Rodica
Route Character
A nice mountain on the region border. In spring you can see flowers on the south side and snow on the north.
Starting Point & Village
Starting point: Use the cable car to the Vogel ski resort. From the upper starion you can begin your tour. Village: Bohinjska Bistrica
Ascent & Route
Follow the chairlift to Orlove glave than singe chairlift Šija. When you reach the Y crossroads from Šija (about 100m before the last Šija station) turn left. The descent starts here and goes down to Planina Suha (1385m). There you begin another ascent south-east. Go up a narrow gully that opens at the top. Cross the plateau and keep on going south-east. At the end of the flat you begin your final ascent to Rodica. I suggest that you stay on the left side of the valley. There is a summit before, it is called Mala Rodica. Go pass that and continue along the ridge. The summit is shaped like a Pyramid with 3 ridges.
Descent & Variants
You can descent on the same way you came up or you can use the south-west ridge and go round back into the valley that you came up. Follow your track of the ascent to Planina Suha. There you have the third and last ascent. Keep in mind that you need to get back to Vogel ski resort!

Map Explanation
- Slope inclinations are a very important criterion in avalanche risk management. However, slope inclination alone should never be the sole criterion!
- The resolution for Austria and South Tyrol is based on a digital terrain model (DTM) with 10m resolution. Outside these areas, accuracy is significantly lower.
- A map can only ever provide a limited view of real conditions.
