Mangart for the normal route

From the Slovenian side, we drive along the Mangart Road (toll road) and leave the car where possible. We climb initially to the Mangrtskem na sedlu hut (1906 m, in 2025 closed for renovations) and ascend along the path on the left (signs to the summit); path that crosses the asphalt road and takes us to the ridge line beyond which, dizzyingly low, are the Fusine lakes, which we see. We follow to the right to the Mangart fork (2263 m): here we continue straight on, avoiding following on the path of the Slovenian ferrata; it is usually very difficult to make a mistake, as the normal route is very busy. The first section of the normal route consists of the ascent of a steep scree, which leads us to the attack of the equipped trail. It is advisable to use the via ferrata kit even though the trail is simple and devoid of verticality; however, a helmet is recommended in any case, given the busyness of the climb.

The equipped trail super smooth slabs and several "ledges," and deposits us on a debris ledge that goes around the mountain. Having finished the bypass, we begin to climb the east ridge of the summit on a good path, and without further difficulty we arrive on the broad summit (2677 m).
