Ovčja vas/Valbruna - Svete Višarje / Monte Lussari

Access to starting point:
From Kranjska Gora over the border crossing Rateče we drive to Trbiž / Tarvisio. Further, we drive on the old road towards Videm / Udine. Already after a few kilometers from Trbiž / Tarvisio, the road into Ovčja vas / Valbruna branches off to the left. We follow the road to a large parking lot at the bottom station of the old circular cabin cable car.

Route description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the road ahead, but only about a minute, because we then notice a worse forest road which turns left upwards. The road, which at first ascends, later barely noticeably ascends. After approximately 20 minutes of walking from the parking lot, the road crosses a torrent, about 10 meters before the torrent a marked path to Svete Višarje branches off to the left. Already at the very beginning of the footpath we encounter an overgrown path, which through high grass and bushes brings us into the forest. The path through the forest is easier to follow, but quite steep. Further ahead the path is marked, but the blazes are already faded. The steep path leads us along locally very steep slopes, which when wet are dangerous for slipping. The steepness decreases when the path brings us to a forest-covered ridge. The steepness then continues to decrease, and the path brings us to the ruins of old wooden huts. On this section the path crosses an overgrown area, then it starts to ascend moderately again. The path further leads us past two similar ruins, then ascends below the old cableway.
The marked path from here onwards gets lost in high grass, so it is recommended that we head right upwards, where in a few steps we reach the ski slope.
The path ahead continues on a stony cart track that runs along the edge of the ski slope.
In winter walking on the ski slope is forbidden!
While walking on the ski slope beautiful views open up. A little higher we reach the junction of two ski slopes, and we head right steeply upwards. Here ahead of us we see the transmitters on Svete Višarje. When the steepness eases we bypass the transmitters on the left and the path brings us to the upper station of the circular cabin cable car.
Only a short ascent to the church remains. A few meters above the church there is a wonderful view of the surrounding mountains.
