A high altitude ridge traverse from the cable car. An easy walk to the summit of swinica. Crampons werent required until further along. from which the route then continued, in one direction only along the Orla Perc. This route is chained in many places, however due to there being a lot of snow some of the chains were buried or frozen up. Navigation was tricky from the perspective that the maps are not great and many signs were iced up. The snow made the route much more exciting than it would have been in summer conditions. We had a novice within the group who was very nervous, so didn't complete the entire route due to timing. Very steep descent down to the lake, and found a great mountain hut serving beer. Long day, 8 hours plus.
