When everybody takes-off for an early summer vacation at the coast, we usually cool down somewhere around Triglav. This year I went with my better half (Ana) and we had a great trip with lots of snow, sunshine and tons of fun! We ascended up the glacier valley of Kot, which is still completely submerged in snow and up to Staničev hut (2332m) - one of the highest and most beautiful mountain huts in Slovenia. There was a heavy storm rumbling in the night - Triglav was showing his muscles - however, we were enjoying the comfort of the cosy winter room: cooking soup, joking around and drinking bilberry snaps:) The room had around 13 degrees and we slept like babies!
It was a cloudless morning and we ascended on the ridge of Rž (2538m), where the valley of Krma was practically on the palms of our hands. There was no hurry and we enjoyed the mountain peace and endless views for at least an hour - before we started to pack for our descent. Good compacted snow has been spoiling me for the last month and this time it was nothing different. Ana was quick to follow and in less then an hour we were back in the blooming valley. Summer heat (+30 degrees C) reminded me, that perhaps this is a good time to end the ski season.. but you never know;)
