There are several ways to access the vast slopes of Ledine. The easiest and most popular option is to follow the line of Lovska pot (Hunters’ Trail) to Kranjska koča. In snowy winters, it’s possible to go from the bowl below the Ledinski Falls directly up a steep gully which brings you to the hut (steep icy step, 5 m). Another, easier option is to follow the line of the marked trail through Žrelo (200 m of steep terrain requiring some climbing). Crampons and an ice axe are mandatory for all three options. You can put your skis back on at the hut and skin up the wide slopes to Jezersko sedlo (2001 m) or Ledinski vrh (2106 m). From Jezersko sedlo, you can ski into the valley of Belska kočna or continue across Savinjsko sedlo to Okrešelj. The best way to descend to Ravenska kočna is to follow the line Lovska pot.

From Jezersko, we’ll drive to the valley of Kokra and the starting point of this itinerary: the Suhadolnik farm (900 m). Two trails lead over the first rocky barrier (Taška) and the right-hand option, which is less steep, is the best with skis strapped onto your backpack. With enough snow, it might even be possible to ski down here. Continue towards the hut of Cojzova koča na Kokrškem sedlu. The slopes are vast, so make sure not to miss the ramp leading to the upper part of the tour, the so-called Grintovčeva streha (Roof of Grintovec). In absolutely perfect conditions, it’s possible to skin all the way up to the summit, but the climb to the top is much safer with cram- pons and an ice axe. The slope is vast and complex, so it’s best to keep to the skin track while skiing. A grand tour. The descent follows the ascent route.

The tour to Goli vrh, which has the best views in Jezersko, is often done in the depth of winter, usually right after heavy snowfall. It’s covered with forest, which substantially reduces avalanche danger. Start in Ravenska kočna, preferably by following the cross- country skiing trails. Most of the time, there are two skin tracks to Jenkova planina. The first one, which is steeper, starts to the left of Gorniški Center Davo Karničar and is used for the ascent only. The second one starts at the large summer parking space in Raven- ska kočna, and this is the line that is usually skied. After about an hour, both options join at Jenkova planina. Head up a narrow and steep clearing running along the border before crossing over to the Austrian side, where the terrain is more open. The best skiing can be found at the grassy slopes near the top and in the sparse beech forest above Jenkova planina. The descent follows the ascent route.
