Access to starting point:
a) Leave the Gorenjska motorway at the Hrušica exit and continue following the road towards Kranjska Gora. Just before the village of Dovje, a road branches off to the left from the main road leading to Mojstrana (Vrata, Kot and Krma). Continue following the road towards the village of Radovna and the Krma and Kot valleys. The fairly steep road then takes us past the TNP sign, after which the road soon flattens and brings us to a junction where a gravel road branches off to the right into the Kot valley. Continue straight ahead on the road, which begins to descend. In the middle of the descent, a road branches off to the right into the Krma valley (straight ahead Radovna). A little further on, we reach the next junction, where we continue right towards Krma. The gravel road then brings us to the Kovinarska koča, which we continue to follow. The occasionally somewhat rougher road then takes us to the parking lot before the barrier.
b) Drive to Kranjska Gora, then continue driving towards Jesenice. At Dovje, leave the main road and continue right towards Mojstrana and the Vrata, Kot and Krma valleys, following the signs for Krma at the subsequent junctions. The fairly steep road then takes us past the TNP sign, after which the road soon flattens and brings us to a junction where a gravel road branches off to the right into the Kot valley. Continue straight ahead on the road, which begins to descend. In the middle of the descent, a road branches off to the right into the Krma valley (straight ahead Radovna). A little further on, we reach the next junction, where we continue right towards Krma. The gravel road then brings us to the Kovinarska koča, which we continue to follow. The occasionally somewhat rougher road then takes us to the parking lot before the barrier.
Route description:
From the last parking lot in the Krma Valley, called Pri lesi, we continue along the poorer road that continues up the valley and soon brings us to a clearing, where we bypass the nearby building on the left side. We continue along the gravel path, which approaches a torrent and crosses it a little further on. On the other side of the torrent, the path enters the forest and initially ascends gently, then quite steeply for some time. Higher up, we leave the forest and enter the belt of dwarf pines and shrubs, from where the path offers beautiful views of the nearby rock faces of the peaks, which descend more gently towards Pokljuka on the other side.
Higher up, at an altitude of just over 1400 m, the path temporarily flattens and brings us to the beautiful grassy plain of Vrtača.
After the grassy section, the path begins to ascend again along a path that is often quite slippery in this section, flattening out on the Malo polje plain.
Here the path turns right and forks.
To the left, the path branches off towards Bohinjska vrata and Vodnikov dom on Velem polju, while we continue straight ahead and easily proceed along the foot of Vernar to the spring with a trough.
After the trough, the path forks again, but we continue straight along the marked path (left unmarked shortcut to Planina Zgornja Krma). This is followed by some moderate ascent, higher up somewhat steeper, through sparse, partly larch forest. Higher up, the path turns left and flattens, joined from the left by the aforementioned shortcut.
After the junction of both paths, we quickly reach the shepherd's hut on Planina Zgornja Krma, called Prgarca.
From here, the path continues with a moderate ascent towards the west and brings us to the last spring along the path; above the spring, the path forks again.
To the left, the path continues over Kurica to Konjsko sedlo and further to Dom Planika pod Triglavom, while we go right onto the path leading further towards Kredarica and Staničev dom.
Just a few steps further, the "old path" to Kredarica branches off to the left from the usual path to Kredarica.
Here are the only signs for Kredarica in this direction along the path, but we continue straight along the gentle marked path, which has no signs for Kredarica (September 2025), bringing us a few minutes later to a marked junction where the paths to Kredarica and Staničev dom separate.
Here we go left towards Triglavski dom na Kredarici and Triglav (straight ahead Dom Valentina Staniča) and first ascend steeply above the Murava plain, then gradually arrive in the torrent valley called Ulice.
A little further on, at Vrh Ulic, the aforementioned quite steep "old path" joins us from the left; another minute further, a path branches slightly left from the path to Kredarica, leading towards Konjsko sedlo (this is a longer variant that avoids the steep ascent over Kurica), while we continue slightly right along the better-trodden path.
The path ahead ascends moderately for a short time, mostly towards the northwest, i.e., towards the rock faces of Vrh Snežne konte.
In this section, we cross the path Konjsko sedlo - Dom Valentina Staniča, continuing straight and entering the steep scree slopes of Kalvarija. Here we ascend steeply in a few switchbacks along increasingly panoramic slopes.
When the path higher up temporarily flattens somewhat, we join the path from Pokljuka, which leads past Vodnikov dom on Velem polju and over Konjsko sedlo, but we continue slightly right towards Kredarica and Triglav. A few minutes further, when the path flattens even more, a path branches left past Snežne konte and over Štapce towards Dom Planika pod Triglavom, while we continue right, first quite gently, then ascending to the ridge above Vrh Snežne konte, the peak we saw from below upwards during the ascent over Kalvarija.
Here the path becomes steeper again, and we follow it all the way to Triglavski dom na Kredarici.
Krma - Zgornja Krma 2:30, Zgornja Krma - Triglavski dom na Kredarici 2:30.
The description refers to the conditions in September 2025, while the photos are from various periods.

