Dear Rokson,

Thank you for detailed information - especially about the Tominskova Pot, the nature of facilities and how the route is covered with them.

Currently I decided it doesn't make much sense to have a quite long trip (800km / 10 hours) and stay there all the time in city - not in mountains. I thought it is better to wait some time and observe the weather conditions (cameras, photos/reports here at hribi.net) after the planned snowfalls.

However I am not sure about my decision - the weather conditions now are very good - so It was a good chance to visit at least Triglav and Mangart. Maybe it was a better idea to go and have a plan in case of bad weather.

I have a kind request to all tourists visiting Triglavski Narodni Park in the next few days. If you have some photos of snow conditions on medium-difficult routes (like Tominskova or around Jalovec, Prisojnik, via-ferratas) and can share (by uploading, orit - I would really appreciate it.

Once again for helpful advices.

Hi Tina,

Yes, I am unexperienced ... but please chill-out - unexperienced for me means 1) I didn't walk any ridge routes in winter condition - only two or three via-face "tourist" routes in rocky mountains (I expect Julian Alps via-ferratas are even more demanding than ridge routes), 2) I know the avalanche levels ... but knowing levels is only a theory (plus very little of practice) - hiking securely in winter conditions is much more complex.

I know how to use crampons, ice-axe, i have helmet ... maybe even two ... including motorcycle one ,

winter conditions and "winter" conditions are two different things for me - in winter conditions there is a possibility of avalanche (after snowfalls planned for Saturday there might be avalanche level 1). On the other hand in "winter" conditions there is a high possibility of slipping - which might be very dangerous on via-ferratas - this is what I asked (if via-ferratas are secured on the entire length)

I have walked alone alone the whole Tatra mountains (Poland and Slovakia) - without any problem / accident - hiking alone is completely OK ... in summer conditions on tourist (I don't know - but i expect also, including via-ferrata's) routes. The situation is strictly different in "winter" conditions - when a simple mistake can cause you slip and accident.

Dera Kolar, thank you for proposals which targets are OK for the next two weeks,

It's good idea to wait at least 3 days - because there will be sun and freeze - so the snow starts cementing,

I think I will rather stay home - I wanted to go by motorbike - and it is nothing pleasant to ride/hike when the temperature is -10 (C) and there are snowfals, heavy rainfalls. Moreover - it is not very safe to visit mountains alone - in such conditions.

Not yet 100% sure - but I think I will postpone the the plan of hiking Triglav, Jalovec and other Juli Alps peaks - however, they are still in my mind - maybe for 6-7 years, from the first time I
heard about them ... just like the "falling in love at the first sight"

Thank you/hvala/dziekuje !!

Dear Friends,

I would like to visit Julian Alps at the end of this week - it's maybe not the best season for hiking in medium-high mountains, however I was unable to go on a vacation till the mid of November,

Please can you let me know if it is possible to do some hiking in "winter" conditions on via-ferrata routes - like Tomniskowa Pot ?

What about Jalovec ?

Exacly I would like to know if the routes are secured over its entire length ? is there a steel line on the entire length or anchors ?

From the weather archive, camera on Triglavski ledenik - its seems that now the conditions are good - unfortunately all weather forecasts says that heavy snowing is possible on Saturday on Sunday.

In case of snowfalls (and in the next days) - is it necessary to use rope or the installed facilities - steel line, anchors give enough protection ?

I have only a little experience in winter conditions in rocky mountains (2000-3000m), some experience in climbing - but not in mountains,

Is this acceptable to go there alone ? - or would you recommend me to go with someone else, and use additional equipment (line) / wait until the weather conditions are better (probably till next year).

Kind regards,
Mariusz
