Exit the motorway at the exit for Kamnik. Then continue straight ahead towards the Kamnik Bistrica valley, following the signs for Kamnik Bistrica and Velika Planina. If you follow this route, you will arrive at the Doma v Kamniški Bistrica. Park here and continue on foot.

Start on the macadam road that leads along the right-hand side of the house. The road soon leads into the woods and continues on fairly level ground. When you come to a fork where signs point to the left for Jermanca and right towards Kamniškého sedlo, keep right. Walk along the path, which soon turns slightly right and turns into a forest track. Walk along this path for a while, which leads back to the macadam road. Continue straight up, as indicated by the signpost. Walk for a while and you will reach the bottom station of the freight cableway. Continue in the direction of Kokrski sedlo and Grintovec. The path initially passes through the forest and soon starts to climb steeply. When the path leads us out of the forest, we reach the avalanche slopes below Kokrski sedlo. We climb at the foot of the walls of Maly vrh and Kalška gora. The trail is easy to follow and after two hours leads us to Cojzova hut. From here, continue to the right in the direction of Grintovec, Skute and Kočna. At the crossroads, continue right in the direction of the Bivouac under Grintovec and Skute (straight Kočna and Grintovec over Streho). Continue in a moderate ascent past Malih vratc. After the crossing the path starts to descend and crosses an exposed slope. Then cross the ravine and climb towards the bivouac under Grintovec. After three and a half hours we reach the bivouac.
