Peaceful tour from Avsa to Mt. Matajur (1642 m) and Mt. Mrzli vrh (1358 m)
You should ski down the wonderful eastern slope towards the ridge access trail and continue along this trail until you reach the mule trail. The gentle slope of the mule trail allows you to descend to the junction of the summer trail. Continue on foot to Mt. Mrzli vrh. If you have enough energy left, we recommend you to ascend to the top of this mountain and ski down the eastern slope. Otherwise, descend down the same trail you came from.

During the spring months, the northern slopes are often quite hard and covered with ice in early morning hours, which is why we recommend you to use ski crampons or crampons if you ascend on foot. The trail is safe and also appropriate for beginners.Tips and hints
We recommend physically well prepared tour skiers to first descend along the southern slope of the mountain and then ascend back to the top (300 metres of height difference) and continue to the starting point along the described trail.Start

Turn-by-turn directions
If you also decide to ski down the former ski slope you should ski along the southern slope to the Pelizzo Mountain hut, put on your hiking equipment again and ascend back to the chapel. Continue skiing down the wonderful eastern slope and slalom along the access trail back to the mule trail. Ski down this trail to the junction with the trail leading towards the Idrska planina Mountain pasture. We also recommend you to ascend on Mt. Mrzli vrh whose eastern slope will reward you with additional ski routes.
At the foothills of Mt. Mrzli vrh, ski along the access trail or descend down the cart track which serves as access road to the mountain pastures. You should only decide to take this route in good snow conditions which allow skiing to the parking lot. The cart track from the mountain pasture to the parking lot is 7 kilometres long.