Hello

has anyone been to Kredarica these days and what are the conditions (hiking and ski touring)?

thanks

best
Janez Seliškar29. 04. 2013
Suitable for hikers and skiers.
_sandra_29. 04. 2013
I was there today.. snow starts from Kovinarska koča onwards, it sinks; you can reach Kovinarska koča by car without problems; over Kalvarija "steps" were made, but on the way back the snow is already very soft and walking is quite strenuous..
anej20. 05. 2013
hi! wondering if anyone has been recently to Kredarica from Krma and what the conditions are like?
Daaam20. 05. 2013
check the current conditions winking
mukica20. 05. 2013
Conditions super...You can drive to the basin, behind it 100m of drivable torn-up road, which adds about 15 min to the walk. Snow starts under Vrtača with frequent gaps, above Prgarca the blanket thickens and you walk on it most of the way, but no issues, at least not on Saturday, although some new snow fell overnight...

Hello,
I'm wondering if anyone has been to Kredarica recently and what the conditions are like?

eftomi7. 06. 2013
From Veliki Draški vrh it still looks quite snowy.
valerija11213. 08. 2013
Hello! Those of you who hiked from Krma this year, please reply. I'm interested how far the road from Mojstrana is still solid for an average car. To Kovonarska koča or further? Thanks for the reply.
Daaam13. 08. 2013
A little further. Just drive and you'll see how far it goes jezik
heinz13. 08. 2013
The road is quite damaged from where it enters the forest (there's a ditch in the middle), but it's still possible to carefully drive all the way to the final parking lot. You can also leave the car near the trough, which extends the hike by about 10-15 minutes. Most people drive to the end.
valerija11213. 08. 2013
Many thanks to both for the reply. We'll walk the last part nicely. Best regards and safe travels.
ale14. 08. 2013
I'm interested in your opinion, is it advisable to set off tomorrow after today's rain from Krma Valley to Kredarica?
_sandra_14. 08. 2013
Tomorrow there will be nice weather up there.. so just go..
ale14. 08. 2013

