Ljubelj - Begunjščica (via Y, snow approach)

Access to the starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Jesenice motorway, take the Ljubelj exit and follow the road to the border crossing. Just a few metres before the border crossing, the signs for Zelenica direct us to the left and after a further 10 metres the road leads to a parking lot under the Zelenica ski centre.

Path description:
From the parking lot, follow the footpath towards Zelenica, Vertatscha and Stol. The dirt track, which runs along the left side of the ski slope, leads us after about 15 minutes of moderate ascent through the forest to the aforementioned slope along which we then climb. The path, which offers beautiful views of the extensive scree Begunjščica on the left and the ridge Ljubeljščica on the right, then leads us in a gentle ascent to the hut at Vrtača.
From the hut, continue straight along the marked path, which slowly turns slightly to the left and, after a short cross-climb, leads us to lane of dwarf pines. The path then climbs steeply for a short time and then leads to cart track (transport-rescue road), which is then followed in a moderate ascent to the mountain home at Zelenica.
Walking on the ski slope is forbidden when the ski slope is open. Then use the winter route, which follows the transport-rescue road.
From the hut on Zelenica, head south towards the north face of Begunjščice. The ravine, as the name suggests, has a characteristic Y-shape and is located to the left of the central ravine. The slope of the ravine ranges from 35°-50° and leads to a ridge to the left of the large peak of Begunjščice. From the end of the ravine to the top, there is a 5-minute walk along the ridge. Descend the Šentanski avalanche, or the closer central ravine.
