Rising above the gorgeous forests of the Gorski Kotar, Snježnik is one of the great summits of the Risnjak National Park. Its peak reaches a lofty 4,941 feet (1,506 m) and rewards with tremendous views on a clear day. As well as the surrounding peaks, including Risnjak to the east, you can see out to Kvarner Islands, the Istria peninsula and into Slovenia.

Great hike even in winter. Especially with Bora Wind. It is very cold and you need good equipment because of a lot of ice. There are also a few climbing passages. But the prospects are unique. Alps, Slovenia, Italy, Austria, half of Croatia and 1/3 of the entire Croatian island world, down to Dugi Otok.

The climb over the ridge is fantastic, you often need to use both hands, but it's worth it.