During our visit to Triglav on 15.8.2013 we were horrified by the stench at Kredarica, due to which we stayed there only a very short time. Sad but true, that we all agreed that the Triglavski dom na Kredarici represents our national disgrace. We hike a lot in the mountains (also in the Julians) but nowhere do the toilets stink so badly that one couldn't sit there with pleasure to drink and eat something. I suggest that the caretakers or PD Ljubljana Matica take as an example e.g. Koča pri Triglavskih jezerih or Koča na Planini pri Jezeru. Full praise to the caretakers there!!!
heinz3. 09. 2013
A month ago there was still no such stench. At the end of the summer season, which records up to 1000 visits on certain days, some crap accumulates.. The huts at Sedmerih and Pri jezeru therefore cannot serve as any example, as the comparison is nonsensical.mežikanje
Becar3. 09. 2013
Yes, they'll have to empty a bit, otherwise they'll just cash in... zavijanje z očmi
Pohodnica5621. 09. 2013
Tomorrow still visit to Kredarica and then all three huts around Triglav visited this year. Any snow left from Zg. Krma onwards, maybe icy, I'd like info if anyone was yesterday or today up this path, I'll be very glad. More people, more know. Thanks for info and good luck in mountains.nasmeh
Pohodnica5621. 09. 2013
Checked the weather, no ice, temps above 0, nice ascent, already looking forward to it. nasmeh
Maemi21. 09. 2013
Not icy, just some small snow patches before Kredarica, which are more joy than obstacle. Off you go! smile
Pohodnica5621. 09. 2013
Great, thanks, thanks. Definitely, already looking forward to it.smile

Tomorrow morning Pu will also come for a visit and stay until Sunday evening, because as a family member he has protection regarding the parking feemežikanje
VojkoZ23. 12. 2014
What are the current conditions on the trail, please?
ljubitelj gora23. 12. 2014
Road plowed, winter conditions, trodden path, crampons come in handy...
loncaruros15. 10. 2015
On 12.10.2015 I set off on this trail. The weather forecast was excellent. Initially some clouds and fog, later the sky cleared at around 1600 m. Views magnificent and the trail too. Except for the last ascents to Kredarica, which are a bit harder in the snow, no problems. At Kredarica, after talking to other hikers and rescuers, I turned back to the valley as they strongly advised against solo ascent to Triglav. Ice, snow and slippery rocks... On descent via the tube, it sinks to the knees, but manageable to the valley. To Triglav next time, when conditions improve.
malimiha24. 10. 2015
Hello, I'm curious about what the path is like right now. How much snow is there? Regards
tavzentroza24. 10. 2015
Today I went from Krma to the shepherd's hut,

beautiful day, at the hut only slightly white on shady sides, numerous people I met returning from Kredarica said the path is without issues, otherwise slightly white.
Nina Špik3. 11. 2015
Hello. I'm interested in the conditions on this path? Are crampons needed? How much snow is there?
malimiha3. 11. 2015
All clear. Just go. Best regards

Hello. I'm interested if the road to Krma Valley is normally drivable? What are the conditions on the path? Thanks, regardsnasmeh

Conditions are great. You can definitely reach the parking lot, unless they close the roadnasmeh

good luck

Does anyone know what the conditions on the path are like, is there still snow?
PFranci24. 06. 2016
No problems.
gigi66. 07. 2016
Greetings to all who follow, I would go
from the metal hut Čes Krm to Kredarica. I'm interested in what the path is like and if there are any difficulties. Planning to go 16 to 17. Thank you for every piece of information.
redbull6. 07. 2016
PFranci already confirmed to you in June no problems, so such questions are stupid even if it's foreigners. A bit more browsing this forum wouldn't hurt.
Good luck.
ljubitelj gora6. 07. 2016
No question is stupid, otherwise no problems with the trail.
gigi67. 07. 2016
Thank you for the answer but forums are one thing and well-intentioned information is another and every new news about the mountain is welcome.
Zgembo27. 12. 2016
Yesterday I was on this tour, enjoyable and very nice weather. Crampons recommended and ice axe. Here are some photos nasmeh

Hello - how much longer is the path if you park at Kovinarska koča in Krma and not at the barrier? Thanks.
jax15. 07. 2022 11:06:26
I haven't tried it yet, but - about half an hour I'd say.
_sandra_15. 07. 2022 11:31:28
@kokica18: around 35-40 minutes.. there's also 1 parking spot in between Kovinarska koča and the barrier, from there it's about 15 minutes walk to the barrier;
sodnick10. 03. 2023 10:46:15
Does anyone have information on how far the road is drivable in Krma? For ski touring to Kredarica. Thanks.
