rock is mostly good, path - direction is followable.
Recommended for off-trail lovers.

The hunting trail to Velika Planina "across Kuklarje" starts below at the parking lot under Kraljev hrib (cable car to VP).
We go along the marked path leading to planina Dol. After a good half hour of walking we reach high walls along the path. From there another 10 min walk to the boulder on the right side, where the terrain flattens a bit (cca 1050m). We leave the marked path at this boulder and slightly left above it we spot a less visible trail, which we follow. The path itself is exposed in some places (old steel cables there) and harder to follow in places.
We exit at Kobilni dolina 1479m - north of Šimnovec.

Turska gora, 2251m via Žmavcarje. A bit above the jump the snow cover starts more mushy. To the bivouac quite a struggle with postholing approach on the right side. To the top of Turska gora mixed base. At the exit from the gully nicely firm. The gully itself has firm base lower down gravelly according to 2 mountaineers who came via Turski žleb to Turska gora.
Descent past the bivouac.
Nice warm sunny day.

Lojz. Bridge there, over Hud konec no problem to KV and on to Osredka. To planina Koren no probs either.

Of course you can if you realize it's a real alpinistic ascent not just high-altitude walk or hike. Most accidents on Mont Blanc are due to lack of basic alpinistic skills by inexperienced climbers. For our guided courses no mountaineering experience needed, but for solo essential otherwise serious life risk.

Thanks @turbo

Translation of the question: Can I go to Mont Blanc alone or do I need a guide?

Bravo congrats nice description
Anyone know if you can book hut stay and summit without guide? Info varies

Thanks,

Gašper as Dejan wrote. A couple of pics for illustration.

dprapr, such a tour you "old timers" would have done before these pumped up younglings

Congratulations Filip =) Laško wins anyway

Yesterday 25.10.2022 I went to find the path over "Najnar Štant". As predecessors wrote, the path is fairly easy to follow in the first part, in the second orientation helps. I got into some gully that probably could be climbed if I didn't have the dog. So that for next time. Together we descended to the last visible path and found the passage anew. The path joins the hunter's path "over Skok" below Vršičev wall and together continue over Šraj Peske. Without partial fog orientation would be easier. Hunter's path over "Najnar Štant" is definitely good choice for off-trail lovers.

Nice Deyko

Dr.ejči I was thinking that too yesterday when looking at the route from viewpoint on path to Mojčina hut. You mean along the ridge through bushes from Mala Pišnica always right above the wall?

Today to Škrbinjek via north side from Mala Pišnica following Janez and Jovan's description with slightly different entry. A bit earlier into the bush and up some gully to hunter's path. Rest same as predecessors. Broken terrain and therefore all the more interesting.

Deyko, we went right; it's a plain just a bit uphill leaning.

Something like that plus practice. No rope needed for experienced ones. Conditions still good in the rock.

Some photos. Snow is more punchy - crusty. Overall, a super well-spent day.
