From Vršič via Hanzova to Mala Mojstrovka, then along the ridge path to Šite. Follows descent from the top into a steep traverse full of rocks and scree; at the end, again twice stem into the wall and down to the scree slope. Across the scree and between big rocks to the marked path towards Jalovec. At the top, nothing special: some people, five-minute break, and back towards Tamar. During the descent, some fixes on the cables are visible, but the marks are still faded. In Tamar, rest with a radler, then through Grlo back to Vršič and home. Very nice tour, but surely won't repeat for some years.

This year PD Lisca celebrates 110 years of operation and for this occasion they opened a climbing route to Lisca, which nicely spices up the approach to the summit. Equipped with steel cable for self-belaying and lots of steps and pegs. The route has five pitches with the hardest-last one, which is short but overhanging.
I recommend it to anyone hurrying in this valley who likes something a bit different.

Vršič, through the last window to Razor. Return by the classic route back to Vršič. For the last hot day of this year I waited for the sunset in the west, which did not disappoint. Paths without special features, but you can refill water right under the first traverse, which comes in handy for many.

This time too it didn't go any other way than to the sunrise. Again over the scree but in the left direction. At the saddle via the climbing route to the top. Here waiting for the sunrise and return past the hut over the already known scree.

I take the shorter variant and start at Passo Tre Croci. The path on the ski slope goes fast but on the scree the world stops. One step forward and half a step back all the way to the saddle. From here past the abandoned hut on the Bianchi climbing route to the top. For the return I choose the left variant, which is a bit easier, but down to the valley it ends quickly on the scree. Nothing special otherwise.

Three days of Dolomites, three three-thousanders.
From the valley in the dark almost to the saddle. Then to the top over nasty scree. Early hour greatly reduced the need for water on the all-day tour.

Open. Price 10eur from 6.00 to 18.00 before it was free

At one o'clock from Planica to Tamar, then through Ozebnik to the top. There is just enough snow to cover the jumps and obstacles. The traverse above Ozebnik still has a little snow, elsewhere it is bare. Return to the valley in the opposite direction. Faster descent was enabled by gojzar skiing on the scree, which is still partially under snow.

Today a nice circular route to Montaž on the right side of Findenegga, which is still snow-covered to the top. Čakanje to the east, then along Pipanova transversely to Špik hude police and back to the valley. The path from the parking lot to Špik hude police is dry.

Today a quick one to the last tunnel by bike then on foot. New snow from 30cm up to one meter, which sinks properly. Up and down on winter trail so it was possible to ski from the top.

The ski season in our mountains is coming to an end. Today the proverb "early bird catches the worm" was very true.

If anyone plans to go to Mangart these days, conditions are ideal for hiking and skiing. Today from the saddle onwards there was fresh snow, not to mention the wind, because I haven't felt such gusts for a long time that literally move a person.

If the conditions are right, they need to be taken advantage of. That it also suits the youth is even better; the important thing is to go. We chose the winter route, which is no joke for teenage girls. Conditions excellent-hard, for skis after return just soft enough. Up and down the same route.

First health then culture. That is, first skiing then to work. Conditions excellent and hard for walking and skiing.

Because there's still plenty of snow on the road, even a bike is out of the question. You have to carry everything from Mlinča on your back and slog up to the top. The snow isn't groomed yet, nor packed, but it skis nicely.

The moon was giving just enough light to the pasture, so I could go without a headlamp. I continued the trail to the top of the scree slope, where I left my skis and hiked up Pipanova to the summit. The ridge plateau was nicely wind-scoured into the shape of a steep roof, where I spent the most time for a safe crossing. There were some footprints of predecessors but they turned back on this section before the top. The descent was fantastic, when I put on my skis at the bottom and cruised all the way to the main road. In between, you have to take off your skis three times if you're not used to skiing on asphalt
