bojan79 would ask, if path suitable for those without skis and crampons, or do skiers have their own track?

In the south every path is unsuitable for hikers only with boots.

Yesterday I was up there. Probably met Bojan. A bit windy (up to about 60km/h). The path is suitable without snowshoes and skis, no crampons needed either. It's well trodden, just the wind covers it a bit in some places, but no problem.
P.S. The upper station is in the foreground of the 4th picture.

As @sirt1 said, nicely trodden, without any aids (except poles nasmeh

), it went up by itself mežikanje

Left the hut right after 13, there were 8 of us I think.

The last picture is right at the path start where it collapsed (probably during the recent floods?)

Conditions change day by day, but I'd still ask what the conditions are like for Komna without skis and crampons. The same interests me for Roblek. Thanks for the reply.

I was up there on Saturday (Komna) before the new snow... Had crampons, more for training but doable without them too. Last part was pretty tough (lots of snow). Anyway, heading up again this Friday..

Ruzowski, then tell how it was.

We were on Komna on Sunday 2.2.2013. To halfway it was still fairly normal, then 60 to 1m of new snow. We walked and waded for almost 4 hours.

On Thursday 7.2.2013 we headed out at 18h for a night tour to Komna. Right at the start we were surprised by a barrier with a "no passage" sign and right after a nearly fully torn path, so we crossed on a shoe-wide ledge. Extremely dangerous for slipping in my opinion, especially in snow and ice, and just a matter of time before that collapses too.
The path ahead was nice but strenuous, as we went into fresh snow and sank to our waists in places. Ahead of us, judging by the tracks, only ski tourers and one pair of footprints had gone. It took us three and a half hours to the Komna hut (we learned at the top that the man ahead took 6 hours). But such a night tour in snow is a special experience.
On Friday and Saturday there were many visitors on Komna, so they packed the path well. When we returned to the valley on Saturday, the path was in excellent condition, but we barely used it, as we mostly slid directly down the middle and took less than an hour to the valley. In short, these days on Komna it's a real idyll, so I warmly recommend the trip. nasmeh

Yesterday on Komna sunny, real winter nasmeh

. Path barely trodden, so it takes a bit more time to reach the hut.

Yesterday on Komna and under Bogatin, path already quite well trodden. Some care needed at the start, where due to path collapse more tracks have piled up and some end blindly. First left where the arrow points then first right! mežikanje

On Komna otherwise fantastic calm day, they brew good coffee at the hut, channels for sliding down well packed.

Today I intended to visit the idyllic snowy Komna plateau. Snow is still about 2m deep, paths trodden, touring routes also in some directions, plenty of sun. Attaching some photo material, LP nasmeh
